Rules are:
Pumpkin must be grown by yourself
Judging will take place on 31st October, halloween. But you can photograph your pumpkin and post the photo anytime before that date.
Pumpkin must have been grown this year
Sowing dates, what you feed, variety is up to you
A photo with tape measure around pumpkin must be uploaded onto this forum in the appropriate thread (I will start one closer to the time) as proof
It must be a real pumpkin, not a plastic or any other man-made pumpkin!
Judges decision will be final
If anyone thinks there should be other rules please say so and I'll edit this post. :)

I am going to grow Mammoth again this year, but I hope they will be even more mammoth than they were last year. Think I need to put more manure on the site this year. I have got loads of seed from last years, so will give them a try. :) busy_lizzie

I would like to have a go subject to me being able to aquire a bit more space.
How are you going to validate the measurement? One or two folks just might be tempted to use a tape that has been knotted or photoshopped. I bet I'm not the only one to have thought of that. :P
If I can get the room I will grow Atlantic giant.
Someone diddn't have a clue what 1400lb was. Well it is more than half a ton and would require 16 strong men to move it safely by hand.

Anyway, if anyone cheats, they will get a visit from the A4A 'mangement'. :o Do you have any idea what they do to you? It's terrible.
They get a sack full of bindweed roots, and spread them liberally all over your plot. Then they pierce your water buts and open a jar of whitefly into your greenhouse. And that is AFTER they have walked all over your raised beds.
Some people never recover, give up gardening and take up macrame.
