Count me in. The plan is for a double-hose bong-o-lantern with a carbon-filtered glass party bowl from the top (drilled middle hole), with an extension dipping down into a water reservoir. It won't be getting constructed until the last minute, so expect my entry + photos sometime around Friday the 30th at 10-11PM. It's really the earliest I can work on it.
The hardest part will be making the carving area air-tight, but I'm confident I can make it work.

My plan is to buy some sort of semi-rigid clear plastic (like overhead transparency sheet-type plastic, but maybe a bit thicker... maybe like the plastic that comprises 95% of annoying packaging in the gadget market today). Anyways, with that plastic, I'm going to cut out the pieces of the pumpkin that I'm going to carve. I'll then trace around these pieces on the pumpkin. When doing the actual carving, some sort of attempt will be made to try and carve with a bit of a slope inwards, so that the diameter of the holes tapers in slightly. Once the hole is made, I'll push the piece of plastic in, trying to get it to be held tightly by the pumpkin flesh. I'm going to probably end up applying a ring of hot glue around it, but this will be more for air-tight-ness than for structural support, since (as was pointed out before) hot glue isn't that effective on pumpkin flesh.
I haven't tried any of that above. It is my plan though, unless anybody here offers anything better. Like I said, I'll be constructing next Friday, so I've got a week to think of other ideas.

How about a fresh apple bubbler?

you could make one and it would be yummy but i think for the sake of the contest we will stick to judging pumkins. you could use the apple as the bowl or something if you wanted and attach it to a pumpkin. i doubt that my prizes would suffice for someone of your growing prowess however.... but its all fun anyways....

I think the hot glue is going to be used more of a sealant than an adhesive. Are you telling me that the hot glue will basically fall off? I don't plan on it supporting any serious weight - just sort of sitting in its place so that air can't flow through the tiny cracks.
If hot glue won't work, I wonder if a caulking-type sealant would work. That might take time to dry though, and maybe won't be the safest thing in the world.
I'll be scheming ideas all week, so hopefully the design is tweaked by then.
