Pumpkin Decorating Contest 2023

Get ready to give them “pumpkin” to talk about. That’s right, it’s time for our annual pumpkin decorating contest!

This year, you have the choice of either “sporty” or “scary” spice as themes. Let your creativity take inspiration from your favorite athletic team or movie thriller.

Below are the rules and guidelines for this year:

  • Each department is responsible for providing its own pumpkin.
  • Objects, paper, fabric, or clothing may be glued, pinned, or affixed to the pumpkin.
  • Paint, markers, and other art materials are acceptable.
  • DO NOT carve or hollow out your pumpkin.
  • Upload a picture of your department’s pumpkin via the Pulse+ app no later than Monday, October 23, 2023.
  • You must be on Pulse+ to enter the contest.
  • When uploading: In the subject line, please include your department’s name and the shift category – Day Shift, Night Shift, Ambulatory Offices, or Corporate Offices – for your pumpkin.
  • Submissions should only be posted once to Pulse+ to avoid duplicate votes.

All Cooper team members will get a chance to review the display and ‘like’ their favorite pumpkin. The display with the most ‘likes’ for each category will be the winner for that category. Team members can only ‘like’ each display once.

PUMPKINS SHOULD BE ‘LIKED’ ACCORDING TO:

  • Originality
  • Quality of work
  • Creative use of materials

PRIZES:
A $100 gift card will be awarded to the department with the best decorated pumpkin in the following categories:

  • Day Shift
  • Night Shift
  • Ambulatory Offices
  • Corporate Offices

Winners for each category will be announced the week of October 31, 2023.
