A total of 42 entries competed in the second annual Book Character Pumpkin Decorating Contest at Robert Smalls Intermediate/Middle School Library. Students were asked to create their favorite book characters from pumpkins.

The faculty and staff voted, and the competition was so fierce there was a three way tie for Honorable Mention.

Winners each received ribbons.
