Punkin’ Chunkin’ Competition
What is a Punkin’ Chunkin’?
Teams are required to use their physics and mathematical skills to create a launching device to launch their pumpkins for accuracy and distance while competing for cash prizes. Punkin’ Chunkin’ competitions take place all over the United States, actually all over the world. In fact, the World Championship Punkin Chunkin takes place annually the first full weekend after Halloween in Delaware. The European Championships take place every year in Belgium. Our Alpine contest pits up to 12 teams in a pumpkin launching competition that awards points in the categories of Accuracy and Distance. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place in each of the categories, along with a special award for “Most Spirited Team.” Download the Team Registration Packet for Official Rules. Team entry fee is $100.
