Want to celebrate Halloween in a literary fashion? How about with your very own Mockingjay pumpkin inspired by The Hunger Games?
You could make your own (there’s a spiffy pattern you can grab online here) — or you could win one that’s already finished & ready to go.
Novel Novice contributor Christie is a crafting pro when it comes to creating Halloween pumpkins. For years, we’ve featured her work on our old sister site, Novel Novice Twilight, where she created plenty of pumpkins with Bella, Edward, Jacob and others. She even won a contest on MTV for her creations!
Now, Christie has made a Mockingjay pumpkin — and we’re giving YOU a chance to win it! Here are the details:
The Contest
Tell us which character from The Hunger Games you’d most like to dress up as for Halloween (or for the movie premiere). Bonus points if you send us a photo. (Bonus points don’t actually get you anything, except our love & admiration … and yeah, we’ll probably post it on the site.)
Just fill out the Novel Novice Mockingjay Pumpkin Contest Entry Form for your chance to win!

- Use the entry form
The Deadline:
All entries must be received by Friday, Oct. 7th

I would dress as Haymitch from the Hunger Games. I think i would make a good Haymitch Abernathy, because i could dress up as a drunk easily. I could also do a pretty good drunk impression (without actually drinking, of course).
Katniss – so I could carry some foam arrows around and shoot my hubby when he makes me mad
I entered but here’s a link to my costume (Katniss Everdeen)

What a spectacular costume!!
Thank you! ^_^
Where did you get the bow and arrow?! They’re so beautiful!
And how did you get/make the shirt?
And if you’re wearing a wig, where’d you get it?
Sorry I’m asking too many questions, but my friend just drooled all over the pics you have; they’re amazing! She LOVES the costume!
Just any sports store. I did make the shirt and yes I am wearing a wig. I actually got it from a friend. haha thank you. I actually won a costume contest with it.
I’m going as Johanna Mason!!!!!!:):)

We LOVE your comments, but a comment alone does not count as a contest entry!
I would dress up as Lady, Prim’s goat, because 1) it would be funny, and 2) I could just carry goat cheese around with me. 🙂
I would be Effie Trinket
Effie ofcourse

Hello,:) I think I would dress up mostly as Katniss im not a very girly girl and i love running out freely, now when i say “as Katniss” I mean her choice of clothing not Cinnas or anybody elses like what she wears for hunting and stuff. I also think her personality relates to mine. I also think I would dress up as her because she doesnt care what others think about her nor do I.
