I want to participate in this contest.
Reserve a spot for my submission.
From the rules of the carving and decoration contest, there is no rule that says newbies shouldn't participate in the contest, so you are free to participate in the contest when your art is ready. This isn't a signature campaign, and reserving a spot doesn't make sense because there's enough time for you to carve and decorate your fruit and summit it in this thread.
Rule number one says you must be a junior member (Jr member) above and must be registered two months before todays. Localhostspeed is already a Jr member in the forum and his of this local board so he can also participate in the contest if his interested. He already joined the forum since 2023 August.
