If you love to cook or bake and have imaginative, original Halloween recipes to share, we want to know! This month, Punchbowl launched a contest to find the scariest, creepiest, most creative Halloween recipes of all time. Our Halloween recipes contest is your chance to showcase your unique talent and abilities in the kitchen—and be recognized for it.

From spider cupcakes to Jell-O brains, we want to see it all! Anyone can enter the contest. Simply email us your best Halloween recipes before 11:59 p.m. EST on October 25, 2010. All recipes must include a list of ingredients and directions for making the dish. A link to a blog post about the recipe is also acceptable.

Once we’ve received the entries, we will chose the five most creative Halloween recipes to feature on Punchbowl. We will announce the winners and their recipes in a special email newsletter the week before Halloween. Winners will also receive a Punchbowl Platinum membership.

It’s easy to enter, just email us your Halloween recipes today!

Official Rules:

No purchase is necessary to enter or win. A purchase of payment will not increase your chance of winning. Contest open to persons 18 years of age or older. The winners will be notified via email on or before October 27, 2010. All recipes become the property of Punchbowl Software, Inc. and may be edited, modified, published, and otherwise used at Punchbowl’s discretion. Punchbowl Software reserves the right to cancel, terminate or modify the Contest if it cannot be operated, conducted or completed as planned, for any reason.

It’s official: graduation season is in full swing! We’re seeing graduation parties planned every day on MyPunchbowl as well as graduation eCards sent to graduates all over the country.

To celebrate and get in on the graduation fun, we’re giving away the perfect graduation gift—a brand new iPad! First, we need to graduate to 20,000 fans on Facebook. The sooner we graduate to 20,000 fans, the sooner we’ll give away the iPad.

It’s easy to enter to win. Just go to the Punchbowl contest page on Facebook and enter the sweepstakes. If you’re not already a Facebook fan, don’t forget to “Like” us to help us reach our 20,000 goal!

Another way you can help us graduate to 20,000 fans is to invite all of your Facebook friends. It’s easy to invite them to participate in the contest. In fact, invite them now (it will take less than 2 minutes!).

Thanks for participating & good luck!
