Please read the terms and conditions at the bottom of this post before you enter.
Where to look
Start on our new developments page and work through each development, its house types and their photo galleries. Beech Hill Square, Castlegate, Chichester Park, Harbison Park and Kirby's Meadow have all gone a bit orange this week.
Some pumpkins are easy to spot. Others take a bit more looking: on a window sill, behind a plant pot, half hidden by a car.
A few things to save arguments later:
- Each picture counts once, even if you see it on more than one page.
- Reflections don't count.
- Pictures on our news page, including the one at the top of this post, don't count.
- Our count is the one that decides it.
The prize
A Grand (re)Treat: a £100 gift voucher for the Grand Central Hotel, Belfast. How you spend it is up to you.
When we'll announce the winner
We'll message the winner on Monday 2 November and post on Facebook and Instagram that the prize has been won. We won't name them.
Good luck. Keep an eye on the windows.
