GUESS THE WEIGHT. WIN $100!

How heavy will this year's grand champion pumpkin be? 2,500 pounds? 2,800 pounds? Could we be looking at a NEW WORLD RECORD?

The giant gourds are heading to Half Moon Bay, and the stakes are bigger than ever at the 53rd Annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off, Monday, October 12!

Think you've got an eye for heavyweight pumpkin perfection? Put your guessing skills to the test for a chance to win!

TWO LUCKY WINNERS WILL EACH SCORE A $100 SAFEWAY GIFT CARD! HERE'S HOW TO PLAY:

- Drop your guess for the exact weight of this year's GRAND CHAMPION PUMPKIN in the comments below. Be sure to include pounds!

- The two closest guesses to the official winning weight will each receive a $100 Safeway gift card.

- ONE GUESS PER PERSON, TOTAL! Entries are accepted on both Facebook and Instagram, but participants may submit only ONE guess across BOTH platforms. Multiple entries from the same person will be disqualified.

- In the event of a tie, the person who submitted the closest guess FIRST wins the tiebreaker, regardless of which platform the entry was submitted on.

That's it! No pumpkin growing experience required, just a little luck and some heavyweight intuition. Will this year's champion smash the scales and make history? There's only one way to find out!

LET THE GREAT PUMPKIN GUESSING GAME BEGIN!

Watch the action LIVE on Monday, October 12, as the biggest pumpkins in the land battle for heavyweight glory in the World Pumpkin Capital!
