The Mid-Atlantic Giant Pumpkin Growers(MAGPG) are excited to announce our first annual Virtual Weigh Off(VWO)!

A VWO isn't a new idea but for those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept let us explain. A VWO is an Internet based giant pumpkin growing contest. It provides a means for growers all around the world to compete in a single contest that would normally be limited by geography. In the past the grower of the biggest pumpkin in the contest would be the winner. We felt this is where other VWO's fell short. Since we didn't feel it was fair for growers from locations that had geographical disadvantages, or in an area where giant pumpkin growing isn't well developed, to compete against growers in the giant pumpkin hotbeds, we came up with a way to help level the playing field.

Say your a grower from Colorado and you have a friend who grows in Ohio, and another rival who grows in Canada, and you want to find out who has the best growing skillz. The MAGPG VWO is the place to find out! Or maybe you want to see where you stack up against the other growers in the contest. Or maybe you're just after the cash prize! Whatever you're after the MAGPG VWO is a contest that aims at having fun, spreading giant pumpkin growing knowledge and to help push growers to new personal bests.
