Before I announce the winners I want to thank each and every one who entered my contest! So many beautiful and fun entries and I loved all of them I had all the drawings lined up side by side on PSP and the two judges (my mom and sister) seemed to X out of some that made me go, "WHAT?!" so we had some different opinions on a few entries that they didn't care for and I LOVED But I'm very pleased with the ones they chose because they were some of my favorites So! With that being said, after the winners choose their prizes then I will be having a poll to let Arena members choose a few MORE winners out of some of my other favorite entries

Congrats to the three winners! You guys really blew me away with your entries and am very pleased to present you each with a prize I folded up pieces of paper with each entry on it and had the judges choose at random who will pick the first prize If you don't see a prize you want/like then please pick a prize for for me to send to an Arena member who you know would like one of prizes instead. I do not wish any of the prizes to be sold for profit as I really tried to find prizes that everyone would like and I want them to go to someone who will enjoy them rather than ending up on ebay

Ready to see the winners?

Winner of the Girly category and also the first to choose a prize - Icecrystalline! The judges agreed that the detail and pony activities were awesome and they loved how many ponies she was able to fit on one piece of paper They were impressed by the watercolors and agreed this was the winner followed closely by DazzleKitty's Sea Pony and Uninu's Prom Pony

Winner of the Fairy Tale category and the second to choose a prize - reanna-mator! The judges loved all the details, especially the hair! They liked the shaggy look of the Beast and thought the whole idea was clever and cute There was quite a bit of debate on this category. My sister loved Uninu's Red Riding Hood and OneWingChangeling's Thumbelina, but my mom loved Sarahlacewing's Queen of Hearts and Unicorn_Pops' Goldilocks. In the end they chose Filly and the Beast because they BOTH loved that one

Winner of the Food category and the third to choose a prize - Argentum-Zeena! They both adored this picture and thought the salad theme was unique They thought Cotton Candy looked too cute and content munching on her salad and this was my sister's absolute favorite over all in each category Rhini's Princess Minty came in a veeeery close second and mul-ta's Tea and Crumpets was also a popular one with the judges

Congrats to the winners and after soaking up their much deserved glory I will post a poll to include some more winners!



Last year I held a contest on the Arena for my birthday and I thought it would be fun to have another one The contest ends on June 30th (my birthday ) so I'm giving everyone a month to submit their entries

The contest:

This is going to be a drawing contest! I will have three categorgies and each member is allowed to submit one drawing per category. However, you can only win once. BUT you'll have a better chance of winning if you enter all three categories. If I don't choose your drawing for category 1 then I may choose it for category 2 or 3 So there will be three winners And what about the prizes? Take a look under the spoiler tag of what you could possibly win

Prizes!

The winners will choose one prize and in case they want the same prize then there will be a random drawing who will win it and the other winners will choose a different prize

Some people may have more talent at drawing than others, but I'm not really looking for who can draw the best. I'm looking for detail and effort. If you take the time to color it (whether colored pencils, markers, or digital) then I will note that you used more effort into coloring it than leaving the picture black and white. Maybe you'll choose to put a bow in a pony's hair, or remember to add the symbol on the cheek of a TAF. I will be paying very close attention to details and anything that makes me smile or catches my fancy I have chosen three categories that of course I would love to see drawings of Being a girly girl, I would have a hard time liking something like Tirac capturing Ember or Queen Crysallis with her Changelings

These are the three categories:

1. Fairy Tale
2. Sweets/Food/Beverages
3. Girly

I love fairy tales (especially the Disney kind!) So maybe you want to draw Majesty as Cinderella, Fluttershy as Little Bo Peep, or Rapunzel as... Rapunzel Get creative! I also love food themed ponies, especially sweetie ones! Sugar Sweet with some cotton candy maybe? Munchy sitting on a giant hamburger? Fizzy drinking an ice cream soda? Lots of options and lots of food themed ponies to choose from And the girly theme is pretty open. I love glitter, lace, gemstones, jewels, ribbons, bows, pastels, anything soft, feminine, and pretty Maybe the Perfume Puffs are having a girly slumber party or Baby Half-Note is dancing in her tutu, eh? The girlier the better!

I should mention that I don't care for mixed-style drawings if you draw Hasbro style. Like drawing a G4 and G1 together looks odd to me. However I'm perfectly find if you draw Firefly and a G1 style Rainbow Dash together or a Fluttershy and a G4 style Posey together I just think two drastically different styles together on one page is a bit much, BUT if you can make it work then go for it I would love to be surprised if you can pull it off

I will choose my favorites from each category and then let my mom and sister decide on the winners so it won't be biased. I will tell them to look at detail and effort and how well the drawing stays to the theme

The prizes will be shipped at no cost to the winners in the US, but I do ask for international winners to pay half of the shipping cost. Unfortunately international shipping has gone up

Contest starts now and ends June 30th! And let me know if you have any questions

[DazzleKitty]

I think I will enter this. I love to draw. Will give me something to do at work.  

[Marigold]

Ill join!  I think I have some fairy tale ideas. You know my love affair with Rapunzel.

[DazzleKitty]

Also are sea ponies allowed for this?

[Majesty]

I don't want to be Cinderella!   

[NovelNerd]

What a sweet contest to have! I'm no good with drawing but good luck guys!

[DazzleKitty]

I already have drawings for sweets and girly done.   I am thinking about driving to work to get my colored pencils.

I am drooling so hard at that Gypsy.

[Prince Primbrose]

I am so in! Time to break out the sketchbook.

[reanna-mator]

Oooh, gonna enter! This is going to be fun!

[Lady Starflower]

I can't draw well. Maybe I'll give it a try and if they actually turn out to look like ponies I'll send it in lol

[lochnessmomster]

Fun!  I'll mull it over, but it has been ages since I've drawn anything very detailed, plus I am better at "copying" an image than coming up with a completely new idea.  It does sound tempting, though... what a cool challenge.  Do you want entrants to send their pictures via PM or in the thread for all to see?

[Unicorn_pops]

I don't want to be Cinderella!   

LOL


This sounds like a Fab idea!  Think I'll give it a go too. So PM pics to you or post here?

[Rhini]

OOhh sounds fun! Hopefully I'll have some time and will be able to enter ^^

[kissthethunder]

I'm entering. I need that Gypsy in my life ;-;

[katieklassified]

Ah! I haven't drawn in AGES, but I'm so wanting that Gypsy...and if not her, then the NSS Gusty, who I've been lusting after for ages!

Echoing everybody else...do we PM the pictures or post them here?
