The photo contest is simple, following the guidelines you will need to submit a photo involving your ponies in some way having summer fun, or I know many people like myself have summer birthdays. You're ponies can be having a fun birthday part as well
generation of pony doesn't matter, so it's open to G1-G4 and fakies can participate as well. I'll keep it all short and sweet for everyone.
Rules-You may submit one photo for the contest. You're allowed to take extra angles of the set up that you've -created, to show off details but only one main photo to be submitted. You're allowed to edit your photo or change it till the contest cut off. If you change it you must edit your original submission post. I cannot chase submissions all over the thread.
-The photo must include MLP but can have other toys ect included. Ponies should be the stars of it
-It must fall into one of the following themes: summer fun(pools, beaches etc.), party fun (birthday or other just no like drunk inappropriate pony parties), or even pony traveling/vacation to different areas. Feel free to ask if you have an idea and are unsure if it fits.
-must follow TOS of the arena
-Keeping the above in mind in order to receive a prize you must be within the age and trade limits given on the Arena
-Post your photos here in a spoiler and all will be put together at the end
Time Frameopen for entries- May 8- Aug 8 (closing on my b day just because)
Judging- Around three days needed
winner will be announced after that & prize shipped (note I'm a slow shipper)
How the judging worksA poll will be placed on the arena for members to pick their favorite. The favorite Arena pick will be crowned the winner and receive a prize.
PrizeThe prize will be a G1 80's pattern plushie by myself with some modifications to the pattern. The winner will have the choice of picking a plush from what is currently made by the time of contests end. It all depends on what I have done by contest end. The plush prize is not a commission prize, but a choice of what I have in stock. Sorry, I'm booked up on request of sewing projects right now for others.
Here is a link to my plushies as an example of what you would receive-Plushies come from a non smoking but pet home. They are made from fleece or fleece like products, yarn hair, fabric painted eyes and mouths with felt hand sewn on symbols and parts of the eyes. They include a foam board in their feet and while I would think they are durable I'm not sure how well they will stand up to rough play or excessive washing. They were made for display. Because of the nature of the plushies and time it takes me to make one there will only be a first prize winner for this contest.
Note: I will now have to use a strong fabric glue to attach symbols and eyes. My carpal tunnel has become severe enough to restrict my sewing by hand even with braces on.
The prize is free shipping within the U.S. (I will ship the cheapest method possible. If you wish for extra things like insurance and tracking ect that will need to be covered by the winner)
If outside the U.S. the winner will have to either pay for shipping or pay the difference of shipping outside the states. Sorry! I typically cover it all myself, but it's hard to get my plushies in a box other than a 12x12x12 without having to smash them. Boxes that size do cost more in shipping than the smaller parcels I was able to send in contests past.
