Title: Flimsy Wings Derby! (Photo Contest) Around the first turn.
Post by: Crowning_Glory13 on January 28, 2018, 02:40:43 PM
Each flimsy wing racer is neck to neck in this exciting derby!!! Racer #8 is still a bit behind, but she can still be a miracle waiting to the last moment. Racer #2 really shot out from the gate, can she keep here lead as they fly through the first turn.

1st place winner will recive a wing of their choice. I can also make a special pair for them as well:) AND a knitted item of their choice. Check out trades for pictures. http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,381689.msg1576786.html#msg1576786
2nd and 3rd runner winners will get to choose a custom wing that is already pictured, or a custom knitted project of their choosing. Or only shipping cost on specially made wing design.
All Contestants receive a huge discount on any items they see in my sales/trade. So if they want a $10 wing and participate it might be a $5 wing. Then they can trade for the wing with a $5 value or less.
Shorten rules of the Derby. 1. One flimsy wing pony per contestant. And the contestant has to use the same flimsy wing pony for all photos.
2. Each round hase a theme. After a round, we loose 1 flimsy wing from the derby. (This used to be 2, but with low entries we go down one.)
3. Votes are only important to the round. So once round one is over, all remaining flimsy wing contestants will start the next round with 0. The last round has a surprise element that will be described at the end.
4. New to this is contest is the wild card. I love pictures, so even if you are not entered you can be asked to enter the last round! You can be a great cheerleader for our contestants, or post pictures right along with us. Even if you were dropped out of the race you can come back in for the last round!
Theme 3 Twinkle/Sparkle. Anything that shines, gives your pony sparkly, even the stars in the sky. Make you pony sparkle. This is a solo shot. Photo due Jan 27. Voting starts Jan 28. Voting ends Feb 1 They are in the first turn, it could be any ones lead.
We have not one, not two, but 3 flimsy wing racers take the lead by the nose!!!!

Oh no Racer #9 has fallen behind!!! Racer #9 and #8 can still take the prize!!! They may be the.mirucle winger that comes from behind!

Great picture RoseNoire. :) I didn't even think of doing a pony movie. It makes me wish I'd done Rescue at Midnight Castle now instead of what I chose. :lol:

You’re watching breeze news with Cool Breeze and High Flyer. Our top story today is one of a local pony who sadly suffered a hamster attack. However, we are pleased to say that Sweetberry is recovering in hospital as we speak.

Everyone's pics so far are too adorable, oh my gosh! This will be such a hard vote! So Glow went MIA for a couple days on me, but luckily I managed to track her down in time. It appeared she had snuck into my car so she could be with me in case we saw a good sunset for the sky category coming up. She got lost in some blankets and dozed off for a while, but we found her just in time! visitors can't see pics , please register or login (https://flic.kr/p/22EoiTg) Glow never considered herself much of an actress, but after learning that she was participating in the Flimsy Wings Derby the Ponyland Theater Group insisted she play a part in their next play! Here she is starring as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan with Goldilocks as Wendy and Paws as Peter Pan flying over Big Ben to Neverland!
I hate to reuse a set, but it worked out so well for this theme too! :P I may try and take a better pic in the light tomorrow that shows more of the "stage" set up I had, but I wanted to be sure I got something in just in case! I also need to add I am so bitter I couldn't make my original idea of Glow behind the scenes working the fly gallery make sense in one picture. I have been waiting this whole contest to make that pun.

I suppose it's for the best that I was eliminated... My photos have been rubbish next to everyone else's, and while I had something special planned for this theme originally it fell through due to my desktop's video card fan failing. So all I have is this phoned-in re-enactment of Fluttershy bowling Twilight Sparkle over to say hi to Spike, with Rosedust as Fluttershy. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Super late entry! Hope I'm not too late... Here's my re-imagining of flutter valley (with wingers!) I did this a while back and I feel like it doesn't really fit the theme now :blush: Oh well...

Post by: Ponyfan on February 04, 2018, 12:24:27 AM
I think the Twinkle/Sparkle round was hard also due to the fact that a lot of us had trouble capturing the twinkle/sparkle on camera.
Minty Magic. I really like your Peter Pan photo, :) and Matcha your Flutter Valley is very colorful.
Zelda, I think your photo is cute. :)

I remember how cool it was to see flutter valley the first time as a kid, and you captured it really well:)
This is all in fun:) so if you like doing the pictures, just do them:) I like seeing the creativity more than anything:) ponyfan can attest for me that I am notorious with random prizes:)
I just woke up. 7:00am ish so it will be a bit before I get the new post going.

This is a bonus pic but I realized that DazzleGlow's cape didn't show up well in my photo. It was made by Crowning Glory and I thought everyone should see what a great job Crowning Glory does. :)
