Hello every pony! It really is that time of year again. I'm opening signups for the 12 Days of Christmas drawing comp.

3. All pics must be back to me by no later than Saturday 16th December.
4. There will be a week long vote and then the winners announced. Prizes will be sent in the new year.

Deck the halls

Could you let me know a title please? If it's a bit awkward to translate make something up that best describes it.
Any info you send with the pic I'll post too for people to read.

Oh, this sounds fun! I'm sure I'd have time to do a pic by the deadline! Could I have 5 golden rings? Thanks!

Yes you may. I've added you on.

Oh forgot to tell the title of the carol of my choice is "På låven sitter Nissen (At the barn sits Nisse/hob/brownie/brounie)"
Old old song. I think every kid in Norway know this.

Carol Song: A Christmas Carol this was played in the musical movie Scrooge.


Too bad that I can't do the songs Bless Us All, or another song from the Christmas musical  Scrooge called Christmas Children, or the song Tiny Tim sings in that movie.

Charmer says it's up to you. As long as you're able to scan it in and it's viewable when you PM it to me that's fine. You can use any medium or art form you choose. You're welcome to use a computer as well, they don't have to be hand drawn.

I haven't got a art program on my laptop, so I will have to do it hand drawn first then scan it.

Yes, you may do 3 french hens. I've put you down for that too now.

Basically, PM them to me when they are complete. When I have all the entries back (no later than December 15th) I'll put them all in a poll thread on here for people to vote for the winners of each comp. I just ask that you hold off sharing them online anywhere beforehand so the vote is the first time the voters will have seen them all.
After that you're free to share them where you like :-)

Aw, love this contest.  :heart: I don't think I will have the time to enter this year, not to mention the two remaining days are ones I've done/collaborated on before. I'll just leave a bump so we can hopefully fill up those last three spots.

So excited to see everyone's amazing holiday art.

Generally it's hand drawn or PC drawn pics. As long as it's technically an artwork of time kind I'm ok with something different, and it has to depict whatever you're attempting also.

As for the prizes, don't expect anything too extravagant, it's usually just random pony-related items we've bought from local shops; stationary, blind bags, stickers, badges, key rings etc. You may have some before and you may not, it's just to make it a bit more fun and I think the winners deserve something as they are all so amazing each time.
