This is IT!! The moment we decided who shall be QUEEN! These girls really took on trial after trial in the quest for the crown.

These contestants have competed in 90% of the competition...actually they have been in ALL the rounds....THANK YOU for all your hard work.

Queen Lilly was quite distressed when she found her crown missing with a mysterious note from Sea Poppy asking Lilly to come to the Pool of Destiny. As Lilly swam through the jewel encrusted pathway to the pool she noticed her subjects standing on the sidelines staring at her as she moved forward. Finally she saw Sea Poppy at the edge of the pool guarding the missing crown. Lilly's head began to spin. Would Sea Poppy declare herself queen or give Lilly the crown?

3rd Runner Up

At her coronation, Dream Blue was excited but nervous. Becoming queen meant that she would have many more responsibilities, but with those came far greater opportunities. Hundreds gathered in the royal hall to observe and celebrate their new ruler. At the front, Princess Blue Mist stood proudly, showing her golden leaf crown that she had been awarded. Dream Blue had asked for her favourite band to appear and perform, her request was honoured, and the six members proudly watched and cheered her on. It was now time for her first words as a Queen. With her shining gold crown and precious royal heirlooms, she took a deep breath and proclaimed “It is an honour to be crowned queen of ponyville. I am certain that there will be many more days and events dedicated to me, so I declare that this day become a public holiday, for all those in this kingdom to rejoice and celebrate each other, not just myself”. Cheers roared through the hall, and all the way around the castle grounds.

After her coronation, Moonstone went out for ice cream at Scoops' parlor with her advisor, friend, and trusted confidant, Cotton Candy. The two talked about the coronation, what was to come, and celebrated Moonstone's success :)

Minty appreciated her time as queen, but deep down knew she really wasn't royalty material. The truth is, she hadn't been very happy in her role for a while now. She consulted with Spike and Wysteria and together came up with a new plan for who should rule Ponyville. "Wysteria, when you were last princess, I thought it was really nice that you declared all of us princess." Minty said. "What if we keep that tradition going? Spike can work with a different pony through the year and we can have a new ruler each season!" "I think that's a fantastic idea, Minty." Wysteria said. "Since Sparkleworks has been here the longest, and she was my main competition, I think I'd like to crown her as queen of summer this year!," Minty cheered. The three of them set off together to plan a surprise ceremony for Sparkleworks. "When your rule is over, you can choose who will be queen of fall. Hopefully in time, we will all have a chance to be ruler of Ponyville!"

Our WINNER is

"How shall my royal coronation be?
A marvelous sight, for all the kingdom to see!
The day would begin with my magnificent gown,
It would have thirty - no, forty! - petticoats, and my crown!

Not just one crown, but two, or even more!
With a long, floaty veil that drapes down to the floor!
The Ring of Ruling would glitter on my leg,
And my lashes would be thick enough to crack open an egg!!

I'd invite every member of society - rich to poor,
With representatives from every pony country, maybe even more!
A Hippogriff, a Seapony princess, Fairy-Tail Bird,
All gathered to hang on my every regal word!

The Royal Crowning Bird, with her owlish noble court,
Would quiet down the crowd as they prepare the sort
Of heady, serious oaths that one takes at a crowning -
But that's much too boring! Let's instead talk about my gowning!

Or even better, let's discuss my fussy courtiers,
Who, in their single-petticoated gowns, would cry fiercely jealous tears!
Perhaps they should have thought of a nicer way to be,
Instead of oh-so-jealous of my regal royalty!

Today the crowning, truly an event to talk about for years to come!
But perhaps tomorrow a king - a gorgeous prince to admire, not just some bum!
I'd return home at the end of the day, my legs rubbery and sore,
But happy, elated, joyful and glad! Not just a princess anymore!"

"That's lovely, Your Highness, and I appreciate your ideas very much;
But I only asked what Her Majesty might like to have for today's lunch!”

Good luck everyone.  I’ve enjoyed competing with everyone. Snapdragon, I’ve been wowed by your poetry in each round.  :)

A. I pick “Spring Time” but if I could chose 2 “Holiday Time “ would be my 2nd choice. We sometimes get snow where I live but not much and although some of the trees turn in the fall it’s not enough for beautiful fall photos.

B. I think a contest featuring baby ponies would be fun. :) I have a lot of baby accessories that I would love to show off. Also seaponies and merponies.

C. “Beautiful Baby” “When I Grow Up”

Crowning Glory thank you for hosting these photo contests. I always have fun participating in them. :)

Sorry for dropping out at the end, life got a bit busy for me but I had tons of fun! Thanks for hosting this!


Fall before Christmas for the next contest.

So hard to choose just two! Everyone looks so beautiful :)

Here are my votes for upcoming contests:

A: I would love to see either fall before Christmas or holiday time!

B: For grouping, maybe rainbow ponies?

C: this is probably the hardest part, idk how you always come up with so many good category ideas! Maybe based on the fall or holiday time themes some thing like favorite seasonal activity? Winter or fall fashion?

Thanks for always taking the time to host these photo contests! I always have so much fun with them!  :)

It really is hard to chose! Here's my thoughts:

A. I'm fine with any time :)

B. I would love to do flutters or boys! I have more of each now, and I like more of a species-like themed contest like flutters, rainbows, boys, etc.

C. For a beauty contest themed thing, maybe getting a makeover, bad hair day? For a holiday or seasonal, maybe baking, in winter garb, doing winter crafts.

Thank you for hosting all of these contests CG <3

Good luck everyone.  I’ve enjoyed competing with everyone. Snapdragon, I’ve been wowed by your poetry in each round.  :)


You're so sweet Ponyfan, thank you!! I think anyone who ever tried to diagram my poetry would, uh, wince; it's not exactly perfect iambic pentameter, you know?! XD But I sorta tried to have the same number of syllables, and the rhyming!! I did my best, so thank you, you're very sweet!! :heart: I've had a ton of fun in this contest, and trying to fit in a poem each time was an extra little bit of fun for me!! And a headache, sometimes... xD

A. I'd lean towards winter-after-the-holiday or springtime for the next contest, if only because those are a little 'slower' in terms of holidays!

B. Of the three samples, I'd say princess ponies! I'd also love to see baby ponies - there's OODLES of them!

C. Party/birthday theme! Holiday theme, like what holiday does your pony like the most? (Someone's gotta love Arbor Day, right?!) Silly Hat/Silly Outfit theme! Color theme, like surround your pony with items that match her body/hair color! Uhh, lemme think - Big Sister/Little Sister theme? Pet theme? So many options! :)

Congrats everyone! The pics have been great :D

I hope maybe I'll be able to participate in one of these sometime, when I'm not always so far away from my ponies...

As for themes - this one was sort of 'song inspired'...maybe there's another original series song that might inspire a theme? I'm not really thinking of the smooze (cue purple blankets everywhere, lol), but just a thought..?

I thought it was great. :) I tried to make the captions for Lilly's photos a little silly as my baby sea ponies love to play tricks on each other.


Congrats on winning the contest. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :party:

Wow, what an awesome surprise, thank you everyone!! I thought the competition was really stiff, and everyone put forward really creative, clever entries!! :cheer: Ponyfan, I loved your entries too!! I love how it was still dramatic (a coup?!) but in a very silly, childish way! You did a great job! :heart: Great job everyone, congratulations, and thank you for voting for me! :frolic: It was a lot of work trying to fit my photos around my busy schedule (when did that start?! where did all my free time go?!), but it was a lot of fun, so it was definitely worth it!

Just for fun, here's a shot of a close-up of Princess Tarantula Lashes' coronation gown, and the owlish court that is crowning her! Thank you everyone, and most of all thanks to Crowning_Glory13 who ran such a fun contest!! I loved participating in it! :heart:
