Hello everypony!
I hope you've all been staying safe this year are are all well. Everything has been a bit uncertain lately.
So it's time for something a bit normal. If you've been around the arena for the last decade you'll know I put on an Unofficial Christmas Carol Drawing contest each year.
Its that time again.
For new ponies, you basically have to draw a Christmas Carol/Song of your choice but it has to include MLP in the picture.
You sign up by letting me know which Carol you'd like to draw. You have until Sunday November 8th to sign up. After that, you'll have about a month to get your pics PMed to me by Sunday December 6th. They will then all go onto a poll for a public vote. The only real rule apart from the pics involving pones is that no pics can be posted anywhere online until the poll has taken place, so they are all seen for the first time together.
The winner will receive a few pony related goodies we can gather together.
That said, I look forward to seeing who'll take part this year!
Regards, Charmer

I've added you both on. I feel this year looks to be a good one. Looking forward to seeing what other entries we get in the next two weeks.
Just a quick note as I forgot to say above, you can draw your pics in any medium you choose, computer, pastel, paint, collage etc. Colour or black and white. So if that helps you in deciding whether to take part you're welcome :-)

Burl Ives, I believe.
You've never seen the Rankin and Bass Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer film?

I don't think I've seen that one, no. I'll have to check it out.

I messaged you my entry.

Looking great so far. Just over a week to go until signups are closing. Lets see if we can get into double figures :D
-
I would like to do "Away in the Manger" please
-
Oh cool!! I'd love to join, since I missed out on the Halloween contest :(
I would do Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree as my song (if that's allowed)
Can I see examples of past work?

You may have that. They can be carols, pop songs, poems, anything like that.
Here's a link to last years voting thread to give you an idea of the sort of things people come up with.
Only four people entered last year so this year should be a lot better :-)

Thank you very much! I'm excited to see all the art this year, contestants have doubled!
-
A week to go to sign up, I'm keeping fingers crossed for double figures :)

Question:
will it still be just 1 vote for the poll?
Is it worth allowing voters 2 votes, especially as there are more participants this year?
Thanks :)

I'll have a think about it when signups are closed. I think if I aloud more than 1 I'd pic 3 so you could vote for your top 3.

PM sent! I love doing this every year, and I love seeing what everybody makes even more!

Bump

Ooh, so sad I missed the Halloween contest - I definitely need to sign up for this!
It's not a carol per se, but can I do Please Come Home for Christmas?

I've added you one. Not sure if I've heart that one or not. Is it the one that comes up by Bon Jovi?
