Unfortunately we only had two entries for Division 3 C (members' kids). Hence there will be no voting for Div 3 C, but we wanted to show off the entries regardless. Please enjoy! The artists will be revealed after the voting for other divisions has been closed. 

Voting has closed - scroll down to see the winners and all of our mystery artists revealed!

It's time to vote! Our talented members have provided us with some fabulous Halloween pony designs to choose from. Please choose your favourite pony! All Arena members are eligible to vote once per each division. Voting ends Nov 7th. 

Division 3 guidelines: Color Ours - Just what it says, you color our line art. We are offering three sections. No Hasbro ponies, and no altering the line art – we are offering several versions this year so you can choose whichever pony type fits your idea best!
Section A Computer Media (digital, no hand coloring allowed)
Section B Traditional Media (hand colored, no digital touches allowed)

Due to a low number of entries, digital and traditional sections have been combined.

Thank you, everyone! The contest is now closed. We had a rather low turnout this year so we'll probably need to combine categories for voting. I'll post the poll threads later today.

Facing some issues with Photobucket, sorry for the delay! Voting will begin shortly

Two weeks until Halloween!

We have a couple of entries in, keep them coming!

It’s time for our Annual Halloween Coloring Contest! Once again the Arena wants its members to show off their coloring and drawing talents. We are offering three separate divisions so everyone has a chance, even our members' kids!

Division 1
Design Your Own from scratch, no copied/traced line art allowed, all work must be original. Pony only, no background but simple accessories are allowed. Original designs only and no anthro ponies, please.

Division 2
The Big Picture again from scratch, The Whole Kit and Caboodle, backgrounds, costumes, accessories, whatever! Multiples and personas may be used but again all work must be original and no line art by Hasbro or other artists may be used. No anthro ponies please. Otherwise the sky's the limit!

Division 3
Color Ours
Just what it says, you color our line art. We are offering three sections. No Hasbro ponies, and no altering the line art – we are offering several versions this year so you can choose whichever pony type fits your idea best!
Section A Computer Media (digital, no hand coloring allowed)
Section B Traditional Media (hand colored, no digital touches allowed)
Section C Members' Kids, this section is for the active members' children who are 13 and under.
Each section must have at least 6 entries in order to be judged. If we do not get enough entries for each section they shall be combined.

Voting
This year we are going to try out something different – the entries will not be judged by the Mod team but YOU the members! This means that our mods are allowed to enter, too, and there is no separate division for them. The contest organizers (Griffin, Uninu, Bekuno) are excluded, of course.
All Arena members are eligible to vote.

Contest starts NOW! So get busy!

The Deadline!
All entries due by midnight EST, October 31st (= November 1st). Voting begins November 1st or as soon as the poll threads are up.

Please read the directions carefully:

• You must be an active member of the MLP Arena to enter.
• All entries are to be PMed to ColoringContest.
• All entries must be PMed individually. If you send more than one entry in each PM, they will not be accepted.
• The title of your message MUST state what division your entry is for. You may enter up to two entries per division, but each must be submitted separately or they will not be accepted.
• On Division 3 entries, please be sure to include which section you are entering! i.e. if you were entering Division 3 Section B (traditional) you would say Div 3 B in your title.
• Please do not post your entry here on the Arena or other websites till after the winners are announced. This is to make sure that your entries stay anonymous for judging. After the contest has ended you are free to start a thread to show off your work!

FAQ

How many drawings can I enter?
You may enter two drawings for each division.
Can Hasbro ponies be used?
No, the idea of the contest is to unleash your creativity and design new Halloween themed ponies. OCs/personas are allowed in Division 2 if they fit the theme.

The Coloring Contest is now closed and your entries are being judged. But this division is judged by YOU, the members!   Sadly our Mod team was very busy this year and we only have a couple of entries. Hope you like them nevertheless! As previously, the winner of the Mod division will gain glory and fame.
