ARENA ANNIVERSARY CONTEST!

[Arena Anniversary Contest]

Arena 10 Year Anniversary Custom & Design Contest


Help us celebrate the Arena's 10 Year Anniversary by entering our Official Anniversary Contest!


Design and/or create a custom celebrating the Arena. This theme has endless possibilities and we can't wait to see what our many talented members will come up with!

We have 3 fun catagories to choose from!

Custom Pony
Create an Arena themed custom using any generation or type of pony for your entry. How you customize the pony is totally up to you! You can sculpt, rehair, paint, dye, decopage, etc... Anything goes!

1st Prize - A full size custom pony commission by one of our talented mods.


Custom Blind Bag Pony
This category is for those who don't have time to create a full sized custom or just prefer the cuteness of blind bags. Feel free to use any type of blind bag pony you can get your hands on.

1st Prize - A blind bag custom pony commission by one of our talented mods.


Pony Design
Do you have great design ideas but lack the ability to actually customize? Or maybe you do customize but would like someone else to do the work for you?
Put your ideas to good use and create an original pony design celebrating the Arena's 10 year anniversary using our provided template (located at the bottom of this post). Submissions can be done using any media as long as the template is used.

1st Prize - Your design made into a full size custom pony by one of our talented mods.
2nd Prize - Your design made into a blind bag custom pony by one of our talented mods.



Dates: All entries will be due before midnight on October 1st.

Please keep your entry a secret until after the judging! Once the contest is over, you are free to show off and discuss your entries in the Customs forum.

To submit your entry, PM the account "Arena Anniversary Contest" with photos of your custom. You may submit as many pics as you like, but please keep the sizes to no more than 600x600 pixels and no more than 100KB each. Design entrants need only send in their design on the specified template.

In your message, explain the name of your custom or design and if you like, add some text about how and why you designed your entry the way you did.

Each entrant will be given an album in a special contest gallery. All photos, as well any text and backstory on the custom, will be placed into this album. The customizer's name will not be revealed in the album until after the judging.

Judging: Judging will be accomplished through a public vote held from October 2 - October 8. More details on that as the time approaches!

Winners will be announced October 10!



More prizes to be announced!



Frequently Asked Questions

Can I enter more than one pony? You may submit one entry per category but no multiples in any single catagory.

Can my entry include props or pony wear or custom-made scenery? Yes! If you would like to create special accessories for your custom, go for it!

Can I enter a custom which I've already created, which happens to fit the theme? No, your entry should be new (something that we haven't seen before) - a pony designed just for the contest. Your entry should be in your possession and kept secret during the contest. Afterwards, you may sell or do whatever you wish with it!

Can mods or admins enter? Only for fun - their entries will not be present for judging.

Can I enter a pony made by someone else? No. You should be the creator of your own entry.
