It's actually not my birthday just yet, but it will be Saturday.
I've decided to set up a little photo contest since I haven't had one in ages! I think the last one was over a year ago, and that's just been such a long time. Normally they run along the lines of pony photo contests, but I want to do something different this time. Although ponies are welcome as well. Instead we're going to have a pet birthday photo contest! Ponies can be included and would be adorable, but I think a pet version will be fun. Anyway, let me get on with the specifics.
Contest ThemeBirthday with the critters! This can be any types of pets (just warn me about snakes and spiders before I look because they do frighten me and have to mentally prepare myself
), because I don't want to be pet prejudice. It can be the pets having their own birthday or however you want to do it. I don't care if you have a pony birthday party with a pet crashing it or whatever you want to do. It just has to fall into the pet theme.
DatesSubmission open: 8/5/15 - 9/8/15 That gives over a month after my birthday!
Judging:9/8-9/13 and winner announced sometime after that
Prize shipping: TBD, but I do always send out the boxes
Anyone that has been in my contests before know sometimes I'm slow as anything getting stuff out, but it gets there.
Rules1. You may only submit one picture for consideration and it must have animals somehow involved with a birthday party. It must be suitable for the the Arena and follow TOS
2. You may submit extra photos to show other sides of whatever scene you create if you wish, but I need to know which one I'm looking at for your submission.
3. You need to be able to fit all the standards expected for trading/buying on the arena, since I cannot send presents to people that are outside of that. Sorry!
4. The gifts will be shipped free of charge to you, but that does mean I pick the cheapest method possible. U.S. members do get tracking and those outside the U.S. I take a picture or scan the receipt.
5. I'm not a photographer by any means, anyone that looks at my pictures can see they are awful! I typically pick five (depending on entry amount) that I think are awesome and then have a 24-48 hr poll where the Arena members pick their favorite from those five. The one with the highest votes is the winner. Hooray!
5. I'll add if something comes up, but I think I'm good on it for now.
Prizes & PlacesRight now I'm working on making some plushies for other people, but I have lots of extra material and intend to make some more ponies. These guys come from the G1 pattern and are not made with embroidery since I lack a machine. I'm also working on some pony rat hammocks that would of course be equally fun for ferrets and others I'm sure. I'll get pictures when some are done. I should have a few done in a couple weeks at least.
I'll only be giving out a prize for first place and then I do a prize for the person that participates the most in the thread with conversation and keeps it going. That person I pick all on my own there is no voting.
I think I have everything so lets get to having pet parties!
