Thank you everyone for your submissions. It was really hard to pick just one :]

 


OK! So some of you are familiar with the blind bags that Hasbro sells. Well I finally found some and got 10. I got duplicates and so I decided that I would offer them to people.

Details:
There will be two contests. One for writers and one for artists.

Artists:
Very simple. Create anything MLP related that you want in any form you want. Any style, size and theme (including R34. I don't care)

The things that will be looked at when judging in order of importance:

• creativity (50% influence)
  
• originality (30% influence)
  
• technical skill (20% influence)

Writers:
Virtually the same as the artists. All you have to do is write anything MLP themed. It could be a fanfic or poetry. Sad, r34, comedy, I don't care.

The things that will be looked at when judging in order of importance:

• creativity (50% influence)
  
• originality (30% influence)
  
• technical skill (20% influence)

Submissions:
All submissions will be sent to me in a personal message with the title "Contest Submission" and then a link to a 3rd party site with the submission or with the submission attached directly to the message.

All submissions for both contests will be due July 17th (you have 1 month)

The reward:
The reward for both will be a custom blind bag model painted as any OC you would like.
Here is the base model:

It is the lily blossom blind bag model
It's a rainbow dash model so if that doesn't work for your OC... sorry :\

I will be using paint specifically designed for models. I have experience painting miniatures so you won't be getting anything low quality. If the cutie mark you ask for super complex it will be the done to the best of my ability same with the eyes

By sending your submission to me via private message on the mlpforums.com website you are agreeing to the following statements:

• I have the right to change the details of the contest without warning or reason at any time
  
• I have the right to refuse anyone's submission.
  
• If you win you will give me your mailing address so that I may send you the reward and for absolutely nothing else.
  
• You will retain all ownership of your submission, but will give me permission to post it here on this website and any other website that may be related to this contest with proper crediting.
  
• You own the design you request if you win. That means no background ponies and no foreground ponies. It also means you can't use anyone else's OC without proper permssion.

If you have any questions PM me or ask them here. Thanks :]

I was just going to custom make the pony I got today, since it's just 2 steps from looking exactly like my OC (cutiemark & mane)
I'll see if I can come up with something xD

[Jokuc]

Why do they not sell blindbags in Sweden? ;__; ..Atleast not here..

[Graphite]

Do we have to create it now, or can it be something we've created before.

[cuteycindyhoney]

How about a combo?

I should write a sad rule 34 comedy!

[Bohtty]

Do we have to create it now, or can it be something we've created before.

I wouldn't know if you did now would I ;P Unless it's on the forums or on deviant art or something. I'd prefer you do something new, but if it isn't on the Internet anywhere then I probably wouldn't even know.

I'll do both when I can. I'm grounded right now though.

Chances of winning have been doubled!

I'm curious, can I submit several poems as more than one entry? Say I wrote 6 poems, would they count as 6 individual entries?

No, the only way to get more entries is to submit for both types (art and writing) On
On another note, 6 poems would be included as one submition even if submitted at different times and your hard work would surly only help your score.

Thanks for the question.

[Batbrony]

I'll see if I can come up with something... never written any pony fanfic or poetry, but better to start now than never.

Alright, then I guess I'm going to write up my mane 6 series for this contest.

[Vicke]

Hell. I'll sing something.

Gentlemen!

[Chigens and Kay]

So it can be anything Pony related?

Ohoho~ I know what I'm gonna' do.

[Topaz]

1. My oc is an earth pony

2. I have the art skills of a sack of rocks

but I can fanfic! Does it have to be new?

[Bohtty]

1. My oc is an earth pony

xacto-knife + sand paper = problem solved.

but I can fanfic! Does it have to be new?

I would prefer for you to make one specifically for this contest, but as I said above. I wouldn't be able to tell if you didn't xD



For those that may be concerned. I can make it look like a unicorn with "green stuff" I've been making models for a long time. I would offer to remodel the hair and tail, but unfortunately they are too close to the model itself.

Two questions.

1. Does it have to be art like drawings, or can it be something else, such as music?
2. Does it matter if drawings are done on the computer or in real life, or can it be either way?

Umm probably no music since I don't really know how I would compare that to any of the other submissions.
The drawings can be done anyway you want and don't even have to be drawings exactly. It could be a painting or something.
