Art Contest - December

[Rarity 246]

I am delighted to have been given the chance to present this Contest for the month of December, Winter is here at last and this seems like the perfect time to showcase my new Winter-line, but enough about me, This Contest is for everypony, so here's what we'll do,
to avoid the Vulgar choises mixed themes sometimes present us with, we're going to go for the purity of Winter, Snow, and Hearthwarming, now in the spirit of the holidays, it's decided that you won't have to mix all 3, any one of those three is enough to have a valid entry
other rules do still apply though, so make sure to keep your entries clean and safe for foals, and if you use a base, mention it,
that would be all, may you all have a lovely evening.

Deadline is the end of the month, as usual, and there might me a surprise this time but don't hold me to it
Entries are to be submitted here
if you recieve an error text, the entry still gets through, don't worry

safe for children

Ha! Rarity broke the 4th wall! I'm pretty sure it's "foals"

So, do I just draw things related to cold stuff and Hearth's Warming?

the theme is either, "snow", "Hearthswarming" or "Winter", you can chose which one

It has to be a pony, right?

[Treeglow Flicker 12,973]

Sounds like fun!

Me thinks I shall be entering this. Just as soon as I have finished sipping the tea from my Rainbow Dash head shaped mug... And have actually completed a piece of artwork to enter.

I'm pretty sure the word "Children" was used in the show.

Though I should ask.  Does it specifically have to be "Hearth's Warming" or we allowed to do a Christmas theme?

Go for it. There's not much difference anyway

[MidnightFire1222 1,682]

I might enter this, only because I have a long vacation coming up that'll allow me time to draw.

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

In spirit of the holidays, this month we'll have a special Guest Artist see the entries and chose the winner, so make sure to do your best everypony

Well, there are a few traditional differences, like the dolls.  But it's more like if I had text saying "Merry Christmas" wouldn't want to get counted off for it.

it'll be fine

I will be doing this. I know I've been saying that for the last three competitions, but I really mean it this time.

[ShadOBabe 18,984]

I just submitted mine! Got that error code you mentioned.

My entry was actually a two-parter, so I sent both. Hopefully that’s not a problem. X3

it's no problem having a two parter, and it got through, but the links to the images were broken, can you reupload them? thanks, and happy Hearth's Warming

Ok. Worked fine this time. Thanks

[Cash In 21,471]

How much longer do we have left exactly?

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

Can't promise exact time since we'll have a guest judge. But if it's 2018 you're good to go

[Cash In 21,471]

Alright. I'll have it done and submitted, within the next 24 hours.

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

Jan 1st is approaching, make sure to submit your entries by then, or they may be left out

[KH7672 1,604]

I have submitted it and with mere hours to spare!

Now this was a fun month  While I don't have to win the contest I just hope the judge and everyone will appreciate the effort I put into my submission.  This was definitely my most ambitious work and a total passion project for the entire month of December, so I hope you all like it. 

[Treeglow Flicker 12,973]

Ah bum nuggets. Looks like I'm not gonna make it in time for this. That'll teach me to leave things to the last minute! Hopefully next contest I will be less tardy.

Good luck to those who submitted stuff!

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

the guest will arive tomorrow, so there's still a bit of time left, and about that surprise Rarity announced, since it's the last one of this year, we decided to have it be a two part contest, with 2 seperate winners, one will be for the month of December, as usual, and then there's the bonus part where the entries from all the previous months will take part, a recap of sorts

So then mind if I ask for safety sake and since I have time to resubmit did my submission "work" or did it not load?
