We have our facebook page up and running once again! Mind helping us dust the cobwebs off of it?
Awesome! Well, we'd love to have a new profile picture, as beautiful as Rarity is, it needs updating.

The winner will have their picture as the profile picture for AT LEAST a month, or until we decide we need another one.
But it's guaranteed a month! They will also get a shout out in the community post, as well as, their picture highlighted in said community post.
Not to mention, who doesn't want bragging rights?
Now remember, it's not about winning, it's about having fun~

Now the rules are simple.

- Any form of art is fine.
This means it can be a real life picture, it can be hand drawn, it can be digitally painted (or drawn). As long as it is a picture that can be uploaded, it doesn't matter!

- The requirements.
It must be related to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and/or Everypony.
This means it can include any of the characters from MLP: FiM or any of the OC's around Everypony, or anything else you can think of that is pony related.
It can even have Spike! Or Angel! Be creative! If you use an OC that is not yours, however, please make sure you obtain permission for using someone else's OC (just as a precaution).

- The Don'ts.
No NSFW pictures. No gore. It must be a family friendly picture.

- The Time Limit.
You have til June 15th to come up with your idea, create it and finalize it. That should give everyone enough time.
If a good portion of entries need more time, just let me know and I can extend it out more!


Once you have a finished entry just post it here!
Once the contest is over we'll have you, yes YOU, the members, judge the pictures in a poll.
The picture with the highest number of votes will be our winner for this contest.
Ties will be solved by another poll of the pictures that tied for first.


Sound exciting? I hope it does! I know we have some really creative people here and I can't wait to see what comes out of this!
While you're at it, if you feel up to it feel free to give us a like on facebook! It is not a requirement of this contest, just to make that clear, just a fun way to stay connected with things happening around Everypony.



Thanks to you all, and good luck! ]]> Competitions HarleyCyn http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?11808-Everypony-s-Facebook-Profile-Picture-Contest http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?11456-Eight-Star-s-Community-Contest-Sixth-Month-May!&goto=newpost Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:50:17 GMT Greetings Everypony!

I hope by now you all know me, for I am Eight Star, one of your leaders.

What I've brought you here for is a competition. One that will test your artistic prowess... be it by image, sound, or literature.

The Goal:
To create a piece of art which most closely resembles the subject matter. Each month I will give an ambiguous subject, and you ponies will try to come up with something that resembles the subject. The simplest thing would be a drawing, digital or traditional, that is uploaded and then PM'd to me. However, I encourage musicians and writers to, if they feel so inspired, feel free to try their hoof at it.

The Prize:
One of many items. The main prize I had intended was that the winner got to plot out your own fan fiction and I would write it, while the runner ups would get spots in the fiction. Other than that, the winner can choose to, instead, receive a Steam Game valued up to $30, or they could order a pony-related commission that I would pay for, (up to $30,) or we could discuss any number of items.

In addition, the winner is able to be turned into their own emoticon! Which has a great potential to become one of those usable in the chat and on our fair site! (With the stipulation that if you leave forevuh your emote may be replaced.) Or you can request any emote you want. Of course, the emote will be done by yours truely before being added, but it can be made during a stream for added accuracy.

How Submissions Are Judged:
Me and a team of two un-biased experts, (because they don't know you ponies,) will grade works on skill, calculated effort, and how well the submission matches the subject. Skill will account for up to 6 points, effort will account for up to 4 points, and submission creatively matching the subject will account for up to 10 points. So, ponies of any skill level are encouraged to enter, as long as you can get creative with the topic. While one pony may submit more than one item in a month, only the last item submitted will be judged for your placing.

Submission Times & Methods:
You have the option of sending your submission through PM, or if you're confident with everypony seeing it before the deadline, you may post it here. Submissions must have been started and finished during the month that the subject is in play. Submissions do not have to be specifically for this contest to be posted as long as they follow the time constraints. The deadline for each month is precisely the time that, in EST, the calendar month changes. Given the month-long deadline, leeway will only be given under very rare circumstances.

May's Subject:
The subject for the month of May is: Flowering Beauty

That can have to do with flowers, or not at all. Though as they say; April Showers bring May Flowers.
