CREATIVE TALENTS CONTEST ENDS IN ONE MORE WEEK!!! · 10:49pm Aug 25th, 2014
Hello Bronies! Just a reminder that there's only less then a week until this contest is over! If you want to enter, get to it! You have time! If you are entering, consider finishing up your projects!
Creative Talents Contest
DIVISIONS: There are 4 divisions you can submit your projects to: Art, Music, Animation, and Writing.
JUDGES: Five judges total. Little Wood, Silver Melodies, Arkan0id, Fantasia Archsage, and Gamer X
RULES: You are allowed to enter into multiple categories, such as music and art, or art, writing and animation, etc. You are cannot enter into the same division twice. You are permitted to receive help from people not entering into the completion, and if you win you are NOT obliged to share your prize with said person(s). They must agree to this before helping you, and we will not be responsible for any fights, arguments, or hurt feelings between you and the people helping you if something comes up. You can collaborate with another person to enter, but it's up to you two decide how to split any prize you may receive. Again, we will not claim any responsibility for hurt feelings or such between you and your friend (or whoever you're collaborating with). You can take as long as you want, but must be submitted before the deadline. Afterwards, the judges will judge your submissions and decided upon a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each division. Please keep this contest friendly and fun for everyone. No degrading comments to other contestants, no swear words at all, no cheating (I don't know how you could, but still), and only constructive criticism. I hope you enter this contest with a good spirit and the willingness to accept the fact you might not win, and will have a good attitude about it.

PRIZES: Each division has first, second, and third place prizes! First place gets their own special prize!
The 1st place prize for the Animation Division will be a free animation commission animated by Jake the Dog.
The 1st place prize for the Art Division will be a free art commission** drawn by Silver Melodies.
The 1st place prize for the Music Division will be a free song commission composed by Silver Melodies and Little Wood.
The 1st place prize for the Writing Division will be a free story commission written by Little Wood.
2nd and 3rd place in each division will receive a free art commission drawn by either Little Wood or Silver Melodies (you pick). Remember the art cannot be requested to be suggestive or clop. So that's eight art commissions total, not including the number one art prize. Anyone else who enters but doesn't 'win', don't think of it like that! Think of it as a fun time you had just working on the things you love to do!
If you come in 1st and don't want the 1st place prize, you may swap it out for an art commission in your division. Then the 1st place prize goes to whoever came in 2nd. If second doesn't want it, then the 1st place prize goes to 3rd, and 2nd gets an art commission. If 3rd place doesn't want it, then we will find out who does want it and randomly decide from there. If you ever do not want your prize, even if it's just an art commission, please let us know and we'll give your prize to someone else. If you give up you're prize, then you are NOT entitled to another one. There will be no voluntary swapping of prizes between winners, please. We need to keep it organized, and if everyone is swapping prizes, it might become chaotic.
**This picture CAN be requested to be clop or something suggestive, just to be a little different from the 2nd and 3rd place prizes.
DEADLINE: August 30th, 2014. Following the deadline, the judges will take up to two weeks (but it doesn't have to be that long) to decide upon the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of each division. We have five judges to ensure there are no ties between who wins what.
Please submit all submissions by commenting, messaging me, or any form of communication. This is Little Wood, signing out!
In case you forgot that I entered your contest weeks ago, I shall enter these videos of mine into your contest.
I'll also put this story forward for the story side of your contest.
The Stoning Of The Heretic
2401382 Okay! Thanks for your submissions!
But I took a look at everything and the dates... And they can't be submitted... The rule where you can't have anything made before the contest plays into act... These were created before the post was put up. So can I have something before June 31st?
2403685 Hang on, I did send you some videos before, didn't I? What happened to them?
Whatever. Here you go. XD
These were made BEFORE June, so they should qualify for your contest, right? These are definitely my choices to enter into your contest. Looking forward to seeing the results!
2403722 Alright, I took a look at your channel, and found two expertly good ones. The Make a Stallion out of you is TOTALLY acceptable. As I see you want at least one more... I'll take the New Arrival. it was only a few days... so I GUESS I can make an exception. It looks good enough, so it shall be allowed!
2403748 NO! NO! BULLSHIT!
DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS FOR ME! If I am entering this contest, I'm entering with the same rules applying to me as everyone else! I appreciate the kind offer, but I won't have special benefits given to me. No. I will enter videos made BEFORE June like your contest rules state.
Win or lose, I will enter this contest fair and square. I'll win or lose with honor.
2403748 Besides, the Make A Stallion Out Of You video is a work in progress. There is a LOT more to do on it before the final version is ready, so I couldn't and wouldn't really enter it anyway. I'd prefer to enter something that was done, you know? So the PonyMon and the Rainbow Dash and Sonic video are my absolute final choices to enter. Full stop.
2403770 Okay... And sorry if I did anything wrong, just stating best things for ya. And I hope you win, with you wanting the same rules as others!
Makes me smile that there are people who want to play by the rules! Both video's are accepted!
2403840 It is hard to believe what I'm about to say, given the world we live in, but I am truly an honorable person a lot of the time. I prefer to win by the rules rather than cheat. At least I can walk away with a sense of honor whether I win or lose.
And thank you for accepting both my videos. Might I ask exactly how many entries you have received so far in this contest?

2403861 That shall be a complete secret!
2403865 Very well.
Also, I am a friend of Arkan0id, so can you tell him to judge my videos fairly, and not just vote for them cause' we're friends? I wish not to have an advantage over other people, okay? I feel like I have an unfair vantage with him being a friend of mine, so tell him to be fair to other entries too, please.
Anyways, thank you VERY much for your time. I won't keep you away from whatever I might have disturbed, so I bid you adieu and will wait for the results. Goodnight, my friend, and be safe and well.
2403880 No prob! Night!
