Contests

Mascot Contest

Poll Questions

Q1. What do you think of the new registration and stud book requirements? e.g. are they too strict, not strict enough, require other changes, or are fine as is?

Q2. What club layout would you like to see?
Option 1 or Option 2 or Option 3: something else (suggest something).


Colouring Contest

For this contest I want to see your artistic talent. All you have to do is find some lineart of a gypsy vanner (you can draw your own if you like), colour it in in whatever way you like, and post it here by May 30th. All entries will be featured in the month's last newsletter, and the winner will receive $350,000. You can colour it by either digital or traditional methods, and it can be any design you like, be it realistic, unrealistic, abstract, or anything else.

I like the first layout best! It's great for spring. I really like that the horses only have to meet one of the requirements to be able to register in the club. I feel as if 200 stats minimum may not be strict enough, but it's not a big deal to me if the stat requirements are low, as if people don't want horses with low stats, they can always exclude them in searches.

I hope to enter the coloring contest as well! I'm about to graduate so will have plenty of free time for a while after that. :D

Great! Thanks for the feedback. :D I look forward to seeing your entry too.

And congrats on graduation!

Mascot Contest:
ஐ Everlasting

I really like the new requirements, especially since it's not just stat based, but colour/markings and conformation as well.

Option 2 for the layout, it's gorgeous cx

Thanks for your feedback. :) That's a beautiful horse. Good luck in the contests.

I think the new registration requirements are fair and I am happy with them.

As far as the club page options are concerned, I like option 1 but option 2 is easier on the eyes... I vote for option 2.

Hi I like the new requirements on the horse registering.
Can I please enter http://www.equiverse.com/horse.php?id=587199 in the mascot contest?
Thanks

hey! returning old member.

Mascot contest - Blaireau

Poll - Layout 1, I like how it displays the different colour options :) / I currently have mostly foundations, so a lot of my horses won't be ready to be registered yet. A lot of them maybe don't have an odd or rare gene and won't make the confo either, even when they do get their stats up. I would maybe have different criteria for foundation/store horses - say they need to make 200 stats and have either one rare gene or over 60 conformation. I know I have some that will be lovely when older but won't make the confo score atm too. 

@Maine Horses only need to meet one of the registration criteria to be accepted, not all of them. All your foundations will be eligible once their stats hit 200, and some are already eligible as they have rare genes or high conformation. :)
I'll try to reword the requirements so this is clearer though.

Poll: I like layout #2
For the registration, I don't agree with having to have something unusual about them, i have a line of bay and black gypsy's that i love just as much as my crazy red duns and seal brown's. i like having at least 200 stats and 60 conformation 

heres my art contest entry. my lines and coloring, i know its not that great but i figured it might get the ball rolling for more entries 

It's beautiful, Astropop! Thank you for your entry, and the feedback. :D

My account was locked for a bit while we moved so I'm just getting caught up on Club news.

Poll Question 1: I like the current requirements. They allow more horses to be registered & don't force breeders to focus on one aspect of the game. I wish other clubs had rules like ours.

Poll Question 2: I really love Option 2! The more Gypsy shown the better!

We're still settling in but I'm going to try to enter the coloring contest.

Edited to add Coloring Contest Entry.

Here's my Coloring contest entry. Thank you!
