  • Felt Art Pony Competition for The Friendship Express (Releases on 2/28!)

    by Sethisto


    Shout Factory has given us a few Friendship Express DVD's to give out for their big release on the 28th of February, so what better way to distribute them than a good old fashioned contest.

    Due to the recent awesomeness of the felt ponies in the most recent episode, and Pixelkitties inspiring us with that amazing banner, we have decided on dedicating the event specifically to that!

    They also gave us an exclusive promo clip for it after the break similar to the other ones that have been floating around the internet.  They have assigned EQD  Pinkie Pie clop: first ambassador of smiles, because she is awesome. 



    Here's how it works:

    Create a pony scene out of construction paper or actual felt.  It cannot be digital, you must use physical materials. You can either do it out of a scene from the show, or from your own imagination.








    How do I submit? 


    Similar to the Equestrian Mock War Training Grounds, we will be using the Submission Page template for all entries. 

    Follow these simple steps:

    1.) Upload your image somewhere, be it Deviant Art, Imageshack, Livejournal, Facebook, or whatever.
    2.) Grab the URL of the image. (It MUST end in a file extention - examples: .png, .jpg, it will not work otherwise)  (TUTORIAL BELOW for Chrome/Firefox)
    3.)  Visit the submission page.  Fill out all relevant information.
    4.) The winners will be asked to take a physical picture of it being held up (to make sure it's not digital, so have a camera ready!)


    How do I win/What is the deadline?

    Sadly time constraints aren't allowing us to really do anything in depth with polls and such here, so the winners will be chosen by a panel of judges. 

    The final date will be Sunday February 26th at 11:59PM.  We will not be able to take late entries, so make sure you get them in before this time!

    The winners will be chosen and posted the following day.  You will be required to send us a picture of you (Your hands work) holding your physical copy of your submission for verification, your entry doesn't need to be in this format though.  

    If you have any trouble getting it to work, send an email to [email protected] and I will attempt to help you when I find time.

    Again, try to use the tutorials after the break! They explain it in depth!


    What are the Prizes? 

    First place will recieve 1 DVD + 1 My Little Pony Friendship Express Train Set  + 1 My Little Pony 11x17 Poster
      The Four Runners Up will each get a Friendship Express DVD







      Good luck everyone! And again, hit up after the break for tutorials on image capturing and submissions, as well as our Pinkie Pie teaser.

      Exclusive Pinkie Pie Clip for EQD!







      Note: Base Internet Explorer doesn't have this functionality for some unknown reason.  Use Firefox or Chrome!

      Looks like they buried it, have an image explanation:

        Tip: in Internet Explorer you can right click an image and view image properties. From the box that pops up, you can copy the link to the image by highlighting it and using Ctrl + C.

        Then, consider switching to Chrome (or Firefox). ;)

        Also should ask if visible stitches are allowed, or if things have to be glued into place?

        Of course, the "judges" are likely to be either a few from EqD here and/or a few close friends. lol

        It's still a fun contest regardless and breaks away a bit from the usual art contests we see.

        O.J., every fandom is made up of all kinds of people; they're not clones of one another. Respecting individuals and their differences is supposed to be what MLP:FiM is all about. Love and tolerate, dude; love and tolerate.

        As for people being deeply affected by the show...I don't get why you're so troubled by that. People are deeply affected by books, by music, by art, by dance, and yes, by cartoons; many a person has been affected, and very positively so, by the works of Walt Disney, which is why his works have stood the test of time. Touching and transfiguring people is what the best of all art forms do. That's what they're FOR. MLP:FiM is doing that for a lot of people. Other people might just see it as an entertaining cartoon. That's their right. If that's how you see it, fine; you won't hear me telling YOU to "rein it in". BTW, I'm not a brony because I'm not much of a joiner. I just like good cartoons, and to me, MLP:FiM is one of those very rare TV toons that go beyond what's expected and gives much more than it's required to. I celebrate that. I hope my patronage helps encourage that. You should celebrate and encourage that too, if you have any fondness for the show at all.

        Peace out.
