IMPORTANT:

We have 2 topics for this contest:

↪ This topic, where you can discuss the contest and ask questions.

↪ The [Contest] Winter Holidays Combo topic, where you will only be able to post your combo and vote.



How to participate



↪ The theme for this contest is: Winter Holidays.

↪ Choose one Golden Apple and Helios' Ray combo, with this theme, and post it on the [Contest] Winter Holidays Combo topic.

↪ When submitting your entry, you also need to:
➞ Share the Golden Apple and Helios' Ray names and authors.
➞ Share the name and the link to the submitted horse.

↪ You can only participate once!



FAQ


↪ These are the only items you can use to participate:
➞ Golden Apple
➞ Retired Golden Apple
➞ Helios' Ray
➞ Unlimited Helios' Ray
➞ Ow's Helios' Ray
➞ Harmony Pack

↪ Do I need to own the combo, or can I use the combo from another player?
You need to own the combo used to participate in the contest. You also need to post the link to that horse on your submission message.

↪ How does the voting phase work? If I click on the hearts before the deadline, will they count for voting?
Yes, the votes will still count.

↪ Won't the first people submitting get more votes than those who submit later?
The voting stage will last for a few days, and we will also send a private message to remind everyone to vote, so it shouldn't be the case.

↪ I don't know the names of the creations and the authors of the coat or background. How do I find this out?
If you already have a horse with the combo, go to its page and click on their Golden Apple and Helios' Ray. It will show you the name of the creation and the author.

↪ How do I post an image in the forum?
You can find the tutorial on the [Contest] Winter Holidays Combo topic.

So what exactly is considered a Winter Holiday theme?

Is this Winter Holiday Combo a Christmas themed combination for example? Or maybe just a combination in the Snow/ winter theme?

In Australia our Christmas is in Summer so just require clarification please.
