Hello all! 

As the title says I have reached 1800! First, quick thanks for all of your support.  It has been a while since I have done something as thanks so I decided that for 1800 I will do a little competition.  Now, this is my first time trying to do a competition so I do not know how it will work out.  I am hoping that I will get a lot of participants, but in the end I may not and that's fine too!  I am only handing out awards to first place(s), that of course being a free commission from yours truly.  There will be a couple chances to win which I will explain below, but first the topic! So, based upon feed back from my polls I am thinking that the drawing/painting/whatever medium you choose should depict this:

It is Rho's first time visiting Ponyville. Excited about visiting one of the most diverse towns in Equestria, Rho sets out to explore. The only problem is that she doesn't know the area very well and is having a tough time finding out what to do.  Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to draw Rho doing some sort of activity with a canon character from Ponyville (sorry Fancy Pants fans =P).  This can include any character from the Mane 6 to any of the background characters.  For instance, you could draw Twi showing off her book collection to Rho, or maybe she is jamming to some tunes with Vinyl. I leave the decision up to you.  As long as Rho and a canon character are doing something together it qualifies.

Just as a quick note: I would prefer no NSFW. It can be saucy-ish if you want without like maybe some sort of wardrobe malfunction whilst visiting Rarity or something of that nature, but no full out NSFW please!

PRIZES! So I have decided to hand out only first place prices to two different categories.  The reasons are 1.) I don't know how many will participate and 2.) I don't want to be drawing prize art forever! =P  The categories are as follows: 

1. The Best of Show! This is where I am expected the better artists to be competing.  The deviation with the best vision, theme and execution will win this category. 
Prize: Free tickets to Disney World! A free full commission from me. (Includes multiple characters, color, everything [within reason].)

2. Most Improved Artist!  This category is a little more complicated, but it is designed to offer something to those who don't think their art is the best, but would still like a chance to win.  I have looked at a lot of my watchers' art and I know that there is a huge desire to improve.  Well, consider this to be your chance to do so!  The deviation that shows the greatest amount of improvement in comparison to the artist's past works will win this category. Just give this piece more dedication, time, and effort, - maybe a little research too! -  and I am confident that many of you will see a vast improvement.   

Please note: If you don't have any deviations posted in you galley, or only ones from a very very long time ago without any in between then I have no good way to judge your immediate improvement as an artist and you will not qualify for this category.  You will also be disqualified for this category if you decide to upload a bunch of cruddy pictures first then your one for the competition to make yourself look like you improved a bunch (I will be looking at the dates of submission). 

Prize: A brand new car! A free full, single character deviation from me. (color w/out background)

Deadline: I am making the deadline about a month from now, on the 22nd of March. That is 3/22/2014 at midnight! Meaning the moment the date changes from the 21st to the 22nd, the competition will be closed.

My polls indicated that a lot of people would be interested in competing.  I really do hope this is the case.  If you wanted another potential motivating factor, I will be posting links to the runner-ups' deviations in a journal announcing the winners as well as a list of links to all deviants that participated. Also if you want to post this competition to your journal to get more involved, please feel free.  I really want people to have fun with this and I want a good clean competition. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. 

Thank you all!
