1. Sign-ups are opening TODAY in order for people to sign up and start collecting money and resources. All individuals and teams have until 2/6 to enter the contest, and on 2/7 training will begin!

There will be a 10 mill HPD entrance fee for all NON-TICKET entries, and a 50 mill HPD entrance fee for all TICKETED entries. This entrance fee will help go towards the final prizes for the winners. This is an entrance fee per animal, not per player entrant!

2. You can enter in 4 categories:
1. Horse (tickets & shows)
2. Horse (no tickets & shows)
3. Dog (tickets & shows)
4. Dog (no tickets & shows).

You can enter one animal in each of the categories, if you so choose.

3. Everyone must start with a "store aged" animal (3 for horses, 2 for dogs). This can be from the actual store (or cash shop) or it can have lines. We can age-forward a newborn for you, if it needs to be done!

If your animal has lines we will subtract the "born points" from your final score. HOWEVER, the cannot gain any points between being born and the contest starting.

4. The tickets and shows categories can use any means possible to gain points. The no tickets and shows category cannot use Training Tickets, Private Shows, or Extra Energy (from store or cash shop). All animals can use points won in other HP contests or events.

5. Each animal must be named before the contest starts and have a unique image and a back-story before it ends.

6. You cannot de-age your animal during this contest.

REMEMBER:

1. Since part of your score is popular vote, it will be a good idea to “advertise” your animal so that you can get the popular vote.

2. You can get money from your personal banks, but will also have three weeks from now until the contest begins to raise money and resources.

3. We need at least 3 people/groups/animals in each category for the contest to run!

4. The contest will be judged as follows:

- 40% Points earned during contest

- 10% Best Name (by vote)

- 20% Best Picture/Picture Creativeness (by vote)

- 20% Best Backstory (by vote)

- 10% Overall Most Popular (by vote)

5. There will be mini-events for mascots during the contest in order to earn points and other power-ups, and there will also be weekly point check-ins. All due dates will be posted in the offical calendar.

Do we need to message the ids before we can start training them?!

We will message you today if you're signed up! :).

Yay!
This is going to be fun! :D

Yay!!

Soooo never got a message?!

We never got a message either on account 41403.

Just to clarify, in the Horse No Tickets/Shows only category can we enter the horse in Club shows? Sorry if this has been asked before, I just want to make sure!

Yes you can Etoile!

In regards to the Paint Syndicate msg, it came to my main since that's where I'd posted from (oops) so we did indeed get a msg!

Is there a list of all the entries yet?!

"If your animal has lines we will subtract the "born points" from your final score. HOWEVER, the cannot gain any points between being born and the contest starting."

I noticed that at least two of the entries have "born with" points still on them. Was that rule changed? O_o

^ The born with points just get subtracted from the final points, they are not removed from the animal. (at least thats how I understood it.)

Edit:

per the bottom of the news post:

All points include "born with" points. These will be subtracted from the final total, at the end of the contest.

★ Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating★

Ohhhhhhhh! Thanks, Teran! Haha! *facepalm*

 What Tera said. Its easier that way, plus we dont want to "remove" the points completly - just from the competition :D
