Not everyone was happy about the wide variety of new styles, however. [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=52401] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/525/52401_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] "Hmph! What's with all these new flashy accents and apparel?" grumbled an old Wildclaw as he watched some of his younger clanmates prancing about. He shook his head disdainfully, drawing his scarf tighter around his neck. "So flashy with no regard to taste or sensibility whatsoever! Why, back in [i]my[/i] day--" "Now, now, Leyden. No need to criticize what's new just because it's different," chided Hyenn, one of his fellow elders. "Unlike you, some of us actually enjoy wearing more apparel and perhaps a skin or an accent, too." She ruffled her wings to accentuate her point. [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=51721] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/518/51721_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] "Fine, but you'll have to show me some fairly well-dressed dragons for me to change my mind. New things are fine and dandy, but these days they just don't seem to make 'em like they used to..." he trailed off mumbling and staring off into the distance. Hyenn considered his proposition. She enjoyed challenges, and getting Leyden to warm up to [i]anything[/i] new was certainly a challenge. But how to find the best dressed dragons in all of Sornieth...? An idea suddenly struck her. Grinning, she left the old man to his mumbling and went to pay a visit to the ODCA...

[center][size=5][b]The Old Dragon Collector's Association's First Apparel Contest[/b][/size][/center] Hello, and welcome to the Old Dragon Collector Association's first ever apparel contest: The Frigid Edition! The contest is open for entries on [u]Sunday, February 1st[/u] and will close at the end of the day [u]Thursday, February 5th[/u] (so at 23:59 FR time). The judges will take time to score each contestant, and then we will announce the winners either the [u]Saturday the 7th or the Sunday the 8th[/u] depending on the number of entries and the judges' individual schedules. Since this is following the conclusion of the Crystalline Gala, we're looking for dragons dressed up with an icy/snowy/wintery feel in mind! The judges ([url=http://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/350]BotanyBlack[/url], [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/58365]cooneyms[/url], and [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/13824]yours truly[/url]) will be judging based on 6 criteria (in no particular order): [LIST=1] [*] [b]fit to theme[/b] – After all, this [i]is[/i] a winter-themed contest! [*] [b]outfit coordination[/b] – While fashion disasters are hilarious, they have their place (which isn’t here) [*] [b]originality/creativity[/b] – Creativity is important, and sometimes the seemingly unconventional approach is the once that wins people over [*] [b]apparel layering[/b] – We wanna see you masterfully layer that apparel and make your dragon look snazzy [*] [b]simple vs. overdone[/b] – That being said, things shouldn’t be [i]so[/i] over-the-top that they’re borderline ridiculous, ne? [*] [b]character (writing) [/b] – Feel free to write a short 2-5 sentence blurb perhaps regarding why you chose the apparel you did or describing your dragon’s character; it can be in prose, poem, RP format from the dragon’s perspective or otherwise, any way you want! [/LIST] [size=4][color=red][b][u]IMPORTANT NOTES:[/u][/b][/color][/size] [list] [*] Since this [i]is[/i] and ODCA event, there will be an age restriction for entries. Dragons entered into the contest must have been [b]born on February 1st of 2014 or earlier[/b] (in other words, [b]they should be at least one year old[/b]) [*] Accents are allowed, but [b]skins are a no-no[/b] for this contest! [*] (I'll add more things here if there are more questions)

[size=5][b]HOW TO ENTER[/b][/size] Please list: [LIST] [*] Your dragon's name [*] Their ID# [*] Your username and ID# [*] A [i]static[/i] image of your dragon (so NOT a linked image that would change if you forgot about the contest and accidentally changed the apparel in the middle of judging--you know, better yet, just remember to not change your apparel after you enter :P ) [*] A list of the names of the apparel items the dragon is wearing [*] The name (and number) of the accent the dragon is wearing (if applicable) [*] And a short little blurb for the Character aspect of the contest [/LIST] It doesn't have to look exactly like this, but here's an example entry just in case you needed one~ [quote=Example Entry] [img]http://i1349.photobucket.com/albums/p743/yumehisakawa/Kamal_zpsfe4d1e06.png[/img] Kamal (#57990) owned by Stormflight (#13824) [b]Apparel:[/b] Companion Comet, Pink Highnoon Hank, Red Fedora, Raider Helm, Whisperer's Cowl, Violet Deepsea Bulb, Sunguard Chest, Scarlet Satin Tunic, Chestnut Feathered Wings, Magmatic Pauldrons, Dented Iron Tail Cuffs [center][i]Kamal's fashion sense is too divine for mere mortals to understand. Kneel before him and weep, you peasants![/i][/center] [/quote] [size=2]Sidenote: [i]Please[/i] don't let your dragons emulate Kamal when they get dressed up...[/size] I will be keeping track of entries in [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IA7rBI6C4LcRT8xpQiDe2zxYXh3JcKCxvRArZuYzqAg/edit?usp=sharing]this GoogleDoc[/url], but please forgive me if I don't update it right away! (It's kinda annoying how our time playing FR is always interrupted by those pesky IRL things, isn't it? XD )

[center][size=5][b]PRIZES[/b][/size][/center] Should you win, we have several prizes for you to choose from! [b]Clarification:[/b] Though there are [u][i]5 prizes[/i][/u] listed here, there will only be [u][i]3 winners[/i][/u]. The reason there are more prizes than winners is so each winner has a chance to choose what they want instead of feeling like they just get whatever's left over. ^_^ [quote] [size=5][b]THE DRAGONS[/b][/size] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=83824] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/839/83824_350.png[/img] [/url] Lord, #83824, Wind Sky Clown/Platinum Seraph/Leaf June 29th, 2013 23 offspring, 15 unnamed Gen2, was Clown'd and Seraph'd [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=285498] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/2855/285498_350.png[/img] [/url] Yilin, #285498, Ice Obsidian Iridescent/Platinum Shimmer/Stonewash Gembond July 31st, 2013 21 offspring, 2 unnamed (but in an active lair) Gen 3/4, was Skydancer'd, Iridescent'd, and Gembond'd [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=581917] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/5820/581917_350.png[/img] [/url] Wynnrift, #581917, Ice Stonewash Tiger/Leaf Stripes/Jungle September 7th, 2013 4 offspring, all named [/quote] [quote] [size=5][b]THE ITEMS[/b][/size] [center][item=Wise Whiskers] Wise Whiskers [item=Ornate Battle Armor] Ornate Battle Armor [/quote]

Alright, guys, this is it! The January event you've been waiting for! If you've been dressing up some of your oldies and want to show off their wintery-themed outfits while also getting a shot at earning some pretty neat prizes, then this is the event for you! Whether you enter or not, though, this is a fun way to see what others have done with their oldies.

Good luck to those who decide to enter, and keep hoarding saving those elders, my friends.

@Rogue

awesome! I'll be back. >.>

(@Stormflight your signature is hilarious btw xD)

@Rogue

I'm excited to see what you and other people come up with! :D

(Teehee, thanks! I got it from PoisonedPaper, the same user who made the banner for this contest.)

Yay! I'm really excited for this contest! If I have time I can level up Wynnrift a bit for the winner. :)
