And once again, there were dragons who were unsatisfied.

I can't even see what the new festival apparel and accents look like because I can't see any of these dragons clearly!" Orion complained loudly as he peered out at the world from behind his goggles. The Spiral beside him snickered.

Besides, not all of us Shadow dragons only stick to the shadows, and most of the dragons wearing all of these new festival things aren't even from Shadow flight!" Orion huffed. "I wish I could just get some of them closer, maybe all lined up neatly or something, so that I could just get a good look at 'em and see what dragons these days are wearing!" Nephthys thought for a moment and then smiled. "A-hah!" she exclaimed. "I know just the dragon we can ask to help us." She looped her way toward the lair, leaving a slightly confused Orion behind. Nephthys remembered the event last month that had apparently been instigated by Leyden's grumbling, so naturally she knew that it would be best to go ask Hyenn for help...

[center][size=5][b]The Old Dragon Collector's Association's Second Apparel Contest[/b][/size][/center] Hello, and welcome to the Old Dragon Collector Association's second apparel contest: The Murky Edition! The contest is now open for entries and will close at the end of [u]Thursday, March 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 Trickmurk Circus, we're looking for dragons dressed up with an murky/dark/shadowy 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://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=29678]benalene[/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 shadow-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 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 March 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! [*] For clarification, dragons can be any element! The only thing that kinda matters is age. [*] You may enter more than one dragon if you wish, but you can only win once. (Note: If for some reason there are a flood of entries, this may change.) [*] [i]I'll add more things here if there are more questions[/i]

[size=5][b]HOW TO ENTER[/b][/size] Please list: [LIST] [*] Your dragon's name and ID# [*] Your username and ID# [*] An image of your dragon (if the image you post is not a static image, please remember not to change apparel/accents in the middle of the contest!) [*] 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] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=57990] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/580/57990_350.png[/img] [/url] 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 [b]Accent:[/b] Stoneswept Arabesque (#7316) [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 the fifth post of this thread, 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=106005] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1061/106005_350.png[/img] [/url] Prospit, #106005, Shadow Gold/Storm/Leaf July 3rd, 2013 8 offspring, none unnamed Gen2, level 7 [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=368590] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/3686/368590_350.png[/img] [/url] Frawst, #368590, Arcane White/Silver Shimmer/Black August 16th, 2013 23 offspring, 5 unnamed Gen 2/3, level 25, was Pearlcatcher'd and Shimmer'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 Level 5 [/quote] [quote] [size=5][b]THE ITEMS[/b][/size] [center][item=tertiary gene: gembond] Gembond Scroll [item=Ornate Battle Armor] Ornate Battle Armor [/quote]

Come forth, my fellow oldie lovers! (I mean, if you wanna participate in the competition, that is. If not then that's totally cool, too.)

Ooh! okay.. hmm.. quick question.. do they HAVE to be a shadow dragon?

@Leetah43

Nope, they can be of any element! They just need to have been born by March 1st of 2014 or earlier

Awh, damn. All my dark-themed dragons are at least a few months away from being able to enter (Salem disappoints me the most, being born at the end of the target cut-off month *shakes fist*)



@Stormflight
If possible, could I get a ping whenever the contest closes? I can't participate, but I'd love to see all the dragons that get entered!

@Nicolas

Sure, I'll give you a ping when it closes!
