The the following changes will take effect for the skin contest: [LIST] [*][b]2 additional slots[/b] will be added for exclusively for [b]hatchling skins[/b]. [LIST] [*]These skins will be purchased through festive favors, and will not appear in the gathering or coliseum chests, ensuring that players who don’t want a hatchling skin will not receive one in lieu of a dragon skin. [/LIST] [*][b]2 additional slots[/b] will be added for [b]dragon skins[/b], bringing the total slots for dragon skins to 18 adult winners (up from 16). [LIST] [*]One of these slots will go to an additional chest that drops from gathering/coliseum, bringing the total amount of chests per festival to 8 (up from 7) [/LIST] [*]Artists may submit up to 2 dragon entries (same) and one hatchling entry for a maximum allowed [b]total of 3 entries[/b].
