The MLPTP's Pony Business Contest - WINNERS ANNOUNCED (page 5)

How does this work?
You might remember how much fun we had with the MLPTP's Pony Street Contest! Well, this is the same idea, but instead of street names, we are looking for businesses!

The contest will run until April 15th. All you have to do to enter is post pictures of *real* businesses that match a MLP name.
The pictures must be taken by YOU (so, don't think about googling them and using someone else's pictures).
Preferrably, you will take the picture of the business/store with a pony standing by/on it.
That will be extra proof that you are taking the photo. If you don't get a chance to get a pony by it, we will examine the photo closely.
No cheating here!
The pony you take a picture of by the business sign does not have to match the name of the store. Any pony will do.
Pony friend names are more than welcome too.

There are some rules for pony names. For name that are complex, we will accept only the "basic" part of a name. For example:

Baby Bellaluna -> We will NOT take "Baby Cafe", but we WILL take "Bellaluna's Diner"

Same thing applies to other complex names.

I reserve the right to reject any photo entries if deemed invalid.

There will be 2 opportunities to win:
1. Whoever submits *the most* pictures.
2. People's choice. Everyone will vote on their favorite picture (for people's choice, whoever submits more than one photo must choose only one pic to enter in the voter's drawing).

Please post your entries on this thread

Prizes:
FIRST PRIZE : 1 custom metal sign with your choice of words (character limit here) and $10 in ponies
PEOPLE'S CHOICE PRIZE: 1 custom street sign with your choice of words (character limit here) and $5 in ponies

Hope you guys have fun, and post here if you have any questions.

It would not... "Frosting" would though.

Ooh! Back during the street sign contest I was sad because I had the perfect sign only it was a business not a street sign! So I'll get to use it after all! Yay!

Does creative spelling count? We have a catering place here called "Nibblez." It's like people can't use S's anymore or something, geez!

Lol, I figured as much PT. I've found a couple places through google (and actually ended up behind a suburban advertising their business "braiding twist extensions") but... now I'm thinking I'm going to sit this contest out. My bank account cannot handle the unnecessary gas guzzling lol.

That would be acceptable, as long as the word is the same, if you know what I mean... so... Nibblez would be fine, but something like... Nibblette (because that would clearly be a great business name) wouldn't.
