In honor of our brand new fresh start here at the MLPTP,
let's get started on the right foot with a classic photo hunt competition!

What is a photo hunt?

A photo hunt is an event where the organizers post a different photo challenge every week, to be completed by the competitors. Your photos will be judged on a few different criteria, such as completion of the theme, creativity, and WOW factor. Points will be awarded for each criteria. Bonus points may also be available.

Photo Hunt Rules:
Photo Editing:
- No photo editing of ANY kind!
You can crop, size, adjust lighting and sharpen the photo. Altering the photo is NOT acceptable! No photoshopping whatsoever! This includes color adjustment, smudging, blurring, adding or subtracting from the photo. You may not CHANGE the photo in any way. Making it ‘prettier’ is allowed, but do not change the photo into something it never was originally.

Official Hasbro Ponies Only:
- Any generation is welcome, but only official Hasbro MLPs should be used in the entries. (Sorry fakies, we love you, but stay out of our contest!)

Text:
- You may NOT add text to a photo! You are allowed to add one subject line only within your post.

No using existing photos:
- No posters, books, pictures or computer images accepted. Your photo must portray the real thing.
Example of not allowed: step requires a tree and you take a picture of a poster with a tree in it.
- If you are stuck and you must use an existing photo you will only be awarded sneaky points (50% credit).

Photo Requirements:
- All photos must be saved in .JPG form.
- Size smaller than 100k
To find photo size: Right-click on the photo and check its properties
- Maximum pixel size is 500px.

Photo Hosts:
- You must have your photos hosted somewhere on the internet. You can create an album here at the TP or use external hosting such as Photobucket.

Time:
- You must post your photo before deadline or your assignment entry will not be accepted. Please note that all times listed are in EST, or Eastern Standard Time.

Content:
- All content should fit within the parameters of the site rules.

No Changing Entries:
- Once you post your entry do NOT change it. The mods will be watching all entries and if it is discovered that you have changed your photo, your entry will be disqualified.


Judging:
- Your photos will be judged in 3 different categories:
  • Completion of the theme -- How accurately did you complete the assignment? 6 points
  • Creativity -- How creative were you in staging your photo? 6 points
  • WOW factor -- How much effort and what lengths did you go to? 6 points

I'm so excited to be hosting this photo hunt! These are always my favorite games on our board. I really hope you will all be brave and jump in with both hooves!

Sign up now and come have some pony fun that is sure to be 20% cooler than whatever it is you're doing right now!
 
I can't wait to start. It'll be nice to have a little bit of fun mixed in with all the stress that's going on around here at the moment.
