The show is open to anyone, regardless of location and you can enter in lots of different ways. The easiest way to enter is to upload your photos into the relevant albums on the Facebook group but you can also enter via Instagram, Email or Post. This means that literally anyone can enter, you don't even need a computer!
For full details of how to enter please see the website here:

There are no individual class entry limits on this show but there is a maximum of 50 entries. The nice thing is that this suits all types of showers, if you have a really specialist collection you can still do the same number of entries as someone who has a more diverse collection. But with well over 100 classes you'll have to think carefully about who to enter!
What Kind of Photos Can I Enter?
Someone asked me this on Instagram and the real answer is any. But your photos need to be clear and show off your model. You can use a light tent or similar or you can set up a realistic background shot like the one below. But is the one below clear? Do you think the model really pops? These are some good things to think about when you are taking your pictures.
If you use props etc. make sure they are in scale with your model and don't distract. Scale is particularly important when it comes to performance entries.
What Will I Win?
There will be printable certificates for placings and champions.
Section & supreme champions will also get rosettes made by the amazing Inspirations Rosettes
Anyone who gets a rosette will also get a Mini Whinnie Surprise Bag.
I have also been completely taken aback by people randomly offering to donate prizes! So there are also going to be some really awesome prizes available :)
How Long Have I Got?
You will have until the 12th of July to enter! So please get on and enter as soon as possible. I don't want people forgetting!
Who Will be Judging?
I will be judging the whole show. Because I am a masochist.
I look forward to seeing everyone's entries, and remember the most important part is to HAVE FUN!
When the photos are being sent in by email, one of the pieces of information required is "Finish". Does this mean I mark them "Original Finish", "Custom", etc.?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the photo show! It will be fun!
Yes finish refers to the finish of the model, so whether it is OF, CM, AR etc.
DeleteOh, I'm definitely going to enter this again! I remember how fascinatingly, excruciatingly difficult it was narrowing it down to fifty entries, deciding what classes to go for and which horses to leave out, so much swapping and changing and saying sorry to the ones I kicked out to fit somebody else instead, hahah
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely not an easy task to narrow it down! Good luck and I look forward to seeing your entries :)
