We are pleased to announce a resurrection of a competition we first ran a few years ago and proved popular - Craft-a-piggy!
In this competition we want to see members showcase their skills and creativity by crafting their own guinea pig(s).
This is not a photography competition but the type of craft you can use is up to you, some examples are:
knitting
crochet
sewing
drawing
painting
needle felting
metal/wire work
pottery
woodwork
embroidery
quilting
papier-mache
model-making
The list is almost endless!
We are running this competition in support of @The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue . We have a suggested donation of 50p per entry (See post #2 for details of how to make a donation). As with our Halloween competition, with the current cost of living crisis, we strongly encourage a donation to be made to the rescue but will not be checking up on this and will not be preventing members from entering if they are unable to make a donation. Details of how to make a donation in the first post.
How to Enter and How it works....
1. Submit a photo of your creation to this thread which will be open until 20:00 hrs on Sunday 18th December 2022 GMT.
2. All Photos will be added to a Craft A Piggy page shortly after the closing date where all members will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite.
3. Voting will take place week commencing 19th December 2022.
4. In the interests of good sportsmanship please do not vote for your own entry. We cannot prevent this but hope that fair play will win the day.
The winner of the competition will:
1. Win an awesome prize! (See post #3 - subject to geographical location and postage costs)
2. Have their artwork featured on The Guinea Pig Forum social media pages.
3. Have their 'User Title" for the rest of December and January as "Craft A Piggy Comp Winner!"
4. Have bragging rights over all others on the forum.
5. Have the photo of their winning creation go into a sticky thread in the Stories & Photo's section for everyone to see and the forum gallery.
Now for the boring bit... the rules:
1. The artwork uploaded must be your own creation. No taking photos off of the internet please, let's not ruin the spirit of the competition. Anyone caught breaking this rule will be disqualified from any further entries.
2. One creation per photograph. All entries should be photographed individually so it is clear in voting rounds which item members are voting on.
3. One photograph per entry please.
4. No photography based entries. Whilst we appreciate photography is art we would like to separate this competition from our photo based competitions.
5. Any entries into this competition will be made with the acceptance that you are granting theguineapigforum.co.uk permission to use and publish your image on any of our associated social media pages. We may also use your photo in print in any future article in the Guinea Pig Magazine and any promotional event we attend. By entering this competition you are acknowledging our rights to use your photo. If you do not agree with this then please do not enter.
Any pictures not complying with these rules will be removed from the thread.
Please keep all photos of your out-takes and works in progress as we would love to see these and will be starting another thread to share these images.
Happy posting and looking forward to seeing your creations.
