This show has been judged.


I know with the holidays we have all been busy. I will allow a small extension this time.. happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Registration is OPEN
Entry Deadline is November 30th, 2015 December 4th, 2015


:pointr: All Extra Images are due the day before, the 29th. December 3rd.
:pointr: Entry Images can be submitted the day of judging, the 30th the 4th, but there is no set time when the judging will occur. So it is highly advised that you get your entry images in by the 29th the 3rd, or you risk not getting your entry submitted on time. As soon as judging begins, no further entries will be accepted.

:star::star:The Rules:star::star:
:bulletgreen: Tracing, Leasing, and Collabs are permitted.
:pointr: In the event of a Collab, please assign it so one person does the background. That makes judging easier for us, so we can judge the background vs one persons gallery. Be sure to mention who did what in a collab somewhere in your show info.
:bulletred: Do not re-use old art- the entry must have been made after the creation date of this journal. This goes for training/arrival/extra images, too.
:bulletred: Backgrounds must be drawn and yours. You may re-use them for multiple entries.
:bulletred: Register as many horses as you want so long as they qualify, and you can get your entries in on time.
:bulletred: Only horses registered with Thoroughbred-Society may enter.
:bulletred: You must register for the race/s you want to enter.
:bulletred: I may enter my own horses as well.
:bulletred: More than one horse may be entered through one image. Extra horses in the image must be divided up (For example, if you have 1 extra horse in your image it can only count towards one of your horses score). Separate stories must be written for each horse for them to count towards each horses score. Background will be judged the same towards both horses score.
The purses are divided so every horse who enters gets money. 62% for the first place finisher, 20% to the second, 10% to the third, 5% to the fourth, and 3% to the fifth and lower. However, if more or less horses enter than expected, the purse will be split differently than how it is set up now, to ensure that the full purse prize is distributed towards all of the entrants.

:star::star:The Judging:star::star:
+0-10 if followed rules (registration + entry forms properly filled out and included, art is new, registration number shown, etc -2 for every rule broken)
+3 if entry is head/bust shot
+5 if entry is partial body
+10 if entry is full body
+3 for partial rider shown
+5 for full rider/handler shown
+0-10 for correct background and for details in background
+5 for shading
+0-5 for story (1 point for every 100 words, max 500 words count towards score, though you may write more). We now allow fraction of points towards your score for your story. So if you write a 120 word story, you will get 1.2 points. If you write a 375 word story, you will get 3.75 points. The max is still 5.
+5 for including other horses in your entry (extra horses will not count if they are your own. Max 2 extra horses per entry, if the extra horses are not full body w/rider, they will count for +2 points each instead of +5. If the extra horses are shown as a small part of the body- head, nose, tail, etc, it is +1 instead of +5. If the extra horses registration number is not shown on either the horses saddle cloth or around the jockeys arm (in the case that the saddle cloth is not visible) -1.)
+5 for extra image (max 3 images, can be training, arrival, etc. If the extra image/s are not full body, they will count for +2 points each instead of +5. -1 point if there is no background. -1 point if it is not colored. +1 if extra image includes another horse from the show that is not yours.)
+0-50 for horses experience (+5 if they placed 1st, +4 if they placed 2nd, +3 if they placed 3rd, +2 for 4th, +1 for 5th. Must have been from an effort based flat race. Max 50 points- include proof on your entrys info, may be a mix of placings that add up to 50 points. This is a more important race, so experience matters a lot here!)
+1-15 RNG for performance (will livestream)
Points that will carry over to all of your entries:
+5 for advertising through Journal/Drawing Add/Poll (Advertisement must be made no later than the 14th of November)
+5 if you donate a prize or prizes
