(matope) - winter 2018 giftbox event - FINISHED!

[Matope]

Welcome to the Matope Winter 2018 Gift Box Event!
The theme of this event is a familiar one for thread regulars; gift boxes, which you can keep or give to friends as 'grams', and which can be exchanged for semi-customs!

There are exactly 120 boxes/bags to be given out in this event, each of which corresponds to a semi-custom kin or pet!

If you're unfamiliar with the shop, click the image above to head over to the main thread and read up about the world of Matope and the Kimeti that inhabit it. It is especially important that you read up on the naming conventions for the world, as they are very specific, and if you do not know the rules than you might be excluded or disqualified from certain events.

This event will begin December 15th and end January 6th.

NOTE: All contests and events end at 11:59pm EST unless otherwise noted.

For the length of this event, we're selling small accessories that can be added to any existing kin in this thread in the guild.

Purchases will be open at all times, with no maximum number of accessories to be purchased -- except that you can only post for one per post, and you can only post once per kin.

More information can be found in the Accessory Purchasing Thread.

Each weekend during this event, starting Saturday morning and ending Sunday at 10pm EST, we will flaffle off 1 fancy gift box, 10 regular gift boxes, and 10 gift bags in this thread in the guild.

These gift boxes will be free but must be given away -- these are our 'grams' for winter 2018. You will be able to specify who you wish to send them to [not yourself!] and the recipent will be able to redeem them for a semi-custom from the corresponding colorist in this thread!

More information can be found in the Gram Flaffle thread in the guild.

The first contest in the event, starting December 15th and ending December 18th at 11:59pm EST, will give away 1 fancy box, 2 regular boxes, and 3 giftbags -- and all you have to do is decorate an ornament however you'd like!

You can enter this contest up to three (3) times!

Using either the .psd shaded template ornament or the simple-outline ornament below, use any method you like to decorate it and make it beautiful, either on the computer or by printing it out on paper and adding details via hand with traditional mediums. Our only request is that whatever you post be no bigger than 700px wide.

On the .psd template, feel free to change the base color of the ornament, the highlight color, the shading color, the topper color -- anything you'd like, in addition to drawing new shapes and designs on new layers, and anything else you desire.

Click the small images below for the larger version / templated version.


The winners of these boxes and bags will be able to either keep them or send them to friends. At the end of the event, these boxes will open to reveal semi-custom kin or pets by the colorists in question!

Each entry you submit will correspond to a ticket in a raffle. We may give a second ticket for any entry we particularly like. We are not asking for pref lists for these boxes/bags; instead, they will be rolled in order.

To submit your entry, please use the following code.

[color=green][size=20][b]ADD MY ORNAMENT TO THE TREE![/b][/size][/color]

The next contest in the event, starting December 26th and ending December 28th at 11:59pm EST, will give away 1 fancy box, 2 regular boxes, and 3 giftbags -- and all you have to do is make a simple snowflake at Paper Snowflake Maker!

You can enter this contest up to five (5) times!

Use the simple interface at Paper Snowflake Maker to cut out shapes and create a snowflake. Hit "preview flake" and then take a screencap of your snowflake and upload that to imgur [or any other image hosting!] It'd be awesome if you cropped down, too, but if you don't know how, that's okay.

The Russian Roulette will be rolled at some point on January 1st, and will give away 1 fancy box, 2 regular boxes, and 3 giftbags!

The final contest in the event, starting January 2nd and ending January 6th at 11:59pm EST, will give away 1 fancy box, 2 regular boxes, and 3 giftbags -- and all you have to do is write up a silly limerick about New Years resolutions!

You can enter this contest up to five (5) times!

What is a limerick? A limerick is a humorous poem consisting of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. You can find more examples/information here.

Don't worry, though -- we'll be a bit flexible with what we accept as limericks, so long as they more or less fit the format!
