Country of Origin:

Colombia
Carnivale/Festivale Title: Feria de las Flores (Festival of the Flowers)
Explanation: Festival of the Flowers (Spanish: Feria de las Flores) is a festival that takes place in the Colombian city of Medellín. The festival is the most important social event for the city and features the Silleteros Parade (parade of Horses), a pageant, automobiles, a Paso Fino horse parade and many musical concerts.
Author's Note: I chose Colombia because I am Colombian. I chose these specific colours because Colombia's Flag is Yellow, Blue and Red. I am proud to be American-Colombian, and so, I prove my love through this avatar. P.S. - This avatar is a representation of me because I have two moles, one on each cheek. No seriously: You wanna see?

Carnival of Venice

country of origin-Venice, Italy
carnival title-carnival of Venice
explanation- This carnival started as a time for celebration and expression throughout the classes and by wearing masks the people hid the identity of their social class. The masks originally started out simple then later on became more decorated with things such as feathers and gems and so I did an avatar dressed with a lot of decor and detail to go with the theme

Carnival Origin:Italy
Carnival Title:Carnival of Venice
Description: Carnival in Venice

However much the modern Carnival may be contrived for tourists, it's undeniably atmospheric to walk down a lane in Venice and pass cloaked and masked figures. The tourist board and hotels urge their guests to participate by wearing at least a mask as they tour the town. It can be an exciting time for children, as long as the dehumanising masks don't scare them, and there are plenty of opportunities for fun. Young and old can admire the spectacle and select their favourite costumed characters, and there are plenty of opportunities to photograph your loved ones alongside dramatically-costumed carnival-goers. The city is very busy, particularly during the two Carnival weekends, and there is a genuinely festive atmosphere.

Carnival Origin:Romania
Carnival Title:Medieval Sighisoara
Description: Friday, July 23 in the Year of Our Lord 2010, after long and difficult battles, the Knights are returning home in the citadel of Sighisoara. Celebration will begin with a Grand Parade, composed of noble knights, princesses, actors, minstrels and craftsmen. Charters will be signed, weapons will be shaped, armors will be raised, and the Great Sacrifice Chariot will be built for the greatest victory of the Knights. The Citadel will host 13 Knight Orders together with bands of minstrels, which will seal in verse and song the acts of bravery of the Knights, and the actors will delight audiences with their tricks in a strictly medieval ambiance. For three days, the Knights will celebrate bringing joy to the viewers through tournaments and demonstrations, minstrels will give us joy by weighing, and flag dancers and drummers will show us movements of a ritual celebration. Historians and scribes came across the mountains of New Acropolis and will record stories about knights and their rituals of all the four winds of the world (Europe, India, America, Japan). The end will be a torchlight procession leaving the city in the hands of the mayor and swore that the citadel will never be leaved without a defense.

Hello there!

If I send the mule 1000 gold or more, does this mean I'll be able to partake in the games? Will my name immediately show up on the list?
