Welcome to: Don't Be A Grinch! A Christmas Charity Ball!
We appreciate you stopping in and taking a look at our event. Please read through our FAQ. It is very important. It will give you the answers to all of the questions that you might have. Please read through the rules and every other post as well. We are offering alot of really good prizes to go alongside our contests and games. Thanks for stopping in!

Explanation of a "Charity Ball" and how it all works!:

A Charity Ball is a group of user's trying to raise funds for a couple of Charities on gaia. We have hand selected three Charities to donate to that are active and actually donate to their member's! So we sell tickets for 150g each. That ticket is a very small fee that cover's your admission to be able to participate in our games and contests. So, what else do you get out of this? A door prize! And a door prize is worth more than the ticket. So where do we get the gold from? We get that gold from donation's from you! You don't have to donate, and please don't feel obligated to. But, that is what help's to fund door prizes, contest/game prizes. And once all door prizes and contest/game prizes are given out, the rest of the funds go straight to the charities so they can continue passing out donations to those in need. That my friends is what a Charity Ball is all about. heart It is all about helping the Charities. The rest of it is just to keep you busy. wink And to show our appreciation for helping out in such a wonderful way! Please read our F.A.Q. It tells you where to send trades and for how much. 3nodding

More Rules to be added as necessary.

A: Because at least once in your life we hope that your in the Jolly Spirit of Giving Back to the Charities on Gaia that have helped users on this site get a bit of help when in need. Have you ever been donated to? Doesn't it put a huge smile on your face when someone hands you there hard earned work for free? Wouldn't you like to see that happen to someone else? Of course! That's what happends when charities have the funds to do so! And that's what this ball is all about! Giving back to the charities!

10. Q: Do I have to donate?
A: No! You are not expected to donate at all. It would be appreciative and very helpful if you did.

We just want user's to understand what the donation's are for, and why they are important when we do get them.

Contest 2: Tek Tek Contest!
You can tektek just one avatar, or all 5 of our avatar's. We will each choose our own winner of our own avatar. So that allow's up to 5 different users to win, unless of course one user win's the heart of more than one of us. So give it your best shot! Don't change our hair, eyes, or skin. You can make the avatar's into whatever you want. Just be a bit reasonable please. Send all entries to the Charity Ball Mule: Grin Is Noggin. You will have until December 1st to submit your entries. Winner will be chosen the day of the ball.

Prize's:
Each of our own favorite TekTek's will win 25k each. So you can win once, twice, three, four, or five times depending on how good your tektek's are. So you can win anywhere from 25k-125k.




Contest 3: Referal Contest!
This contest is easy. Whomever has refered the most users into purchasing tickets by Dec 8th win's the contest. For each person you refer, they must purchase their ticket, then they must pm: Bonnie Taylor Shakedown immediately with your username as the referee and the time and date of their trade. On the day of the ball the winner with the most referal's will be announced.

Prize:
20k Pure.




Contest 4: Christmas Blinkie Contest!
This contest is basically a contest that knocks out two birds with one stone. We wanted more than just a couple of contests, and we wanted to have some freebie images to allow members to snag the day of the ball. And hence, that is where this contest comes into play. Basically you need to create an original christmas blinkie. The work submitted must be your own creation completely. It can say anything you want it to. Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday's, ect ect. You have until December 1st to submit your blinkie's to the Charity Ball mule account: Grin Is Noggin. The winner will be announced the day of the ball. And every blinkie submitted will be up for grabs for all user's to use. So if you don't want your work to become a freebie, please don't submit a blinkie.

Prize:
15k Pure.




Contest 5: Raffle!
Every user whom purchases a ticket is automatically entered into this contest. On the day of the ball we will do a gaia random number generator between the first ticket number(excluding the first 5 ticket numbers as they are the tickets to the ball hosts)to the last ticket number purchased. The raffle will be done on the day of the ball.

Prize:
25k Pure.




Contest 6: Random Page Winner's!
This contest is always an easy one. Except, you cannot bump your way to the page's. And your posts must remain on topic with everyone else your chatting with. This is to help keep spam out of the thread. We love to do random page winners, but we all know how quickly pages move due to members wanting to be first on such and such page to win the prize. So as long as you remain on topic. You can win. You also must have been posting for the entire 7 pages before the random page in order to win. This help's prevent those that like to all of a sudden pop in. Which is not fair to those who were actually there participating fairly. If you "pop" in, then the next person to post will win instead. For this contest it is the first poster on whichever page we are working on getting to.

Winning Page's and Prize's:
Page 50: Snowman Suit.
Page 100: Reindeer Suit.
Page 150: Elf Suit.
(More pages/prizes to be added as needed.)

In order to participate in our Contests you must purchase a ticket to this ball event. 3nodding


Okayy....So the contests are done in a point system. We are offering three different contests that will be randomly done throughout now until the end of the ball. The contests work on a point system where once you have accumulated 5 pts you get a prize. You can wait to accumulate 15 Pt's for a better prize. But the pts cannot be used more than once. All of the three games pts you win can be combined. And you must use a form to keep track of your pts you have won and the page link you won it on.



Contest 1: Quote Game!
Basically what you do is, one of the ball host's will post an image or a word or a saying, and the first person to quote our post win's a pt. Pretty Simple!



Contest 2: Bring Me Faster Game!
With this game, one of the ball hosts will post something along the lines of..." Bring me a ________." And the first user to go to google, snag an image and post it win's! So if I said, "Bring me a cupcake!" First person to post an image of a cupcake win's a point!



Contest 3: Scavenger Hunt!
This game is the easiest to understand. One of the ball host's will post an image. And then the user's must go find that same image somewhere else in the topic. And the first person to pm that ball host the page link and post number wins the point!


Prize's:
5 Pt's: 5k Pure
15 Pt's: Monthly Collectible for December!



Here is the Form to save and fill out as you start winning point's! In order to claim your prizes your information must be accurate. We will double check. If you cheat, you will be kicked out of topic and reported immediately.


Username: Your Name Here.
1st Link- These links should be the links of the pg's you won on.
2nd Link-
3rd Link-
4th Link-
5th Link-
(And if you decide to wait to 15 pts, just add in 10 more links.)

Hello! Calling all artists! We need artists to do freebie avatar artwork on the day of the ball. You are required to be there the day of the ball, and you are required to draw at least one piece of artwork. Please send PremiumHeart a pm if you want to be added to the list of artists in this post.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Now, what you are required to draw is a headshot of a user's avatar. Throughout the time of selling ticket's, we will be randomly raffling ticket numbers to receive freebie art the day of the ball. We will tell you the day before whom you are drawing, and you must present it in topic the day of the ball. Every user whom participates in drawing free avatar art will get 5k. Your art must be somewhat decent. So when you send PremiumHeart a pm, please show a sample headshot aswell. We do this because it's not fair to give a user 5k for a 2min stick figure headshot as opposed to sending it to someone who spent more than 10 min or longer on there's. So we hope you can undertsand. Thanks to all who help out! We truly appreciate your givingness. heart
