Autumn / Fall Contest! - MORE PRIZES ADDED!Hey Plushkateers!
First of all, an apology for the former contest.
My honest opinion on the idea was that it would be a good opportunity to help someone out and beneficial to the winning plushie maker. You have argued that this is not the case and I am sorry, I only want my group to be happy. So two hours ago I made a poll for the NEW Oct/Nov contest.
So, the NEW contest will be Autumn / Fall themed. Plush something that YOU feel describes Autumn / Fall. It could be an animal, it could contain certain autumnal colours, it could be a plushie dressed in a raincoat and boots, it is up to you!
Wanna enter a plush, that's already in the group gallery? Click me!
RULES

Only those that fit the theme will be accepted.

You may use previously made plushies, you don't have to make one especially for this contest, but you may NOT enter with professional/store bought plushies, or anything that other people have made.

PE: Guidelines to Starting your Own Craft BusinessGuidelines to Starting your Own Crafting Business
So you make cute crafts, and probably someone offered you money for them. Maybe you need the money, and if you're like me, you need it to buy more crafting supplies. Whatever the reason, starting your own crafty business is a decisions that you should take seriously... it's not as easy as opening an Etsy account and setting some random prices for your work. There is a lot of things to consider to keep the business going, your money safe, your name clean, and your costumers happy.
By no means this is an absolute guide, merely a few guidelines of things I've found important or questions I get asked often by people interested in opening their own business. Most of this tips are intended for online selling, but they should apply for other ways of selling too. I will probably do more detailed guides in the future, as I learn more myself.
To begin with, don't forget to research as much as you can! If you're rea

Unicorn Reality's Toy Challenge.Have you ever had an awesome idea for a toy? Or have you ever wanted to see your OC in real life?
Well this could be your lucky day!

I am going to ask you to draw a quick design for a toy or a character or something you want made. It doesn't have to be massively detailed if you aren't the best drawer (like me) as you can write details on it, or if you are an amazing artist you can draw it wonderfully.
I have never made something from someone else's design so this is going to be fun for me too.
I will get Mother and Nev to pick the top three. (Unless they stress me then I'll just rope in someone like `Mollinda)
General Rule Type Things But Not Really Rules As I Am Cool Like That.

Unlimited entries.

You have until the 22nd October to submit your designs.

I will need to have your address if your design is chosen as the one I will be making. If you don't want me to have your address I will make the design, ph

The Royalty Contest [1 YEAR PREMIUM] CONTEST OVER!EDIT: Winners can choose to take points rather than premium, if you like, and you are welcome to have the prize given to a friend, if you would prefer.
~~The Royalty Contest~~

Hey guys!
It's fast-approaching Christmas, which is a time that a lot of people enjoy. In the spirit of things, we wanted to run a Christmas contest, but, by scanning over DeviantArt and other groups, we saw that, naturally, a lot of other groups had the same idea. We don't much fancy running a contest that's almost identical to other contests on DA – a simple Christmas-themed pony contest is something that you can take part in elsewhere. We also realised that, if we did do yet another Christmas pony contest, we'd likely see a lot of people submitting a single contest entry to several similarly-themed contests. It would be the natural thing to do, and so we wouldn't necessarily blame anyone if t
