Welcome to the 4th Annual Irish Jubilee! DryGulchRanch is pleased to host the Jubilee once again this year of 2015, and we can't wait to see what fabulous horses will be coming to strut their stuff and show off their talents. This is St. Patrick's Day!
Class: Halter
This year we continue our halter tradition. Bring your horse and showcase him/her in a bridle or halter. The tack must be Irish themed; whether with giant sparkly shamrocks or subtle gold Celtic designs, the tack must bring the St. Pattie's Day spirit! Horses are are also welcome to be decorated with glitter and other Irish-inspired elements too.
Sub Classes:
Best Halter Audience Choice Best StoryRules
Tracing and gridding is allowed! Linearts are not allowed. Traditional and digital mediums are allowed! References used should be listed in the artist comments. MUST have a bridle or halter on your horse! Can be a headshot to quarter body showing chest and withers, try not to have much more body than this. Background is NOT required, but could earn you brownie points! The arena will be outdoors in a minimally marked dressage arena (no letters, step-over white fence). Big fields and pastures under a bright sunny day are your backdrop! Do add a link to my show in your entry's Artist Comments. You can write a story in the artist comments. Add a song to your story and the story will be entered into the optional Best Story sub class! Send your entry in via Comment to this journal! Both realistic and fantasy breeds allowed!Due Dates
Show is open from now until midnight 12 a.m. Sunday, March 22, 2015, Central time USA, UTC/GMT -6 hours. No pre-registration required!Judging
The Grand and Reserve Champion places will be judged entirely by MissDudette, and my sis TheOnlyBean! This means give us your best shot, because we wan'na see gorgeous work. That doesn't mean perfect anatomy stuff though, just make it beautiful!
After we judge Grand and Reserve Champions, the remaining entries will judged for 1st place on down to 3rd place. Criteria for these 3 will be based on overall gorgeousness/creativity. Give us everything you've got, or give us something so weird we're too flabbergasted not to give you 1st place!
We'll also award a prize for Best Halter and Best Story. These will be also judged on sheer epicness by Bean and me. Best Story entries MUST include a song!
Audience Choice will be judged via polls. Each poll will have 10 entries, and the top winners of each semi-finalist poll after 24 hours of voting will face off in a finalist poll. After another 24 hours, the top vote will be the winner!
MissDudette and TheOnlyBean reserve the right to award the same entry for multiple classes, or only allow a different entry to win each class.
