Vendors and artists galore (hopefully)!

Hey everypony!

So The Con Guy (Nick) and Sage Charger (Steve) have been doing more work on getting this going! Right now we need every ponies help! We are looking to bring vendors and artists to the Calgary Bronycon! But, seeing as our cutie marks have nothing to do with art or making cool stuff, we need help in locating some! We need everypony to talk to friends and post in their various social networks about this! We want the con to be a vibrant place of fun and harmony! As such, we would like everypony to ask around to see if there are any vendors or artists who are pony-centric and who are willing to come and set up a table for the convention! The price is yet to be determined, but we are working on it! So, please do your best to ask around, because I'm sure all of the ponies attending would love to see the amazing pony artwork  and pony stuff in one place! So, again, please pass this on!

Hoping you all have a great day!

Sage Charger

Contest Legal Things

Hey everypony!

So, we've already received a few submissions for the contest! And while, this makes everypony judging super happy to hear, we unfortunately can't do anything with them. As per Hasbro, any likeness, cutie mark (any for the entire cast), or character is copyrighted property of Hasbro, Inc. However, we are in contact with their legal department to ask if any of the above can be used for a not-for-profit group. We will keep everypony updated for when we hear from them!

Have a great day ponies!

Calgary BronyCon Logo Contest!

Hello everypony! Thank you for entering the Calgary BronyCon logo contest! Of course, this contest has us judges all very excited! And, we hope that you are also excited... and if you weren't before, maybe the prizes for winning will make you excited! So, not to hold you in suspense too long, here are the prizes!

• First Place
• Two VIP tickets to the convention, an item autographed by Tara Strong (yet to be determined), and your work as the face of the con!
• Second Place
• One VIP ticket to the con, a Brony t-shirt in the winner's size, and one regular pass to the convention!
• Third Place
• A Mane Six bag, and two regular tickets to the con!

We have quite the rigorous judging panel, composed of Bronies and Non-Bronies alike! So, nopony will be left in the dust! Our judging panel will judge each entry on a numerical and objective basis! And on that note, I proudly present the other information: No entrants are involved in the judging process. Each category is labeled 1 through 5 in junction with the points, where 1 is the least possible score in the category, and 5 is the maximum. Therefore, there is a possible score of 20 for each entry and all entries are judged on this scale. Here are the categories:

AWESOMENESS

1. Cool, but not radical.
2. Radical, but not awesome.
3. Above average awesome for a pony work.
4. Amazing to look at.
5. Awesome by definition... it truly inspires awe!

REPRESENTATION

1. The only representation of the convention or Calgary is in the logo.
2. Contains minor elements from Calgary or Pony culture.
3. Uses both Calgary and Pony cultural elements in a way that ties together.
4. The image very easily represents both Calgary and the Bronies.
5. This entry captures the very essence of the spirit of Calgary and the spirit of Bronies in an integral way.

PROMOTION

1. The entry has no visible element promoting the convention.
2. The only indication of the convention is the logo.
3. Logo is evidently attempting to promote the convention in style and text.
4. The entry clearly promotes the cultural phenomenon associated with the convention.
5. The entry very easily depicts the cultural phenomenon and the brotherhood we would like tied to the convention.

CREATIVITY

1. The image has a simple idea and a lack of proper execution. Artistic elements within the logo are not cohesive and do not fit the theme of the convention.
2. The logo has the possibility to be unique and original but it does not live up to its potential. Also, the entry has a lack of execution.
3. The logo has an original idea but it does not have awesome execution.
4. The logo has an original and unique idea and above average execution. (Ehhhh. it needs to be about 20% cooler!)
5. The logo encompasses a completely original idea and has excellent execution. All of the elements present with the logo make a harmonious whole. It exemplifies what it means to be a Brony!

Well, here is where we thank everyone for their wonderful entries! We look forward to looking at every entry! All entries can be submitted to CalgaryBronyCon@gmail.com. *fangirl squeel*
