Color Those Foals! Contest

The contest has ended! We raised $16 in entry fees for MHFC. The foals will be painted and put up for benefit auction as soon as they're finished. Please bookmark this page for updates on the foals and their auctions.

Below are the winners of this great contest:

Color Those Foals! Contest – October 2007 – Results

A huge thank you to everyone who entered. I got some awesome entries, and it was obvious that everyone spent a lot of time on their ideas. I would've loved to paint almost all the designs, they're all fantastic. I'm just sorry I can't let you all win. Sorry I couldn't post the winning pictures, or all of the pictures, but due to a recent large amount of 'artists' admitting they cruise other artist's websites for ideas I didn't want anyone's idea to be stolen.

Winners, you get either a free repainting certificate for any size/color OR you can have your design painted on the body of your choice (any size, but you have to provide the body).

And…because there were so many cool runners up and it was so hard to choose….Runners up, if you want I will paint a stablemate sized model with your design for you (you must provide the body).

Please email me at: vnvstables@yahoo.com to let me know what you want, winners, and runners up let me know if you want to take advantage of me painting your design for you. Thank you all for entering, it was great seeing your ideas. I will get to work painting the running foals. If you'd like to be notified when the running foals go up for auction please let me know.
