Remember to submit to the correct folder. This helps the STAFF out quite a bit ^_^

Absolutely no deviations with explicit/mature content (this is My Little Pony people)



Limits on pictures includes: 
Explicit/mature material
work in progress
self taken pictures (MySpace shots)
blurry or out of character shots
pictures you had nothing to do with (not a cosplayer, designer, or photographer)
all of your cosplay pictures ever! (we only need one or two of each, thank you ^_^)
the cosplay alone (just the pieces, no model)
shots that may be too close to tell WHO you are cosplaying,
for instance, is a vinyl scratch cosplay, however, you cannot tell because it is too close.
for most pony cosplays this will be applied even if your entire face, even shoulders are included, it is simply too difficult to tell who you are.


1 or 2 multiples of the same cosplay
questionable cosplay (possibly a tad revealing)

convention shoots
completed cosplay
your best work
clear and tasteful pictures
pictures you've taken
cosplay you've worn
cosplay you have made

Or have the picture taken by
YOU

Please have all cosplayers in the picture given credit in the description, and be sure to include the photographer and who made the cosplay* 
(*if it was not made by whomever is wearing it)



HOW TO CONDUCT YOURSELF WHILE IN THIS GROUP!

flame others cosplay, photography, props, ideas, opinions.
start arguments about anything (even who is best pony(
compare two cosplayers negatively (one is not better than the other people)

give constructive feedback on ways to improves ones cosplay, or photography
compare two cosplayers positively (what they have in common, making them each good cosplayers.)

HOW TO GET INTO FEATURED
high resolution pictures ONLY
Complete and High quality cosplay ONLY
(Yes even something SLIGHTLY off can ruin your chances)
Pleasing and fitting scenery
wear make-up (it can take a lot to look perfect)
convention shots (tasteful, in an area without visual background noise)
self taken photos
dingy photos (the contrast is bad)
con/public shots (there aren't humans in generation 4 at least, and there are certainly no show crossovers)
multishots (you CAN win a contest with one, we usually dislike them though, try to stick to a single shot)

The featured folder is only the best of the best of MLP cosplay, and in order to get in you must meet the near impossible standards...but I assure you...it is possible.
