For anything else that inspires you and doesn't fit one of the above categories.Get Community Feedback & Category Suggestions. DONEPossible Final Vote on the most requested Categories. NOT NEEDED- Contest Open February 9th
- Contest Closes April 5th, 7pm EST time
- Close Entries, Pre-Vote Sort. I pick the Top 10 entries that meet each category. Estimated April 6-7th.
- Voting Begins on Forum, Google Docs, and Facebook. Estimated April 8th and closes April 12th.
- Tentative Winners posted April 13th, pending Ammits approval.
- Purchase the Tokens for the Tack Pack, and submit images to Ammit for feed back.
- All backdrop images must be 500x500 pixels and saved in .png format.
- Images must be create by you, using your drawing aid or medium of choice. This includes AI, but excludes Stock Images.
- Images need to fit the feel of the game, and should not resemble a photo.
- Horses need space to stand. Use the Rule of Thirds to help understand image composition. There needs to be a minimum of 100 pixels of clear ground for the horse to stand on.
- Images need to be high resolution and should not be grainy.
- Ammit has the final say in what is added to the game.
I'm sponsoring a Tack Pack of 10 Backgrounds, or more depending on participation (up to $100). A Tack Pack is currently $50 for 10 items, and $25 for every 10 after that.I will probably do a Pre-Vote selection to pick the best representations of that Category. Players will then have multiple ways of voting on images. Ammit will have the final say in what images will be uploaded.- You can vote by interacting with the forum post and "Thanking" the artist.
- At the time of Voting I will upload a Google Forum so you can cast your vote.
- I will be uploading images to the H&J Facebook, and you can vote for your favorite image by reacting to it.
- Every interaction counts towards selecting the fan favorite for that category.

VOTING IS OPEN
One change to voting, is I'm not able to do voting on the forum. In order for members to vote on their favorite art, I would have to post each individual image on it's own post...that's 60 posts per forum! So instead, you have 2 ways to vote.
Become a member of the Facebook Group and vote on each one of the 6 categories.
Fill out this questionnaire to vote on your favorite backgrounds.
Voting ends April 12th -
There are some really nice backgrounds in those groupings!Might be addicted to pixel ponies...

Tentative results are in. But some images didn't meet the standard for the game and slipped my notice. So final backgrounds will be posted later. Thank you all for participating, sorry this sounds so blunt. I'm exhausted and it's way past my bed time LOL.
-
SunsetPrairies05 was accidently missed in the Google Doc. But was quite popular on Facebook. So long as it passes muster, it will be added.
-
Are winners going to be selected and submitted this month?
-
@Cavalynn sorry about that, I thought I had and got caught up with life. I need to reach out to some members and see if they want to make any edits, there are some that Ammit wont accept, or we might have subs for. I'm just waiting for Ammit to reopen the background packs, which she said would be some time in June.
-
I think the background approval is open again now and remaining slots may go fast.
-
The background approval has been open this entire time. I have been encouraging people to get their approvals in before June 1st.Need to contact me? Read this first.
I sometimes get busy and miss things. If your private message, question, etc. gets missed please ping me so I can follow up with you. I am also always happy to explain or clarify. (HAJ does not have a customer service email, please send me a forum message! )

@Ammit oh sorry about that! I've not been on the game much, life being what it is. Last message I had with you was you said you wouldn't be able to add them until June. I'll get everything bought and sorted.
-

Congratulations Everyone!
Sorry for the long wait, there was a little back and forth to get everything finalized - but we did it!

Instead of 30 backgrounds we were able to sponsor 50 BACKGROUNDS, thanks to FollysFantasies on HJ2 for offering to match our donation!
Backgrounds have been approved, tokens have been purchased, and soon you will have a brand new tack pack! Thank you all for participating and making this a very fun event to host <3
