New Closed! Thank you all for the 33 entries! New 
I'm going to try to get the plaques and ribbons done before I post results, it'll take me a while to judge though!




Okay, I heard y'all last year and I raise you another Royally Frozen this year!
This year it's all about Royalty.


 Deadline: January 14
Last extension! 
You can see last year's entries here!



Information:

This event takes place in the cavern arena: Indoor Dressage Arena
It has been scheduled so that there is light snow falling through the ceiling hole when the event takes place,
so it'll be a little chilly inside!
This is sort of a special edition of conformation - the horse can be standing or prancing, fidgeting, 
etc. as long as it is staying in the right general location (under the falling snow) (just no cantering around everywhere, you know?).

Show off your handsome stallions and beautiful mares in the indoor dressage arena!

Here's the catch: Your horse will be in the middle of the falling snow!

The background will be somewhat dark since it's cloudy outside, but you can set up candles on the ground however you like to get the lighting that you want on your horse (also the chandeliers will be on).
Feel free to use fog from a fog machine too

Make your horse look like a Frozen King or Frozen Queen! Majestic and beautiful in the falling snow!

No handlers are in the pictures. Humans are not majestic.

Horse needs to have a halter on at least - remember the theme!
Add accessories and work that mane! Maybe a little paint or winter-y glitter... this is a winter pageant for your horse.
Show your horse's inner royalty. Every horse has one.
This is open to all ages, foals too. You can enter young foals and their dam as one entry if you like.

When the results are posted, I am happy to critique your entry and say what I liked and what I would have liked to see you do!
You will get your score breakdown below and a paragraph or so on each judging category.


Judging

This is effort-based, single-entry. No RNG.
Extra pictures will not earn extra points; do your very best-est on your entry!
You will get a score effort-wise and following rules for each category:
30pts for the horse/rider
15pts for the background
35pts overall appeal and creativity (make it pretty!)
15pts theme (not just standard tack and attire and setting!)
up to 5pts for a story
Tracing is allowed, but deducted up to 3pts for effort - I don't judge on proportions
Total: 100 points


Things to remember:

I do judge against your own gallery. 
Make sure the background has some feature that places it at VVEE's indoor cavern arena - chandelier, cave walls, etc.
The floor of the arena is pale sand that sometimes looks blueish in the right light.
Details, in the decor or horse itself or background. Everything. All the details.
Light sources - there's a soft one from above, the cloudy sky, plus the chandeliers, and then wherever you want candles on the ground. I love to see people work with light sources!
Composition - where the horse is in the frame, where it is in the background, what colors you use, where light and darks are, etc;
composition can really play into creativity and overall appeal.
Pose and angle of course are going to be important for such a noble competition ;D

 

Assuming the turnout for this year will be like last's, here are the categories:

 Royal Queen - 1st place mares 

 Royal King - 1st place stallions 

 Royal Princess - 2nd place mares 

 Royal Prince - 2nd place stallions 

the rest of the placings are from the combined mares and stallions

3rd

4th

5th

6th
And the following are titles that you can get, there are no prizes associated (except a ribbon or something like that) but I hope they make you feel warm and fuzzy inside :3
There can be multiple winners if I can't decide!

Elegant Attire - my favorite costume

The Regent - judge's choice
Jester - determined via public poll
Posh Taste - my favorite background
Her/His Majesty - Either the first place mare or stallion that has the higher score
Joker - RNG decided


I also want to wage a war, mares versus stallions!
Bragging rights for 2017 go to the best average score of mares or stallions~

 

Prizes:

The Royals will have a group picture done by me, with suitable attire.
1st places:
400pts
Gold Crown & plaque
Headshot by Saoradh
2nd places:
300pts
Silver Crown & plaque

All hail the prince of the north!
