Gallery closed! Gala Contest extended for OCS!

Okay everybody! The gallery is CLOSED until we clean it up! That means no more submissions will be allowed!

As for the contest, the winners for the canon portion of it will be decided soon!

However, due to a lot of people not reading the rules, almost all of the OC portion had to be disqualified! So, I'm going to re-open it again! This time, I will make it a bit clearer, so, I'll elaborate it here.

Original Character Gala Contest

The only rule is that it must be someone else's OC! A lot of people were disqualified for doing their own characters for this! So, it NEEDS to be someone else's!

-You can put in as many designs for as many characters as you want, so long as they aren't yours.

-I' going to offer you some of the administrator's ponies up for you guys to choose from. Don't know anyone with an OC to draw? These characters are available for free range; you don't have to ask. If you're going to use anyone else's characters, you MUST ask. But these ones, you do not. So, here they are:

Please do not go advertising your own OC or offering or asking it to be put here. That accomplishes nothing. Anyone who advertises their character in the comments will be banned from entering the contest as will their character. The characters put here belong to the staff and are here for people to choose from if they can't think of or are too afraid to ask anyone to use their characters.

In addition, the characters shown here are free to be drawn only for this contest.

This doesn't mean you have to do any of these characters; this is just for people who can't think of anyone who will lend their OC for the contest! I'll be re-opening the folder for the OC Gala Contest once the gallery is cleaned. I'm thinking the contest will extend another couple months; maybe until just before 2013. Thoughts?
