Create a holiday - results!

Post by Sushidragon »

One of the pages I added to the Samanayr Library recently was a list of Samanayr-specific festivals and special days:

http://samanayrs.net/info/samanayrs/soc ... cial-days/

However, the list seems a bit sparse.. so I thought I’d turn to the Samanayr community for help. This event is simple enough: come up with a Samanayr festival or special day!

The winning event will become a permanent fixture of the Samanayr calendar, and the winner will also receive a Samanayr based on their event :D

Rules and info

- There is a limit of one entry per person.
- You are welcome to edit your entry before the end time.
- Please keep descriptions brief, like the ones already on the Festivals and Special Days page.
- The event can appeal to all Samanayrs or a specific group/species (like the Mystics-only Summer Meet)
- I’ll be judging based on creativity and how well the event would fit into the Samanayrs’ world.
- If two people submit a similar event I may combine them together and give each entrant a prize, but we’ll see what happens!

Each entrant will also receive a random tradeable item :D

To enter, please send me a PM with the subject Party time! and the following form filled out:

Username:
Event name:
When does it take place?
Description:


This event will be open until May 4, 7pm PDT - good luck!

Good luck everyone! :D <333 I'm a bit sad this happened but I hope this can be something we might do once a year (Create a holiday). Love this idea!

Not to worry, even if the subject line isn't correct you're still in! Having a set subject line just makes it easier to sort my PMs and make it less likely I'll actually miss an entry but not having the right subject doesn't exclude you :D

Thank you so much for all of your entries! It was fun to share this world-buildling opportunity and see what everyone came up with :D I'll definitely be doing more events like this in the future!

The winning entry comes from Seren, the Festival of Rainbows! I love the idea of a happy, colorful event taking place during the winter when everyone definitely needs a bit of a boost XD Here's the festival description:

This festival is a five day event that takes place when snows take over much of the Hotsprings. Samanayrs ties ribbons to their bodies, splatter paints on one another, compete in races, and create sculptures of coloured snow. At night, each Song sets a lantern they’ve decorated together into the night sky.

And to celebrate, here's Celebration!

Congrats to Seren, and thanks again to everyone for participating :D

Oh my goodness I am so happy you have no idea! I'm just delighted! I created a holiday that I personally would enjoy and I loved the idea of colors in the snows of winter, and I'm glad you liked it as well.

Celebration is SO PERFECT! Look at his beautiful rainbow and black colors and his pretty ribbons and his lantern!!! I'm so happy he has a lantern seriously ahhhh! Thank you so much Sushi, he's the best. ;A;

Now to find him a song of happy rainbow mares... c:

Also I would so be down to help run/make sams for an event this winter based on the holiday!
