Hello all!  Down to the wire with this post, but its that time again, celebrating the iconic "Run for the Roses" of the Kentucky Derby with a free giveaway event! Can we fill all the posts this year?!

I've run this even a few times and decided to do so again this year.  The rules are simple.  Pick a pole position, and if your horse wins the event, you get a prize, a free themed commission from me!  The race is May 2nd, so all entries must be in by then.

Rules of Play:

Leading up to the Kentucky Derby, contestants will each choose 1 horse from the presented list of 20 participating horses.

 There are sometimes more horses in the race, but 20 is usually the most stable estimate, so it cuts off at 20.

Only 1 "rider" to a horse.  Once its been picked, its out of the selection pool.

For   simplicity, since the race a few positions may change dramatically   without warning, each player is assigned to the initial post position, rather than the actual horse (As of May 4th)

If  your horse  is removed before the race, send me a note.  If available,  you may  select another horse.  If no horse is available, you will be  paired up  on another horse, selected at random by rolling a 20 sided  die.

The player who selects the winning horse wins a prize

If no one selects the winning horse, the second place horse is treated as   winner.  This continues down the line until all winners are selected.

First  Place: One full colour commission of a single character.  In keeping with the derby  theme, this should be equine or derby themed.   (E.G. horses, centaurs,  equitaurs, MLP or just involving the race in  some way, like a character in a fancy hat.

Second Place: One flat colour commission of a single character.  In keeping with the derby  theme, this should be equine or derby themed.   (E.G. horses, centaurs,  equitaurs, or just involving the race in  some way, like a character in a fancy hat.

Third Place: One lineart commission of a single character.  In  keeping with the derby  theme, this should be equine or derby themed.   (E.G. horses, centaurs,  equitaurs, or just involving the race in  some way, like a character in a fancy hat.

Post-Time is Saturday, May 2nd.  The morning of the 2nd is the cutoff for entry.
