"I'm holding a contest starting December 1st running through New Years whose goal is give artists a chance to win a prize and most importantly: have fun! Prizes available include the chance of winning one of four Intuos4 Large sized tablets, or one of four Bamboo Create tablets. Our gracious hosts here at EqD are serving as judges to determine first and second prize winners, with first place winners nabbing the Intuos and second place winners the Bamboo Creates, according to judgment made on artwork submitted to one of these four categories:
1. Traditional Artwork (Pencil, crayon, marker, paintings, ect.)
2. Comics (Digital or Traditional)
3. Hand Drawn Digital Artwork
4. Vector Artwork

All are welcome to participate in this event so spread the word if you can! There is no set drawing theme so draw what you're best at as long as it remains within EqD's picture guidelines. You can only submit one piece of artwork to the contest so pick the category you do best in and give it your all!"

Operation Winter Wrap Up is calling for pony fans to donate pony toys to charity this holiday season.

"Find out about charities near you (there are a few suggestions on this site [site]). Next go to your local toy store, Target, Walmart etc. and buy what pony toys you can afford to give. Then follow the rules of your chosen charity to donate the ponies. When you're done, come back and fill out our donation survey."

The Humble Brony Bundle

By Cupcakes Nom, Guest Reporter

Introducing... The Humble Brony Bundle!

So, what is the Humble Brony Bundle? A way for bronies to come together and create a fund to buy one big copy of the Humble Indie Bundle, pooling our resources to become one of the top ten contributors. And by helping the cause you'll be supporting charity, indie gaming, and good publicity for all bronies everywhere!


Why should you join the Humble Brony Bundle cause?

You can see more info on these points at the Humble Brony Bundle website, but here is a quick overview:

GOOD PUBLICITY:
The members of many fandoms are concerned about how others see them, and bronies in particular have some rather pastel-colored first impressions to overcome. Some people strongly fear bad press and will do anything they can to limit it.

I say... forget about the bad, let's make some GOOD press! Let's show the world that when bronies come together we make good things happen! What is the good? Well:

CHARITY:
60% of all Humble Brony Bundle proceeds will be contributed to charity. This is split between two groups: Child's Play, who provides games to sick children in hospitals, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group of passionate digital rights experts and advocates working to maintain free speech and privacy on the Internet.

INDIE GAMING:
30% of all Humble Brony Bundle proceeds will be contributed to indie game developers, those guys out there making the small games we love and LIVING THE DREAM!

HUMBLE BUNDLE, INC.:
10% of all Humble Brony Bundle proceeds will be contributed to Humble Bundle, Inc., without which none of this would be possible!


How can you join the cause?

Go to the Humble Brony Bundle website and donate! If you aren't able to donate then please spread the word far and wide!

Currently we are number one on the Humble Indie Bundle top contributors list, thanks to hundreds of generous donations! However we are still accepting donations for two big reasons:

A) ALL leftover donations will be saved to be used on the next Humble Indie Bundle #4, coming soon!

B) If another big donor comes along we want to be able to match or exceed their contribution. A little healthy competition is ALWAYS a good thing when the proceeds benefit such great causes!

Thanks everypony, and have a great holiday season!
