Artwork must feature Scootaloo. You may (but don't have to) include other characters too.
Submitted art must be made by you. If
any part of your your submission contains other people's work (e.g. vectors, bases, models, traced references...), then you must credit the original artist(s) in the description.

You may submit more than one entry, but you will receive at most one prize.

The winners will be decided by a vote, judged by:
Maddy Peters (voice actress for Scootaloo), a couple Scootastic artists (
KP-ShadowSquirrel and
atryl), and the moderators of
Scootalove and

Judges will consider three things:
- Does the submission fit the theme?
- Is the concept creative and interesting?
- How much effort and skill did artist put into their entry?

only if you have a very good reason for being late.
