Equine Guelph is holding a special contest on Facebook asking people what horses mean to them.
Entries will be accepted until Dec. 20.
Contest organizers ask youths to show or tell about the bond they share with horses by entering the first EquiMania Facebook contest. A cool prize is on offer for the winner and sure to be appreciated by the horse lover in the family.
By entering, contestants agree to allow submissions to be posted on the EquiMania Facebook page. A celebrity panel of judges will choose the top entries and post them on EquiMania’s Facebook page for a final vote.
Winners will be notified by email and will have their submission posted on EquiMania’s Facebook page.
Contestants must be “a friend” of the EquiMania Facebook page in order to be eligible to win. The five winners will receive their EquiMania prize package by mail.
There are five categories available for people to show an example of how special the horse-human bond is (or show why horses are important to the individual):
Contestants under 16 years old can submit either a drawing or story. Contestants 16 years and up can submit either a photo, story or video. Contestants must be a resident of Canada.
People can enter the contest online by sending their photo, scanned drawing, story, or YouTube video link to equimania@uoguelph.ca. Entries will not be accepted by any other means.
Photos submitted online are accepted in most formats. They must be a minimum of 72 dots per inch (DPI) and at least 500 pixels with respect to the photo’s width.
Stories should be 200 to 500 words maximum. Videos must be submitted using a YouTube link and kept under a maximum of five minutes. Drawings must be sent as a scanned copy, via email.
Entries become the property of Equine Guelph. No acknowledgement of receipt will be sent. All online entries must be submitted from a valid email account.
