We challenge each of you to put your best litters forward as part of the inaugural The Best of Breeders breeding contest, which aims to highlight the breeding efforts of our PL petzers and give an opportunity to appreciate the fruits of their hard work (and Prism's batch breeder).
The tentative cutoff date for entries is Wed 21st August AEST, after which voting for the People's Choice will open for 2 days.
The award ceremony will be held on Sun 24th August AEST, where judge's picks and winners for each category will be announced (and awards given out)!
We highly encourage donating these litters to future advents!
Feel free to message me with any questions you may have on discord (nymble #7600)
- Matching Set Award - Best Cohesion
this breeder's litter demonstrates a pleasing cohesiveness, with a strong resemblance between siblings whilst also being adorable individually!
- Lucky Dice Award - Best Variety
this breeder's pair throws out varied & surprising offspring that don't necessarily bear a strong resemblance to each other, but are also wonderfully cute standalone!
- Back to Basics Award - Best of OW Free
wowee it’s GMO, paraben and OW free, this traditional litter is a stellar standout without being bred with any overwrites!
- Simply Sentimental Award - Alternate Scoring
this category honours the sentimentality behind this bred litter independent of their physical traits. perhaps they descend from some of your earliest naturally-raised petz? are they part of a difficult pb nib project you spent many hours on? tell us!
- People’s Choice
a survey form will be put up after the final cutoff, and after 2 day window of voting, the people's choice winner will be determined!
- Judge's Picks - each judge has a unique ribbon that they can award to a personal favorite!
These awards stack, so participants can theoretically win multiple categories!
Helping me judge this contest are ...
Hexer extraordinare, Queenie @ Phantasmagoria,
The reknown prolific petz breeder, Becca @ Sungraze,
& our very own queen of goats, Hashbrown!
Our judges will determine the winners of the Best Cohesion, Best Variety, Best of OW-free and Simply Sentimental categories, and as individuals choose which litter to award their ribbon to as part of Judge’s Picks. People’s Choice, on the other hand, will be left up to a vote from which the judges are exempt.
- One litter submitted per member - can be either dogz or catz!
- Litters must comprise of a minimum of 3 and maximum of 5 petz
- To count as a litter, the submitted litter must share the same parents
- Please submit offspring photos @ age 100
- OWS allowed (though note, the litter cannot be considered for the OW free award category if used)
On top of the prestige of being named a Best of Breeders winner, each category winner will receive a
personalised trophy and a Best of Breeders winner ribbon.
+ A custom graphic award (similiar to the style of my sweepstake show graphics)
will also be created for each of the award winners featuring their litters!
For Judge’s Picks, each judge will have their own unique ribbon to award their favourite litter.
from left to right, the ribbons to be awarded belong to: myself, queenie, hash & sungraze
