Unfortunately, my current gold is a little sparse, so I will only have 4 overall prizes. Currently, due to lack of gold, there is only two minor category prizes. The minor category prizes are in blue. You can win more than one minor category prize, if applicable. A picture can win both one overall prize and applicable minor category prizes. The prizes are:

First Prize:75,000

Second Prize:35,000

Third Prize: 25,000

Honorable Mentions:5,000

Best Shiro & Kuro:20,000
(both Shiro and Kuro must be in the picture to qualify)

Best Satoko:10,000

Squiggly Gold Give Away!

I think it would be fun to give something to people who post in this thread. smile

First person who I see on page 5.--Earns 3,000 gold.

First person who I see on page 10.--Earns 4,000 gold

First person who I see on page 20.--Earns 5,000 gold
