Thoroughbreds

• Art must be original and made for this show (no premade lineart/ reused art pieces)

• Tracing is allowed as long as the reference images are credited

• AI generated images are not allowed

• Competitors can only enter one horse per race, but can enter as many races as they like so long as the race criteria is met. The only exception is Maiden races, as each horse can only enter one Maiden race per month.

• No previous race experience is needed to enter unless otherwise stated.

• A minimum of a headshot with a simple or photo background is required for all entries.

• All backgrounds must be unique to each piece, and cannot be reused for multiple entries. 

• Photo backgrounds are allowed, but will only earn 0.5 pts. Photos must be stock/open source images and need to be linked in the description.

• Photo manipulated backgrounds with considerable editing/changes can qualify for more points, as long as all stock images used are linked in the description. Photos used must be relevant to the class (Ex. no open fields or other non-track related locations).

• Entries can depict any part of the racing process: running during the race, standing in the starting gate, being led onto the track, tacking up, etc. However, entries should not show their horse winning the race.

• Horses and their riders must be wearing appropriate racing tack and attire.

• Horses can only be pure Thoroughbreds.

• Thoroughbred horses must be realistic, meaning only coat colors that are found in real horses and do not include any fantasy features (wings, horns, etc). 

• I (Storm-Coast) may enter my own horses in these classes, but my entries will automatically place last unless I am the only entry in that class. (Ex. If there are three entries, I place 3rd)
