I bet everyone has been waiting for this moment, huh?
Pondpony Month has officially begun!

There have been some changes since last year though..
This time there is a FTO section of the contest!! That means that those without a Pondpony can participate to get Koi Koins and MYOs. This works by FTOs using the Pondpony Mascots in each prompt.

That wasn't the only thing that was changed, now each person can obtain at least 2 Koi Koins per prompt they enter.  So that means a person could get up to a max of 8 Koi Koins, if participating in each prompt.
You must have your Pondpony Registered to earn these Koi Koins.
Please follow the example here:

Let's get started on it! <3

Quick Q&A


"Can we use one character for one prompt and another for a different prompt?"
Bullet Blue by Drawn-Mario No, you have to use one character / mascot throughout the whole contest.

*"What if you co-own a Pondpony?"
Bullet Blue by Drawn-Mario It depends, you'll have to work something out with the other co-owners. You can either collab since you own co-own the Pondpony or just one of you can use the Pondpony for the contest. If you collab on the entries then the prizes will be split between the collaborators.
