Shepherds of Haven Holiday Fan Contest (2020)

Hi everyone, just popping in to let you know that there will be a Holiday Fan Contest (open to everyone, from now until December 20th) running for Shepherds of Haven!

What do you do?

• Make a fan creation for Shepherds of Haven!
• Fanfiction, fanart, or fan-anything is welcome: if you're more musician or crafter than writer, that's amazing! All ShoH-related creations are welcome!
• If you don't feel like submitting a creation, you can submit a post about your favorite thing about Shepherds of Haven; a favorite character and why you like them; or something else that would be the good subject of a short "essay"!
• Post your fan creation or essay to one of the methods below!

Platforms for Posting

• Here on Patreon, either as a link in the comments of this post or as a PM
• On our Discord, in the #haven-holiday channel
• On the COG Shepherds of Haven thread 
• On Tumblr (tag @shepherds-of-haven in your post or reblog the contest post with your entry)!

Rules

• The submission period will run from now until December 20th, 11 PM MST.
• At that point, all entries will be collected and posted anonymously on this Shepherds of Haven contest page.
• Voting on the entries will begin here on Patreon.
• Winners will be announced December 31st. 

Additional Rules

• "Steamy" contest entries are allowed, but no hardcore NSFW. This is a public contest, so please exercise best judgment!

• You can discuss the progress of your entries in our Discord's channel.
• One prize per winner.

Prizes

• 1st Prize: An exclusive, curated Shepherds of Haven gift box loaded with ShoH merchandise, character treats and goodies, and even the Shepherds of Haven cookbook in hard copy!
