Welcome to the PonyCon swap!
This is a yearly tradition where participants provide their want lists, shop for their partners and then at PonyCon we surprise each other with wonderful boxes of pony goodness!
There is a "cost" to enter this swap and that is you must make a donation to PonyCon. This can be your time as a volunteer, a submission for the con book or craft raffle, prizes or auction items, or a monetary donation.
Timescales
Sign ups close - 19th June
Partners Assigned - on or before 21st June
Shopping period ends - 6th September
Pre-wrapping box approval date - 20th September
Swap Limits
£15 minimum spend on ponies
£5 minimum spend on extras
Please note that the minimum spends exclude postage, and are based on the value of the pony I.e. if you pay £10 for a pony which has a value of £5, the pony only contributes £5 to the box value.
Swap Details
***This is a want list only swap. Do not buy ponies for your partner that are not on their want list***
I ask that participants can provide a minimum of 5 feedback, ideally from trades or sales, and have been active in the community for at least 6 months. That said, all applicants will be reviewed on an individual basis so please do PM me even if you aren't sure that you meet the criteria.
If anybody wants to take part who can't attend the convention, please PM me, I don't want anybody feeling like they can't join in. I will sort something out.
As with last year, you are expected to make a donation - be it a custom fundraiser, some time on the weekend, a prize for a raffle or the auction - to the convention.
I do insist on checking the contents of every swap box before it is wrapped. Please don't wrap your items until you've sent me a photo of everything for approval. Especially as these boxes are mostly handed over in person, we don't want anybody disappointed and this check is purely to see that the requirements of the swap are met.
