Hi Panda Pals!

I received an interesting letter in the mail today. There was no name or return address, and all the message said was "See you on Monday!" It was written on the back of this:
Hmmmmm. I wonder who could have sent me that letter? It's such a mystery!
.
.
.
.
LOL, well, of course, we all know which of our Pandanda citizens that Golden Ticket belongs to - the amazing Zing Ballyhoo! Zing will be setting up his gold and blue tent in Pandanda for a short visit starting Monday, March 12th. He will scatter Golden Tickets all over Pandanda for you to collect and trade to him for his always unique prizes!

Zing's gold top hat is one of his most unmistakable features. To help us get into the spirit for Zing's return, let's have a cool Hat Day this Friday! Start looking through your closet to find your favorite hat. Can't pick just one favorite? That's ok! Wear them all (one at a time, of course!)

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

The party will last about an hour. We hope it doesn't last longer like it did on the Welcome Party Opening Bash lol, which was loads of fun!

We will also be having two 1 month elite codes giveaway to random pandas who attend at the party, so make sure to come! We will be playing all kinds of games such as Bunny Chase, Ghosts of Misty Hill, Line Four, Pen the Pig, the Typing game, the Emote Game, and more! This will not be a contest, we will be giving them out to pandas who are very fair, nice, awesome, and acting good!

If you came to the Welcome Party Opening Bash from PDSociety(A PD Partnership between PDFriendship, PDManiac, and PDSquad), it will be as much fun as it was on the Bash! We will be moving place to place as well.

Anyways, we really hope you can come and make it! Let's celebrate our 10,000 hits since July 13th, 2011, it will be loads of fun!

Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest Update

Hey pandas! Here's just a simple reminder from Henry about the Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone!

The Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest is going great! We have seen some beautiful and creative player card background drawings, and even a few with animation suggestions. We can't wait to see more! Remember, entries must be received at contest@pandanda.com no later than 11:59pm PST on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 21st in my Blog.

I want to take a minute to remind everyone to read the contest rules carefully. Many of the entries we have received are not eligible win the contest because they did not follow the Rules of the Contest.

1. Your entry must be sent from the email address that your Pandanda account is registered to. An easy way to make sure that you are using the right address is by logging into your Account Management page. When you log in there with your panda name and password, you will see the email address that you used when you created your account. This is the email address that you must send your contest entry from.

2. You must make sure that your panda's name is in your email. Otherwise, how can we know which panda to award the Grand Prize to?You can also use your panda name as the name for the image file you send.

3. Your drawing must be completely your own work. Whether you use crayons on paper, or a drawing/painting program on your computer, everything on your drawing must be created by you.

4. You may only send in ONE entry each day.

So, what can you do if you think you sent in an entry that did not follow those rules? If you sent your entry from the wrong email address, send it again from the right address. If you didn't put your panda name in your email, send your entry again and include your panda name. If you sent more than one entry on one day, you can send those entries again, but this time send just ONE each day for the rest of the contest. And if you sent a drawing that wasn't your own work, you still have plenty of time to design and draw your own, original player card background!

Here are some things you need to enter the contest:
You can read my original Contest announcement here. And if you have questions, you can send them to that same contest@pandanda.com address.

Happy drawing!
Henry

I haven't started on mine yet, but I got really good ideas! Good luck everyone!

Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest!

It's finally here! It's finally here! The Spring theme player card drawing contest is here! I am so exited for this contest. I hope I win, I'll try my best! Henry wrote a looong list of requirements, rules, and instructions for the contest! Read on and see what he said...

--------------------------------------------------------------
Happy March, Panda Pals!

Let's get this month off to a great start with the first contest of 2012 - a Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest!

This goal of this contest is to design and submit a drawing of a player card background using the template of a player card provided. We recommend you use this template, since it shows the placement of where the Panda image appears on top of the Player Card and how it will cover the design.

The theme of your background should be Springtime. If you like, you can suggest a simple animation for your background (for example, the falling snow on the village scene in last year's Winter Festival background.)

For hand-drawn entries, we suggest that you first print a copy of the template, and then create your drawing on that. Hand-drawn images will need to be scanned into your computer or turned into a digital picture using a digital camera so they can be emailed to us. If you use a camera to take a picture of your drawing, make sure it is well-lit and in focus. We want to be able to see your drawing at its best!

All entries must be emailed to us in the format of a digital image (in one of the following formats: jpg, gif, tiff, bmp, pdf, png). Entries that are not in one of those formats will be disqualified.

There is a limit of one entry per email address (the one you used when you created your panda) per day. Entries must be received at contest@pandanda.com no later than 11:59pm PST on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 21st in my Blog.

Prizes:
One Grand Prize will be awarded by our panel of judges.

The Grand Prize winner will have their design turned into an actual player card background by our graphic artists to be used in the game, and will also receive:
  • a 6-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate
  • 5000 Panda Power
  • 200 Panda Gold

The really cool part is that the winning design will feature the winning Panda's name on the card - which could even make your Panda pretty famous - who knows? The winner's new Player Card Background will be available during the Easter Egg Hunt Festival that begins on March 30th.

To submit your entry (have your parent or guardian help you):
  • Read and obey the rules. Entering the competition means that you and your parent/guardian agree to the rules. A complete list of the rules can be found here. If you are under 13 years old, please ask your parent or guardian to review them with you, along with our website Terms of Use, specifically with regard to the use of submissions you send to us.
  • Ask your parent or guardian to email your entry to contest@pandanda.com from their email address, the one they used when they signed you up for Pandanda. Your entry MUST come from the email address that we have on file for your Pandanda account.You can see what that email address is by logging into your Account Management page.
  • Type the words "Player Card Drawing Contest" in the subject line of the email.
  • Type your Panda name in the text of the email for example "Panda Name: Paige."
  • Do NOT include your real name, house address, phone number, or password.
  • Email your entry for Pandanda to receive it no later than Wednesday, March 14th at 11:59pm, Pacific Standard Time (PST). You may only send in one entry per Pandanda account per day.
I can't wait to see your entries. I know there are some very creative pandas out there in Pandanda Land!

Happy drawing!
Henry
