Well, another week and another new contest on Howrse. Is it me or are there rather a lot at the moment?!
This one is brand new and called the Painting Contest.
What you have to do is collect cans of paint by doing various things around Howrse and use them to complete paintings. Each time you complete a painting you win a gift. So if you complete the first painting you win a Helios' Ray, if you complete the second a Golden Apple etc. You can complete them in any order and the gifts range from apples and ageing points to 5th elements and Nyx Packs. It is only possible to complete one painting per day.
Here's how to earn cans of paint:
- When you log in for the first time each day
- When your horses win competitions (max 3 per day)
- When your horses come last in competitions (max 3 per day)
- On your horses birthday (max 2 per day)
- By opening Horns of Plenty
- In the Flash Sales (auctions and direct, you can win 1 gift in each type of sale every 2 days)
- With UFOs
- By combining cans of paint
The last option lets you create colours from the colours you already have. So for example you can make an orange can by mixing together red and yellow.
Now there is another use for your cans of paint. You can use them instead to create your Masterpiece. This is basically a giant blank canvas on which you can colour in individual pixels.
There are two sets of prizes for this.
- You can try to colour as many pixels as you can (currently at the time of writing the leading player has already coloured in 502 pixels) and the top 10 players who colour the most win the new Divine horse Saturn.
- Or you can create an actual picture on your canvas and put it up for voting. The players of Howrse will then vote for their favourites and again the 10 best will win the new Divine horse Saturn.
So get colouring and have fun with your creations!
