Appreciate a Dragon Day Ad Contest 2025

DRAFT

National Appreciate a Dragon Day is January 16th this year. In honor of our favorite dragons, I am hosting an ad contest.

Welcome to the ATM Ad Agency! Your job is to take our product Dragon Pants and make an appealing ad campaign for it! We want everyone on Mara to want to rush right out and model this high fashion asap! We want customers to be crashing internet sites and knocking down the doors of brick and mortar stores looking for these pants! They may be retired, but we want Dragon Pants to go viral!

Your ad campaign can be as simple or as complex as you please. You can write a jingle or slogan, you can pretend to be a social media sensation, you can do artwork with a slogan on it, you can write out a commercial, or whatever else you want to do.

The campaign that makes me want to wear this wardrobe item the most will win the Dragon Pants! Everyone who enters will win a prize with the word "dragon" in it from my attic.

Contest begins 1/16/25 and ends 1/22/25.

You can enter by EITHER posting in the comment section (don't forget your username) or by mailing me. If you want others to see your entry the comment section is the way to go.


GRAND PRIZE: Dragon Pants

ATM 2024 Christmas Stocking Sign Up

Jolly old St. Nicholas needs your help stuffing stockings with gifts this year.

You will visit other club members' blogs to leave them a message in the comments and send them a gift for their stocking. Since usernames no longer show up in the comments, please also leave your username with your message. You may visit other people more than once if you wish.

Examples from previous years:

Sneaks in and hangs a gold, red, and green candycane on your stocking..lets see what else we have, ah, a heart plushie as well as a baby quell plushie.
Happy holidays!!

*Slips in a glittering Diamond*

Slips a Traditional Yule Log into your stocking. Don't worry, I didn't light the candles yet

Hops down the chimney stuffing your stocking with some Christmas cheer!
*Merry Christmas*

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Santa's little helper has just slipped down the chimney and dropped some goodies into your stocking. Happy Holidays.

You do not have to deliver presents to the entire list of people, but I hope that everyone who participates completes the full list. Please keep the presents to a reasonable value. This event is meant for small gifts. Save your large gifts for Secret Santa later in the month. Keep in mind that if you participate you may or may not get equal or greater value gifts. All Mara gifting rules apply. This is meant to be a fun little club activity, and is not a guarantee that you will receive high priced items.
