Hi All! Just another reminder about our Mascot Design Contest that ends on April 30th! And check below for part of the grand prize for the winner!

Since 2003, Tamerlaine has been alone as the sole mascot for Socalfurs. Let's get her a companion, a guy to join her on adventures! The goal of this contest is to design a male mascot for Socalfurs - the entirety of the design is up to you, but the art resulting must be PG-13 or lower (We'll be posting this in public.), and preferences will be given to animals native to and/or existing in Southern California.

Entries must be in by April 30th, with 3 Finalists chosen by May 15th. Finalists will be displayed in the Califur Art Show (Assuming there's still space as I send off an email to buy it), with the final judging and announcement during Califur.
