Like almost every brony convention, Czequestria always features a charity auction! This year, we will be again supporting an equine cause – the Equine-assisted therapy. Close contact with the animals positively affects the patient’s motor skills, coordination, and balance. Haven’t you ever thought that hugging equines could be magical?
Anypony can donate an MLP or brony-related item to the auction and all the money will go to support the above-mentioned magical thing!
It’s going to be a show! The famous Perrydotto has agreed to play the role of the announcer, and we’ll eat our hat if it’s not going to rock! Go, Perry!
Which organization are we going to support?
Items donated to the charity auction will help raise funds for the Chewal association, a qualified organization providing equine rehabilitation near Bystřice, Czech Republic. All money donated in the auction will go directly to the Chewal association.
What items to donate?
Any MLP-related item that is in some way exceptional. For example, handmade, customized, or collectible items which are not widely available in shops. It doesn’t need to be a state-of-the-art statue of Discord nor Larson’s slippers; any interesting items are welcome, regardless of the level of their epicness.
How to donate an item and where to hand it in?
Donated items can be registered in advance via email aukce@czequestria.cz until 21 August 2024. After this date, items can only be registered at the info desk during the event (emails received later will no longer be processed).
Please include the following information in the message in this order:
- Item name and description – you can mention the features that make it unique (e.g. the history of how it was made)
- Estimated value (optional) – in CZK, can help the moderator estimate the starting price
- Item photo(s) – upload a few photos of your item to some image sharing service – GDrive, DropBox, Imgur, etc. – and paste a link to it here, or add the photo as an e-mail attachment. The photograph may be used (if appropriate) in the presentation of the item during the auction.
- Full name of donor – only for organizational purposes (name, surname and e-mail will not be published anywhere)
- Donor Name/nickname (optional) – name that will be publicly displayed during the auction (leave blank if you wish to remain anonymous)
All registrations will be confirmed by e-mail from the organizers.
By submitting an item to the auction, you confirm that you agree to the rules of Czequestria and confirm that the item cannot be reclaimed once is handed in.
Items can also be registered at the location of the event (at the information table near the venue entrance), either throughout Saturday or on Sunday until 13:00. Handing over of items takes place at the same place (info table at the entrance) at the same times as registration.
Thank you in advance for all item donations!
