- All submissions can be entered anytime before September 30, 2020
- Shorebirds only
- All desserts welcome!
- You cannot sell your MYO (trading is fine)
- Post your MYO submission in the comments section of this journal in order to be considered for review

Q&As:
How do I know if a dessert has been taken?
There's no need to worry about duplicate desserts; there can be more than one bird of the same dessert because every design is unique! If you are really worried about it, you can check the @cookiedove-database, but be assured this has never been a cause for concern.
Can I give my bird rare traits from the species sheet?
Absolutely! As many as you like.
What is a shorebird?
"Shorebirds are a diverse group of birds in the order Charadriiformes, including sandpipers, plovers, avocets, oystercatchers, and phalaropes. They are found from intertidal mudflats, sandy beaches, and rocky coastlines to freshwater wetlands, grasslands, plowed fields and flooded agricultural lands. They feed mainly on mollusks, small crustaceans, marine worms, and insects. Shorebirds span a variety of sizes, bill shapes, and leg lengths, each species uniquely adapted to access their preferred foods in their specific habitats." What is a Shorebird?,
Here are some other resources:
I can't draw/ not comfortable with drawing / can't draw birds / etc. / what do I do?
I've created a plover chick base you can use for this event only! It's also okay for you to submit work made for you by others/friends as long as you give us proof of their written permission.

Can I draw an anthro/human/other version of my bird?
Yes, you can draw and do whatever you like with your bird, but it will not count toward your MYO, so make sure your submission is in bird form or it will not be accepted.
When will my shorebird be accepted by the @cookiedove-database?
After your have submitted your MYO submission with the traits in a comment below (see rules), it will be reviewed and either accepted or declined. Once accepted, we will reply with a watermarked version of your bird, and it will be automatically added to the database!
Can I make changes to my submission after I've submitted it?
You may, although once your bird has been submitted to the database with the watermark, it will not be re-uploaded with any changes, so please be sure you feel 100% about your design before submitting it to be reviewed.
Why was my entry declined? What should I do?
Your submission doesn't fit the guidelines mentioned in the rules above, so make sure you are clear on those. We will let you know any changes that should be made (but, again, there should be no need unless someone is hardcore trolling :P).
~*~
All submissions must be submitted by Friday, September 30th!
Happy designing!!! 🌾
Love,

Ohhhh man, I know, I'm sorry! There are a few people interested in maintaining it, so I'm currently working on the logistics and stuff (but this time of year kills me!).  I hope to have it updated asap! <3
