[credit is appreciated but not required] [reblog if use!]
Hello, all! This is an announcement for a Vampires SMP community event to support bat conservation. There’s a lot of misconceptions surrounding bats being evil or dirty or diseased, which makes it really hard to get people to care about some bat species that are already struggling with survival. Bats are close to the heart of VSMP, so i thought we could do something to raise awareness and support within our community.
-
When this event occurs: April 12th-18th, as International Bat Appreciation Day falls on the 17th of that week.
-
How to participate: Create a post with a piece of art or a story that is related to bats in VSMP in some way, and include a donation link to a bat conservation group with it. All posts will need to either tag this blog, or use a hashtag (#vsmp bat conservation event) so that we can find and reblog it to share the love. It’s not required but including information about bats themselves either within the work or separately is encouraged.
Who can participate: Everyone! Regardless of skill level, everyone is invited to participate. And if you’re not able to participate directly, you can still help by donating or liking/reblogging other people’s works.
Accepted art: Digital, traditional, 3D, short stories, poems, get creative! You may make as many posts as you like.

Day 5: Echolocation

Donation Links:
Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation: https://www.merlintuttle.org/

i personally don't feel comfortable handling money in any way, so all donations will need to be made directly to the conservation group(s). The downside to that would be that there won't be a specific monetary goal, and we won’t know how much gets donated in the end. HOWEVER.
To incentivize participation, i will be taking art requests. For each request that is made, I WILL DONATE $5.00 USD (capped at $500 USD). That means even if you're not an artist or writer, and donating is outside of your means, you still have the opportunity to be involved in a meaningful way!
All art requests must be sent as an ask, and must follow the above stated rules, otherwise it will be deleted. You may send an ask early, but it will only be fulfilled after the event starts on April 12th. Requests will not be accepted after April 18th (or if we hit the $500 goal).

Disclaimer: This event is not sponsored by anyone, nor are any of the Vampires Creators involved in the project. This is just a fun event for the community to celebrate and support bats.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to send an ask or dm!
