Welcome to The Top 10 Pony Videos, a monthly celebration of the best videos in the brony community! Since its inception in June 2011, this project has been a cornerstone of pony video appreciation and it's all thanks to the dedication of many passionate contributors.
👉 Scroll down for voting rules, or check out the FAQs page if you have questions.
Smol Bee from our tech team has built a new voting form that forwards your votes to the main Google Form while helping to catch common mistakes. It can flag issues like votes that are too short, from the wrong month, duplicate links, and more. It also pulls in thumbnails, titles, and channel names, making it easier to keep track of your votes.
This isn’t a replacement for the Google Form and you’re still responsible for following the rules, but it’s a handy, experimental tool worth trying out! If you have feedback, please share it in the Discord server.
Be sure to carefully read the full rules. However, these simplified rules should help remind you of the basics! The full rules contain more details and examples.

○ 1c. Currently allowed links: bilibili.com, bsky.app, dai.ly, dailymotion.com, derpibooru.org, newgrounds.com, odysee.com, pony.tube, thishorsie.rocks, tiktok.com, twitter.com, vimeo.com, x.com, youtu.be, youtube.com. This list is likely to change over time.
○2a.  Vote for last month’s videos based on your own time zone.
â—‹2b. Â If upload time is uncertain due to time zone differences by one day, the video can be voted for again the next month. The theme of a video may also be an indicator of which month it belongs in. For example, Nightmare Night or Hearth's Warming being October and December respectively, but this exception only applies to videos uploaded on the day before or the day of a new month.
â—‹ 3a. Â One vote per person. Voters must be at least 13 years old and use a valid Google account.
â—‹ 3b. Â If you want to change your vote you can edit the form but this must be done before the voting period ends. If you do not see the option to edit, please do not vote again. The eligibility of your vote may be determined by any of your edits. Do not use placeholder votes.
  Videos must be 30 seconds or longer not including intros/outros/credits/etc.
  The goal is to feature unique and memorable brony videos which will stand the test of time. Videos which are highly derivative, intended for children, or are very low effort, etc. are not eligible. Examples of unsuitable votes may include but aren’t limited to:
❌ Unedited reaction videos, compilations of existing work, or simple gameplay.
❌ Videos which talk down to the audience or otherwise make an effort to appeal to children as a primary audience. [YouTube’s classification is irrelevant.]
❌ Very low-effort videos or inside jokes intended for a small number of people.
âś… When in doubt, ask yourself if you think bronies will appreciate the video years from now.
  Votes suspected of manipulation/cheating are not eligible. For example: if someone with a large following instructs their followers to vote for more than one video or do anything else that might affect the outcome unfairly. Asking followers to vote for one's own video is perfectly fine, encouraged even, provided the voters also have other eligible votes.
  Videos with a primary focus to offend, disturb, shock, or videos that are overtly sexual/fetishistic in nature are not eligible. Most mature content is fine as long as it's comedic/satirical and/or has significant artistic merit.
  Videos must have My Little Pony and/or bronies as the primary focus, or have been widely adopted by the brony community.
  Votes must be actual, completed videos with visual effort and appeal. Videos must be in a final state with a more-complete version not expected to release. Additionally, if music or audio is the primary focus it is not eligible. Examples of ineligible non-visual, audio-centric, or incomplete videos may include but aren’t limited to: Â
❌ Non-animated comic dubs or art showcases [especially if using existing art not made for the video.]Â
❌ Music videos with very simple visuals [such as lyrics alongside an image.]Â
❌ Previews, trailers, and animatics for upcoming videos.
âś… When in doubt, try muting the video and see if it still holds up on visual merits alone.
  Older videos that have been reuploaded are not eligible. This rule may include edits or remakes if the core theme and/or original efforts to create the video are unchanged.
 Votes must represent a creator’s “official upload.”Â
  Eligible videos that were available online during the voting month but aren’t online at the time of voting are still eligible to vote for provided a copy can be found somewhere and its removal was not the wish of the uploader.
â—‹ 5a. Â You must have at least five eligible votes from five different creators.
○ 5b. You can include up to two videos from a creator if the videos are unique and you're including votes for at least five creators total. Don’t vote for multiple parts in a series or very similar videos from the same creator.
○ 5c.  Don’t vote for non-community videos. For example: videos made by large companies such as Hasbro are not eligible.
â—‹ 5d. Â Don't vote for videos from the current host's channel, LittleshyFiM.
