Illustrated Scene Contest


February’s contest invites
you to illustrate a scene from the Harry Potter series which you find
especially moving. It might be a scene that makes you happy or sad,
angry or frightened. It might be one that inspires you or has you
rolling on the floor laughing. Whatever scene you choose, try to get
the feeling of that scene across in your illustration. The judges will
not be looking for great artistic skill, but for the ability to share
with others, through your artwork, the mood your chosen scene evokes
for you.

Contest Rules

  • Create an
    illustration for any scene from the Harry Potter books which seems
    special to you. The goal of your illustration is to convey to others
    the feeling or mood the scene gives you. You may use any medium except
    photography.
  • Anyone 13 years of age and over may enter the contest, including staff members who are not involved in the judging process.
  • One entry per person.
  • All
    submissions must be the original work of the contestant. Any entries
    found to contain the work of another artist will be disqualified.
  • All entries must meet PG-13 standards of decency and good taste.
  • Please include the name you would like to have appear with your illustration (real name or Leaky Lounge name).
  • Please submit your entry in .jpg, .png, or .gif format. File sizes no larger than 1 MB, please.
  • All submissions must be e-mailed to [email protected] by 11:59 pm (EDT) on 28 February, with “Illustrated Scene” in the subject line of the e-mail.
  • All decisions by the judges are final.
  • The first place winner will receive a custom made wand donated by Wizard Wood Wands and 200 MyLeaky points.
