The Leaky Cauldron's Fan Art Gallery has recently reopened! To celebrate, The Leaky Cauldron invites you to participate in a new Fan Art Contest. We are looking for original artwork based upon Deathly Hallows.
Fan Art Competition
Artist Requirements:- Depict a scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, include a brief description of 100 words or less, referencing the scene and chapter title.
- There is a strict PG-13 rating for all artworks and must abide to the Fan Art Gallery Rules
- There will be two categories for submissions:
1. Hand-Drawn - submissions must be drawings or paintings.
2. Computer-Generated or Digital Art - submissions must be drawing or painting-based. - You must specify which category your art fits into – any use of a computer program whatsoever upon your art (except for necessary resizing) will require it to be classed as ‘computer generated’.
- Photographs or manipulated photographs will not be accepted.
- Animated entries will not be accepted.
- If you wish to submit an entry in the form of a comic strip, it must contain no more than 5 frames.
- If you wish to include text in your entry (e.g. speech bubbles) it must be canon – i.e. the words spoken by the character/s in the book
- You may create your piece using any two-dimensional medium, but must specify the medium/s used in its creation.
- All submissions must be solely the artist’s creation; any artwork found to include the work of others will be disqualified immediately.
- Submissions will be accepted in .jpg, .png, or .gif format.
- All submissions must be both a) e-mailed to contests@the-leaky-cauldron.org with the category included in the subject line (i.e. "DH Fan Art - Hand Drawn” or “DH Fan Art - Computer Generated”) and b) Included in your fanart portfolio in the Leaky Fan Art Gallery, and tagged "Deathly Hallows Fan Art Contest".
- Deadline for submissions is 11:59 p.m. EST
September 30, 2007 Sunday, October 14th - Please refer to our FAQ if you are not sure of something or to the Fan Art Gallery FAQ if it is in regards to the gallery.
- If you have any questions, not answered on the FAQ, or would like to discuss this Contest, then please come to the Contest Corner Forum of The Leaky Lounge.
*Please see the next post about the current situation with the Fan Art Gallery
*Please see this post about the extension for entries
Judging:- There will be a limit of two entries per person to make the competition fair for everyone.
- Three winners will be chosen from each submission category based upon their interpretation of the scene from the book.
- Anyone over the age of 13 can submit a Fan Art, including Staff members who are not involved in the judging process.
- Only one person from Staff will receive the submissions, and will remove the artist’s name before they are passed on to the Judges.
- All decisions by our Judges are final.

We have a side note on the contest rules!
It currently asks for everyone to e-mail all submissions to the contest e-mail address and submit it to your Leaky Fan Art Portfolio with the proper tag. Right now, though the FA Gallery is up, it is not taking new members. That feature is currently down. For the time being, please continue to submit your entries to the contest e-mail address (contests@the-leaky-cauldron.org). No one will be penalized for not submitting their entry to the FA Gallery. If you're already a member, please submit your work to the FA Gallery and tag it as usual and e-mail your entries to the contest e-mail address!
We'll post here when the FA Gallery is taking new members. 
If you have any questions regarding the contest or not sure where to ask in regards to the contest, please ask here. If you have any questions regarding the Fan Art Gallery (tagging, uploading issues, etc) please ask in the FA Gallery help thread.
Thanks for the understanding!

Wow! The hand drawn winners were absolutely amazing. Well done, all of you! (I personally had Some Late Visitor's drawing of Snape and Lily in the trees pegged as the winner  )
