Welcome to the Brainstorming Thread of the Contest Corner! We asked you what type of contests you like. Now we're asking for your ideas!

This thread is here for those who have contest ideas they want to share with us. It's a place where you can place your ideas, have others critique your ideas (is it plausible? Would you participate? How would you add/tweak the idea?), and perhaps get your ideas made into actual contests!

If the Contest Team finds an idea we like, we will use that idea and create an actual contest for everyone to participate in. The person who came up with the initial idea will be awarded a Wizard Wood Wand and given credit for the idea when the contest is announced and used. If a contest evolves by the contribution of many people, the people who contributed significantly to the contest idea will be placed into a drawing for the wand. Please remember that just naming your contest idea (e.g. create a Chocolate Frog card) is swell and all, but doesn't really help anyone in understanding
your vision of the contest. Therefore, please give us more than just the name or one-liner about your contest idea.

So...Get your thinking caps on and start brainstorming or suggesting contests you'd like to see or participate in!

These are all really great! Here are a few of my favorites:

How about a contest writing an advertising jingle or commercial for your shop (or an existing shop) in either Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley. I for one would love to hear some more advertising from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes! party.gif

.....Design a new statue for the Ministry of Magic post-DH and name it. happy.gif

1: Well I thought maybe the story could be that there was a new triwizard tournament beggining and you work at the department of magical games and sports. They need you to give in the three tasks that will be involved. Included the clues that are needed to work it. It could be all 3 tasks or just one including the clues.

Here are a few more from me...

*Harry and Voldemort have a gift; they are Parselmouths, and can both speak and understand the language of snakes. Tonks has another Wizarding gift; she's a Metamorphmagus, and can change her appearance at will. Perhaps there could be a contest to describe a Wizarding gift that is not mentioned in canon. An option could be to mention an HP character who (previously unknown to us) has this gift and how they have used it in their lives.

*We Muggles are pretty clever, devising a multitude of techno-gadgets that run on ekeltricity in order to overcome our lack of magic. I think it would be fun to have a contest to design a magical way for a wizard to either overcome a problem or enjoy some fun that we Muggles have already solved with technology -- anything from a Wizarding version of texting a friend to playing video games to vacuuming your carpet.
