May Contest – Salute to the Fallen Heroes Although May 2, 2008 marks the 10th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, as loyal fans, many of us have had less than a year to mourn the deaths of some of our favorite [most beloved?] characters in the Harry Potter series. In honor of these fallen heroes, our May contest is an invitation for you to write an eulogy* of up to 50 words about the HP character of your choice. You will not be limited solely to those who were killed in the Battle of Hogwarts, but can select any character who was killed at any point in the series. *Eulogy (from www.dictionary.com) 1. a speech or writing in praise of a person or thing, esp. a set oration in honor of a deceased person. 2. high praise or commendation. Rules for Entrants: 1) Write an eulogy of up to 50 words about your favorite character in the Harry Potter series. You may write the eulogy in any form (e.g. poem, speech, prose, etc). You may submit entries for up to two characters. 2) There is a strict PG-13 rating for the epitaphs. 3) All work must be original. 4) All decisions by the judges are final. 5) Anyone over the age of 13 may enter the contest including staff members who are not involved in the judging process. 6) All submissions must be e-mailed to contests@the-leaky-cauldron.org by May 25, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. EDT with "Fallen Heroes" in the subject line of the e-mail. Please copy-paste the eulogy into the body of the e-mail and include a name to be used for authorship (real name or Leaky Lounge name). 7) Please refer to our FAQ if you are not sure of something. 8) If you have any questions not answered on the FAQ, or would like to discuss this Contest, please come to the Contest Corner forum of The Leaky Lounge.
