Harry Potter Bookmark Contest


Hermione has been reading a few (dozen) books and has run out of bookmarks to mark her place in each one. Or maybe that pesky Peeves is playing a nasty joke on her…she thought she had more! Please help Hermione by designing a bookmark with a Harry Potter theme.

General Guidelines
  • Entries must be submitted by individuals only. Collaboration will not be allowed for this contest.
  • All work must be original. Any entries found to contain the work of others will be disqualified.
  • By entering this contest, you give Leaky and its readers the right to print out your bookmark design for their own use. It will not be used for profit.
  • This contest is open to readers all over the world who are 13 years of age and over, as well as members of Leaky staff who are not involved in the adjudication process.
  • The first place winner will receive a custom made wand donated by Wizard Wood Wands. All decisions by the judges are final.
  • Please e-mail your submissions to contests@the-leaky-cauldron.org by 11:59 pm ET on November 30th. Please place in the e-mail header “Bookmark”.
  • Please refer to our FAQ if you are not sure of something.
  • 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.

Bookmark
  • Each entry must present a design for a bookmark, including an illustration and /or text with a Harry Potter theme.
  • The back of the bookmark does not have to be designed, but credit must be given on the back of the bookmark if a quote is used.
  • Please make sure your bookmark is approximately the standard size for a bookmark (2x6 inches or 5x15.2 centimeters). Please use 90 pixels/inch or 35.43 pixels/cm if you are creating your image where it allows you to pick your pixel resolution.
  • Original photos, hand drawn art, and computer generated art will be accepted. Photographs not taken by the entrant, photos used without permission, and manipulated photographs (e.g., Harry Potter movie image) will not be accepted.
  • Please provide a short description of how you created your bookmark (e.g., what is computer generated, what is hand drawn, etc) and/or where you obtained your photos (e.g., photo I took on vacation in England).
  • Submissions will be accepted in .jpg, .png, or .gif format.
  • Please submit a front and back to your bookmark. If you submit two separate files, please have the file sizes be combined to less than 1 MB.
  • Please include a name to be used for authorship (e.g. Leaky Lounge name or real name) when the entry is submitted.

There's been an addition to the rules!

The addition:
Please provide a short description of how you created your bookmark (e.g., what is computer generated, what is hand drawn, etc) and/or where you obtained your photos (e.g., photo I took on vacation in England).

If you've already submitted an entry, please go ahead and resubmit your entry with the description.

Also, as a general reminder, this contest is looking for original artwork. That means no manipulated photos or the use of photos you do not own or have not received permission for (unless it's public domain) are allowed for this contest. This is a big difference from most of our art contests.

Any questions on logistics of what we mean, please feel free to ask or e-mail. You can even ask in your e-mail with your entry and we'll respond. We're pretty good about offering help, but entries that do not follow rules will be DQ'd.

Good luck to everyone and have fun!
