Let us know how you found out about our contests! We would also love any suggestions that you have for future contests, and you can check out our Contest Feedback thread if you have any questions. Thanks!

Well, I could have clicked all of them except the bottom two if you could choose multiple items, the contests are pretty widely advertised so I knew about them from numerous sources.

Um... I've never actually participated in a contest, but I did find information about it...

Posted by: JeffHpFan Aug 16 2007, 12:18 PM

I'm the same way, sadly. I've always wanted to enter, but never have gotten around to it, sadly.

me too, but I think part of the reason is that I'm so new to the site...

Well I read it on the announcements section.

It's great that you've seen most of the ways we advertise! We know that once you find us, you'll generally see most of the options we've given - but what we're looking for is which you saw first. What first made you check out the Contests?




Please don't be afraid to jump right in, even if you are new! We here at Leaky welcome "newbies" wholeheartedly - it's great getting new ideas and fresh perspectives all the time! And also, nobody will know that you are new when you enter a Contest.

JeffHpFan, I challenge you to enter this month's contest! Instead of putting it off until "tomorrow", do it the very next time you are reading in here.

I read it on the Leaky Cauldron. Some winners had been announced andI wondered what was going on! So I investigated and searched the whole site and finally discovered what the contests were!!

I have taken part in the contests and they're lovely!! The topics are great.

I was just browsing around. I was really looking for the auditions for the theatre troupe and stumbled onto the contest for the Ron (my favorite character!!) wizarding card. I'm still looking for the auditions. I haven't listened to the lastest podcast yet, just downloaded it. Hopefully it will say on it. I'm hoping to enter the Ron Wizarding Card contest.

Well I probably shouldnt admit that this is the first time I've even been in here lol but, what made me first check out the Contests was a thread posted in Daily Prophet Offices (where I get all my news from, I'd kind of be lost without it)

i found it in the links in the forum when the sorting hat songs were posted! oh those were fun!

Same here! Every month I plan an entry but never get around to following through. I really wish I could, they're always such great concepts.

I found out through Google when I was searching for something entirely different, funnily enough. I can't remember what it was, but I visited, entered the competition and became a member

I check the news daily, but neglected the forum for almost a year. Decided to get back on board starting with the contest. I forgot how much fun the Leaky Forum was!
