xd ULTIMATE AWESOME HARRY POTTER FANDOM TRIWIZARD CUP xd


Hello everyone and welcome to Spinner's first ever Ultimate Awesome Harry Potter... oh whatever. You read the title, I'm sure you've figured it out. smile I thought I'd liven things up here in (unless otherwise noted, or a dark wizard interferes...) in each round to show off their mad HP fan skillz- and a winner will be selected. That winner will get some ULTIMATE AWESOME HARRY POTTER FANDOM TRIWIZARD CUP PRIZES! Dudes, it's like WHOA!

The Third Tri-Wizard Tournament is underway! Congrats to our Champions!

On an unrelated note, I want to share THIS Mp3. It's a sweet version of "Hedwig's Theme" by some awesome musicians calling themselves "Advanced Potion Making". You should download it- and enjoy the awesomeness.

exclaim RULES exclaim
1. Once Spinner makes an announcement, or ruling- it's final. No whining, complaining, or appealing. It will only make you look goofy.
2. No attacking other players, or spectators. There's no need to hurl insults.
3. If you think this is dumb- you are free to explore any one of the JILLIONS of threads on gaia.
4. Please do not ask Spinner for handouts. Just because he is giving away prizes does not mean he is super rich.
5. Have fun and be respectful to others. This is way most important for sure.

[SpinnersEnd]

How to Enter/Play

**To ENTER**
**When we are accepting applicants (There can be only 3 per cup!) an announcement will be placed in the title of the thread. Check back frequently for updates and changes.
**There will be some manner of minor task for prospective applicants to do. This may just be a simple submission of an information form- but if the contest becomes popular- it might get a little tougher. (Like a trivia question etc.)
**Spinner will pick three applicants. (Maybe the first three to turn in a form, or the three who do the best and whatever task has been given.)
**Those three applicants will be posted in the thread- and probably PM'd as well.

**To PLAY**
*After the players have been notified- a task of some sort will be posted in the thread. This may be something as easy as "Find a picture of..." but it may get more involved like "Write 500 words about whether you think Snape is working for good or for awesome." The tasks will all be different.
*Players will only have a set amount of time to compelte each task. If you know you're leaving for baseball camp in two days- please don't apply. Wait for the next cup.
*After the entries have been recieved/ the deadline has passed - Spinner will judge the entries.
*Points will be handed out.
*After all the tasks are over- the entrant with the most points wins the cup - and some FAAABULOUS PRIZES!!!

heart PRIZES! heart

I know this is what everyone has been waiting for. Why would you want to even enter a silly contest? Well- for the prizes of course! Small prizes will be given out at the end of each round- and a giant prize will be given to the champion. biggrin

These will include things like gold, items, and probably sig banners/avvie art. SUPER SWEET!

Prizes for this Triwizard Championship will INCLUDE:
Winner of Round 1:G-Shades (any color) and 100 gold
Winner of Round 2: 3 random house items and 250 gold
Winner of Round 3: Some item (To be decided) and 500 gold
Triwizard Champion: 1000 gold, avatar sketch by Spinner, small "Champion" banner for their sig, and some awesome surprise...

For those of you curious as to what kind of avatar art you're getting, some recent sketchy examples are: Spinner's moody avatar sketch and Spinner's Remus Lupin (with beard yo!).

question F. A. Q. question

1. Why are you doing this?
I heart the Harry Potter series. Duh. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. I also have a chunk of gold, and not much to do with it. I wanted to create a lively thread and just be awesome to other gaians. It's about GIVING and enjoying a community. Yo.

2. Do I have to pay to enter? Is this like... a lottery or something?
No. This contest is 100% free to any entrants. See above.

3. Can I donate gold/prizes?
Sure. Spinner will happilly accept gold/items if you have something you'd like to donate. I'll even post your name next to your donation- and who knows- you might find a little 'somethin-somethin' in your PM box.


4. What if I'm not competing?
Feel free to chat it up in the thread! Comment on the entries! Cheer on your friends. Also- feel free to make suggestions for upcoming championships.

5. OMG IR TEH 1337 HrrTY POTTR FAN!11!!
Erm... possibly. Wanna prove it? wink


6. Harry Potter sucks. You suck. This is so lame.
hmm... wait- why are you even in this subforum?

Got a question? Go ahead and post/PM it. I'm friendly. Promise. smile

Working on this section. I will likely post threads of interest, and perhaps even some shops you might like to check out here. I will probably even add some outside links to webpages you should visit. Like Harry and the Potters!

Welcome everyone to the thurd ever Tri-Wizard Cup! We are now starting the first task!

Want to Support the Tri-Wiz Cup?

If you think this event is cool, and you'd like to see it continue and improve- there's a lot of ways you can support the tri-wizard cup. Spinner appreciates anything you do, from posting in the thread- to telling your friends! Here's a couple of things you can do to help out!

1. Post! Come to the thread! Chat it up! Spinner is really quite friendly and would love to get to know you. Posting keeps our thread on the front page of the HP forums and keeps people interested.

2. Put a banner/link in your siggy. If you have room in your sig (and I know some of you don't whee ) you can help us out tons by putting a banner (or a text link) in your siggy. There's a code in the links section above.

3. Donations! If you're feeling really hard-core and would like to donate, Spinner will accept anything. Got trash? Bugs? an old pair of shoes you think look dorky? 100 gold? Anything and everything is great.

4. Commission Spinner is available for quick art commissions. If you're interested in a sketch of your avatar, or perhaps some HP fanart- you can PM him and let him know. He's generally pretty reasonable about pricing, and this would definitely help out with offering more awesome prizes.

Spinner's Random Junk
(because I like showing off!)

These are images/fanart I've gotten from gaia and the like. These are not by me, they are things I have purchased in the minishops. PLEASE do not take the images that you have not paid for. I do not wish to get in trouble. I will do my best to credit the shops where I purchased my items- in case you would like to get your own.

FEED MY KNUFFELS!
My siggy changes relatively frequently, so feed my cute pets here please! crying
