Challenge One: Choosing a Champion (50 points)
Each House will be responsible for selecting its own Champion. Champions may be chosen from any of the CANON CHARACTERS known (either from the books or from interviews/posts made by JKR) to be a member of one's respective House. For example, Hufflepuff House could select Tonks as their champion, but Ravenclaw could not. Characters whose Houses are not known or who did not attend Hogwarts may NOT be used.
Once a House’s members have chosen a Champion, they will need to create one OFFICIAL signature and avatar displaying their Champion. If the character selected appears in the Harry Potter movies, you may use images from the films. If they did not appear in the movies, you may select any actor/actress/celebrity to represent them. All graphics must (1) conform to normal forum graphics sizing and rating rules and (2) contain the name and image of your champion. The use of additional text or images is up to each house/the member who creates the graphics.
The name AND matching signature set must be posted in the Opening Feast thread, which will open at 5pm GMT+1 on August 15th. Make sure your graphics are completed no later than 5pm!
IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISPLAY YOUR IMAGES OR SHARE THE NAME OF YOUR CHAMPION UNTIL THE OPENING FEAST. DOING SO WILL LOSE YOUR HOUSE POINTS.
Once the Opening Feast thread has begun, one prefect from each house will be required to make a post announcing the Champion their House has selected (more details on how to do this will be provided on August 6th). And make sure as many of your House Members as possible are online to attend the feast, as there will be an opportunity during the event to earn more points.
How you go about selecting your Champion and which image set to use is up to each House. You can create discussion threads, polls, have multiple people make graphics and vote for the best, etc. Whatever you decide to do, just make sure you do it fast!
*You may use this thread to ask about THIS challenge only. Spamming or giving away House secrets will result in point deductions.
