Contest dates:
Contest starts June 21, 2003 and ends on September 23, 2003. 

PRIZE:
There won't be a major prize, okay? I'm not exactly the richest girl in the world. The prize is that I will draw any HP art you will ask of me just for you. Since this is my first contest with only 4 entries, I've decided to be generous. I'll draw 4 artworks for the 1st placer, 3 for the 2nd, 2 for the 3rd and 1 for the 4th. So basically, everyone is a winner! This is only for now, okay? If the winners do not respond to my e-mail within 30 days, the prize will be split with the other contestants. But there are rules too, for the prize:

1.) I will not grant requests of couples other than the ff: Harry/Hermione; Draco/Ginny; Lily/James. I may consider other couples if the negotiation between me and the winner is good.
2.) Solo pictures of certain characters are fine with me
3.) All characters in your request should be found in the book. No fan-based characters please
4.) I won't grant requests on hogwarts castle or hogsmeade town or any building structures. Let's stick with characters K?
5.) I will definitely NOT grant any requests that involve R-18 material. You know what I mean. No skin, okay? Let's keep it clean. I'd hate to receive hate mails from concerned parents
6.) I have the right to ask for a change in request if I am not at all comfortable with the one the winner gives.

You may be thinking, "C'mon. You said we could have any request!" But of course, we have to set some rules. Oh, and one more thing, the winner can rest assured that her/his request WILL be granted.
