WHAT IS THIS?
The Hogwarts Contest is a contest based off of Harry Potter and the point system of the Houses of Hogwarts. Basically, you enter, you get “sorted”, and then you and your House work together to win by the end of the year! There are no eliminations or individual winners; your House works together as one.

The Hogwarts Contest is a contest based off of Harry Potter and the point system of the Houses of Hogwarts. Basically, you enter, you get “sorted”, and then you and your House work together to win by the end of the year! There are no eliminations or individual winners; your House works together as one.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Once we get the sorting out of the way, you’ll be added to the Common Room of your House (through Google Circles). There, you will meet all of your group members. You can stay in the Circle, or you can collectively agree to move to a website (but I, the overseer, must be included so I can oversee everything). You’ll all be allowed to recruit, but you can’t go over the Maximum occupancy of the House (50). Recruitment is definitely encouraged, since you want to have as many people as you possibly can if you want to split the work.
- There will be 10 rounds: 1 round per month. For every round, each House must submit 10 entries. There won’t be a penalty for if you don’t have 10 entries, but each entry is worth ten points, so every video is worth it.
- You and your House will have to decide on who will do which challenges. Or, you can all do the challenge and vote on the 10 best. Anything goes, as long as you get all 10 entries to me by the deadline.
- I will be posting all of the challenges about the same time you’ll be “sorted” and getting to know each other, so you can plan ahead. You can even start videos before then, but I will only accept them the month the challenge is taking place.
- Make sure you all follow the Rules. - For the last two months, your goal is to come up with a collaborative project. This can be a collab, a mashup of videos with a common theme, etc. I will brief everyone of this more efficiently when we get everything started (I’ll explain it all in May at the latest; and it’ll be due in mid-December).
HOW TO ENTER:
- Be sure you’re on the YT audition video for the official channel (The Hogwarts Contest). You’ll be submitting your audition in the comments.
- Take this quiz (http://share.snacktools.com/FAFAC56569B/q7u8om8p) and tell me your results.
- Tell me what house YOU personally would like to be in, as well as give me a reason. (You feel like your quiz result isn’t accurate; your YT friend is in a different house; etc.)
- Link me to your favourite video that you’ve ever made. It can be anything; I just want to see the kind of video you’re the happiest with. I’ll be going through several of your videos to fit you into the right House.
- Make sure you regularly check notifications and all that. When the Auditions are over, I’ll be adding you to two circles: One for the contest as a whole, and one for your House’s common room.
