hogwartsishomeBelow is the application for Tri-Wizard Tournament Champion; we'd like to get that out of the way before HBP comes out because that will make it easier for us to move forward with the planning. The applications will be due the 14th of July and we will attempt to announce the Champions on the 15th. We will be choosing one champion and one alternate from each community.
The Tournament will take place from August 7-20th. That is a space of two weeks.
Tentatively, there will be ten challenges, one of which will be a community-wide challenge. (Don't worry, we'll try to keep them fairly simple).
In addition, we are considering a "Yule Ball" which will be an RPG mixer between the three communities. Finally, the Champions will have three "lifelines" like in Who Wants to be a Millionaire which will be simple-answer questions that the entire community is invited to answer. For example, if the Champions were engaged in a debate, the Champion could ask the community "what date was the Magna Carta signed" but could not ask "I need ideas for how to argue this point!"
Unfortunately, to prevent conflict of interest, we decided that the champion may only belong to one of the three participating sorting communities.
And without further ado, below the cut is the application. These are due the 14th of this month. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask -- all of the comments will be screened.
1. Name
2. How long have you been a member? (For "seniority" purposes similar to those in the book, candidates who have been members for longer will be favored, though by no means are a sure bet)
3. What are your favorite online activities?
4. Show us a sample of the graphic and writing work you are most proud of (please include both)
5. If you have any other work you would like to show, like webpages or anything else you can think of that might help us make a decision, please include those as well.
6. Think about a negative past experience and tell us how it affected you. What did you learn from it? If you could go back and change it now, would you?
7. You've been asked to invent a new spell to be taught at Hogwarts. What is the name of the spell, what does it do, and what is the incantation?
8. What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
9. What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
10. Which class at Hogwarts would be the easiest for you and why?
11. Which class at Hogwarts would be the most challenging or hardest for you and why?
12. To the best of your knowledge, will you be available from August 7-20? We understand that there may be unexpected emergencies, computer crashes, etc. However, we can't have anyone suddenly change their minds because this would be difficult to plan around.
13. For our future reference, give us a schedule of the approximate times you are normally online for each day of the week.
14. Your email:
15. Any IM clients you have, and your screen names:
I know this is a lot at once -- we've got our countdown contests, the HUGE HBP contest.. and all that plus the end of term. But I know you guys are awesome and can handle it like pros!! Let's make HiH proud!
