Here are the rules and general information for this round.

Note: Rules subject to change. Changes will be highlighted in RED



Round TWO
Rules, Regulations, Categories & Other Important Stuff

General Rules:

- There are many types of art available to the Dramione community, not limited to manipulations or drawings. The Dramione Awards wishes to recognize the other side of the fandom, in addition to fanfiction. Without the beautiful manips, pictures, etc., the community would be much smaller and much less colorful.

- Should be a no-brainer, but this is a Draco/Hermione award community. All nominated art must contain either Draco, Hermione, or both as the main relationship. NO art with a romantic pairing other than Draco and Hermione

- Please read the FAQ before asking a question; your question may already be answered!

Q Who started this site?
A He Had It Coming! was created by Tonya. After a couple of rounds she handed the site over to Heidi, who ran it through round three and up to voting on round four. However, she soon when MIA and left the site without an administrator. juju_bean stepped in because she loved it too much to see it die, and because she knew other people out there wanted it to live.

floorcoaster took over the site in September of 2007 because she wants to see the excellent stories published since the last round get the recognition they deserve! We now have a wonderful team of people working with Floo: lovexfetish, elyaeru, kit_84, liltinybee, and drcjsnider.

Categories:

As mentioned, the nominees will be sorted into categories for the final voting. Categories will be determined based on the media used (drawn art, paint, manips, pencil, etc.), content (kiss, comedy, angst, etc.), topical (banner, wallpaper, etc.) and whatever else we come up with.

In addition, we welcome Draco-only and Hermione-only art. If there is another character in the picture, it will not be accepted.

There are many types of art available in the Dramione community. Nominations will be accepted for:

Any and all artwork --- manips, comics, pencil drawings, digital, etc.

All forms accepted --- wallpapers, banners, headers, etc. There will be no icons in the art awards because there is a wonderful icon community that runs regular challenges (dmhg_icontest). Plus, there are a LOT!!

Fanmixes (music compilations created with Draco and Hermione in mind)
