Announcing the 9th Annual Harry/Draco Art Fest!

[hd_fanart_mods]

It's time to get your art prompts ready for the 2016 Harry/Draco Art Fest!!!

The H/D Art Fest is a November Harry/Draco fest where everyone is invited to submit a prompt. Artists can choose to claim a prompt or work from their own inspiration (self-prompt). All artworks must be related to H/D, new, and created specifically for the fest.

This year for H/D Art Fest 2016, we will be making some changes to give artists more control over their art and comments, and to make it more accessible for artists from other platforms.

This year, there will be 3 changes to our fest:

• The fest will not be anonymous. Artist identities will be disclosed.
• The entries will be self-posted. Artist can post their artworks directly to hd_fanart or they can choose to submit a header to the mods with a link to their artwork on their personal journals, Tumblr, or AO3.
• Artist are allowed to self-prompt or claim their own prompt during the sign-ups.

Dates:

Prompting - July 1 to July 10 (over)
Claiming - July 10 to Oct 14 (over)
Posting period - All November

Prompting: Prompting Post will be up on July 1 till 12am GMT July 10

• Each person, artist and non-artist, is allowed to submit up to five prompts.
• For a look at last year's prompts, go here. Feel free to resubmit your prompt from last year if it wasn't claimed.

Prompt Claiming & Sign-Ups: Claiming Post will be up at 2pm GMT on Sunday, July 10th till October 7th

• To sign up, fill and submit the form given.
