Prof. Maxim Trevelyan 33 Posted September 14, 2023 The best time of the year is coming! We call upon all of HOL, students and staff alike, to submit mottos for our annual Gryfftoberfest! This year, our theme is "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and mischief", so ready your best thought-out pranks and join us for a month of fun. Gryfftoberfest is an annual celebration where all of Gryffindor house and our friends come together for a month long party of butterbeer and craziness! Mottos should represent our theme and Gryffindor as a whole! There are some rules, of course... Keep your mottos to 15 words or less and entirely HOL appropriate. You must be happy for people to reuse your motto on signatures and other creative submissions. You will earn 5 rubies per Motto for the first 5 you submit (so 25 in all). You can submit more for consideration but you will not earn rubies for them. Third place will win an extra 10 rubies, second place an extra 15 and first place an extra 20 rubies for your gem collection. Winners are decided by the Gryffindor staff. Send your mottos to me (Prof. Maxim Trevelyan) in a Gryff PM and title it "Motto Contest 2023". Remember to include your name and your house in the message. Please try to send all your mottos in one or two messages so my inbox does not stage a revolt. The deadline is 11:59 PM HOL time on Thursday, September 28th 2023. 2 Share this post Link to post
