Prof. Maxim Trevelyan 34 Posted September 13 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 "Celebration at Godric’s Hollow to mark the 1,100th anniversary of Godric Gryffindor's birth", so channel your inner bard (or party planner) and join us for a month of fun. Gryfftoberfest is an annual celebration where all of the 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 2024". 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 Friday, September 27th 2024. Share this post Link to post
