Introducing the 100 Themed Grab Bags Challenge NOW OPEN in Madame Malkins!
 

Looking to improve your graphic making skills? Need another outlet for all your creative energies? Madame Malkin's now has a challenge forum just for you - introducing the 100 Themed Grab Bags Challenge Forum, aka The Sketch Pad!

So what exactly is this challenge all about? Based off the 100 Drabbles competition in the Gringott's forum, the Madame Malkin's mods have all worked together to come up with a list of 100 themes, and your challenge is to create a grab bag based off every one of those themes. Some of them will really be a challenge for our graphic makers, so get your thinking caps on!

The rules can be found in THIS thread here. Once you've read the rules and are familiar with the way the competition is run, head on over to the sign up thread, and simply wait for the PM from a MM's mod giving you permission to create your thread.

Each member participating in the challenge gets their own thread in The Sketch Pad forum to post their grab bags. Each grab bag must have a minimum of FIVE icons, but if you're feeling really creative, feel free to create more! Another great feature to this competition? All the grab bags you make can be used by other members if you give them permission. However, if you don't want people to use the icons you make and would rather use the challenge thread as a portfolio, that's perfectly fine as well!

If you have any questions at all, please PM one of the three MM's mods - Nabs, cake.ninjak, or Lissy Longbottom, or post in this thread here and one of the mods will answer your question for you. Good luck and happy graphicing!
