Please PM nominations to both.
PM competition entries only to the round host.

Well I'm sure you're all familiar with Anna and Ern's SS School RPG Competition or Ameh and Roro's SS!RPG Contest of Profile Picture Wonderment and Joy. While this is similar to the first in that we'll be making Signatures here, this is completely different in that we'll be shamelessly offering promotion to Ministry, Diagon Alley, and Daily Prophet Characters! Graphic makers will have the opportunity to compete for a first, second or third place (contest banner) prize which will be determined by popular vote. Each round, we'll choose one of the characters that have been nominated and post the challenge; you will then have four days to PM your entries to the current round host. The awesome part is that if your Ministry RPG Character is chosen for our competition's model, then you'll get to keep some AWESOME signatures.

SS Ministry, Diagon Alley, and Daily Prophet Characters only! (There are at least two other competitions for the School Characters!)
Characters chosen for the competitions must be active members of the Ministry RPG. This means that they must have posted more than that one time a few weeks ago in their respective area's filing cabinet.
In an effort to allow as many characters as possible to chosen to "model" for the cometitions, then we'll be rotating the location of where the character works.
Please highly consider nominating a friend's character as a "model"; while self-nominations are not necessarily a bad thing, it's more fun when someone nominates you then nominating yourself. Please PM the following form to BOTH RaRaRachieee and Orchideae [one nomination per PM, please]:

Ha HAAAAA! About time we had a Ministry contest going - and I'm glad this is for signatures too. Great idea, Jess & Ama, to start this thing up! AND you included the Daily Prophet!

MoviegoerKinz · 07-25-2009, 03:14 AM

This is brilliant! I was literally just thinking, "Why isn't there a Ministry contest?" How ironic? Is it going to go in order like the Hogwarts Houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Staff, etc.), but like Ministry, Diagon Alley, Daily Prophet? Like some sort of rotation! This is really bloody brilliant! You two a geniuses!

*PhoenixRising* · 07-25-2009, 03:25 AM

Thanks Roro!

A rotation similar to that yes, but there are more characters in the Ministry than DA and DP... So there will need to be more Ministry models, obviously. =]

*patiently awaits nominations*

MoviegoerKinz · 07-25-2009, 03:43 AM

Perhaps by levels? That would be a long rotation though.

Winter Dreams · 07-25-2009, 03:50 AM

Oooh, coolness. I really like this idea, Jess and Ama! It's cool to be Ministry, DA and Daily Prophet.

Can't wait to see who is first.

Also, are we allowed to nominate, or will you tell us when we can?

Meh Reh · 07-25-2009, 04:00 AM

-has just sent a PM for nominations-

Anna Banana · 07-25-2009, 04:11 AM

Yay, Ama and Jess!!! I'm glad this was started, as I think it will be fun and a great way to get the MoM more involved.

I look forward to the first round!!

Tommehbell · 07-25-2009, 04:32 AM

Lissy Longbottom · 07-25-2009, 05:46 AM

Hehehehe....

Anyway, how are you guys doing on nominations? I know a couple people I could nominate if need be. =3

SilverTiger · 07-26-2009, 08:58 AM

I so wanted graphics competitions for MoM/DA/DP! And now they exist! ~~So doesn't have a lack of DA charrie sigs, etc.~~

*contemplates nominating* I dont wanna think too hard right now on descriptions, since I'm kinda sleep-deprived.

But possibly expect something soon.

Nabs · 07-26-2009, 09:04 AM

WOW this is going to be one extensive and complex process! lol I'm looking forward to this, great idea ladies, can't wait to see who the first nom is!

Daffy.Potter · 07-26-2009, 04:10 PM

Sneakeh Cat · 07-26-2009, 04:30 PM

Wow. I'm excited about this.

*PhoenixRising* · 07-27-2009, 03:21 AM

So we've received quite a few nominations so far and I thank you all for your support in this new contest. With that said, while we'll still be accepting nominations, it's time to get this started with our first nominee:

Ministry RPG Contest One: Bella Greingoth

Department Head of Magical Transportation

Nominated by: unicornkeeper07, Anna Banana, and Miss Lissy Lou

This character would be a good choice to model for the competition, because: Bella is fairly new as the Department Head, but she is right on top of things. She will gladly assist you in any way, and is always open to new ideas to improve the department.
Bella's a recently hired department head, so she's fairly new to the whole "MoM" world. She could use a few good siggies to welcome her in. I think she's a friendly, easy to get along with boss, too. She really appreciates her employees and all her co-workers in the MoM.
Details about the character that will assist graphics-makers with creating their profile picture: (From Filing Cabinet) Interests: Wonder Witch Beauty Products (Make-up, perfume, hair products), Gold jewelry, Cute, cuddly baby crups, Anything dealing with the Carribeans, Wrock Music (Wizard Rock), The latest fashions (as shown in Witch Weekly), Surprises
From Anna's profile - Bella Montez Greingoth, a former Gryffindor, is the current Head of the Department of Magical Transportation in the MoM. She is married to Alexander Salazar Greingoth (a former Slytherin played by Simon Cowell) and has one child, Anna Bella Greingoth (current Head Girl and female Gryffindor prefect played by Vanessa Hudgens). In addition to her MoM duties, she also teaches Apparition at Hogwarts. Hmm...she's the former shopkeeper of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, and she was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
She's very fashionable, and mother of current Head Girl Anna Greingoth. She's new to the Ministry and very outgoing and wild

*bounces around in excitement*

MoviegoerKinz · 07-27-2009, 03:49 AM

Oh, yay!

Congratulations!

I'm so glad you were chosen. If only I still had photoshop I would enter, but I'm sure you'll get many (and well-deserved) entries!

Good luck to everyone who enters!
