By answering the question “Why is my class extraordinary?”, you could be part of a group on a three-day, two-night trip to the opening celebration festivities of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal’s Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida.
The judging criteria is based on the following: Originality and Creativity (30%), Responsiveness to Question (30%), Camera Readiness (20%), and Clarity of Communication (20%).

The deadline for entries is March 19. Winners will be chosen through online voting from April 23 to 29. [Editor's note: This would indicate that the Wizarding World will open in either May or June.] Complete rules can be found here.

Also, the Wizarding World's official site has been revamped, featuring concept art for all the attractions, including the shops, rides, and Hogwarts castle. The images can be seen in our galleries.

It's going to be opening in May then, because June's in the summer. Right?
Also, that's an awesome prize for whoever wins.

Nixy! 02-03-2010 07:50 PM

Wow, that's such an interesting contest, I wish all of the teachers entering it a lot of luck! :D I know one teacher on SS who will probably be entering it :shifty:

Aaahh, It's a shame though, because I'm NEVER going to be able to afford to go there. :(

BonnieGinnyfan 02-03-2010 08:10 PM

Cool!!

TeachUmWell 02-03-2010 08:19 PM

This is great. I wonder if they mean that the entire class has to write it or just the teacher.

Just looked at the rules and it has to be the teachers because you have to be 21 or older.

Patronus Charm 02-03-2010 08:21 PM

PatInTheHat 02-03-2010 08:26 PM

veggie_potter 02-03-2010 10:48 PM

Aw, thats great... Good luck to those who enter!

James_Potter 02-03-2010 11:15 PM

I'm a Junior in high school but there's no way I'd find a teacher who'd....oh wait, I think I can. :evil: But she's a middle school teacher. :shifty:

This is a very confusing contest, to me, but it's very interesting! Good luck to whoever enters.

princess of*hp* 02-04-2010 12:04 AM

Great! If I was still in second grade, I would try to get my class to enter b/c that year my teacher had us read the first novel (from then I became a fanatic :lol:). But considering that I'm in high school, I don't know if I could convince any of my six classes to go. Besides, even if I was able to get us entered, people who vote online'll probably vote for the cute little kids. But still, good luck to all who enter!
