EA in conjunction with the
Spanish Metro newspaper are running a contest wherein one lucky fan will win the chance to be featured in the
Half-Blood Prince video game as a portrait!
Although this competition was announced in a Spanish publication anyone of any nationality can enter. The winner will also be invited down to EA's Bright Light studios and will be given a free copy of the game. Five finalists will also receive a game.
All you have to do is send your photo to the following email address;
promociones@ea.com with 'Contest: Harry Potter Photo' as your subject heading. Photos will be judged according to originality, humor and magical atmosphere. Entrants under the age of 18 need to include the name of a parent or guardian.
But be quick! The competition closes in a few hours time!
