[Announcement] Anniversary 2018 Winners and Surprises!

A MULTITUDE OF THANKS
The Administration & Moderation Team would like to thank everyone for celebrating 15 YEARS OF MAGIC on Magical Hogwarts! We hope that you all had a lot of fun and enjoyed not only threading in the past, but also all the other contests and activities. We can't thank you enough for making this an enjoyable time for all of us.


WHAT'S NEXT
Considering the popularity and success of the timeturner board, we have decided to keep it permanently, with conditions similar to the ones we've placed in our rent-a-canon event. Please check the new rules here. As such, you will not only be able to continue your timeturner threads, but also start new ones. Of course, your rent-a-canon threads will also be available to be continued and finished, but they have been moved in the new timeturner board. NC17 timeturner threads have also been moved to the regular NC17 board. Regarding the FPP points, if you submit a request for a thread that has been started during the anniversary, please make sure to check the plot box, and to leave a note stating as such.


ANNIVERSARY WINNERS
For poll, trivia, and the group shippers layouts contest winners, please check the following posts of this announcement.

POLL WINNERS
The Administration Team would like to thank each and every one of you for nominating and voting in the polls! We had a lot of polls this year and many of them were new and different, so congratulations to each of the winners. Below you'll find graphical representations of these winnings that are yours to keep, put in signatures or in your shipper, etc.


HONORABLE MENTIONS
This year, considering that there were so many noteworthy nominations in the polls, we've rolled out a new feature. Below the winners underneath a header are banners for some honorable mentions, mostly characters/drivers that were nominated in categories with many different options and ones that we thought also deserved a little bit of recognition. Honorable mentions will also get the shiny badge that goes with winning a category in the polls.


HOUSEKEEPING
As usual, please upload each of your graphics to your own hosting on mhrpg.org.
