Harry Potter Fanfiction Contest

July 5, 2018

If you have always wished that Hogwarts had sent you a letter, this is your chance to make your mark on the Harry Potter universe. In honor of Harry Potter’s birthday (July 31), we’re excited to announce that we’ll host a Harry Potter fanfiction contest for the month of July!

Write us a quick story within the Harry Potter universe using either existing characters or characters you’ve created. The WritersDomain team is very excited to see your submissions!

Prizes

Winner: $75
2 Runners-up: $25

Final Submission Due Date

You must submit your story to the form below by 8 a.m. MST on Monday, July 23.

Word Count Limit

Submit only one-shot stories. Your story can be up to 3,000 words. We will disqualify stories that go over the word limit, so keep it snappy.

Announcement of Winners

We will announce contest winners on the blog on July 30.

Fanfiction Advice

If you’re not experienced with fanfiction, you may not know where to start. We’ve compiled some resources for you:

  • For a general fanfiction overview with tips, read through this Wikihow.
  • For inspiration, read through Harry Potter fanfiction on these websites:
    • Mugglenet
    • Fanfiction
    • Archive of Our Own
    • Harry Potter Fanfiction
    • Make Sure Your Fan Fiction Is Legal (Or Regret It Later)

We understand that fanfiction can get close to copyright infringement. This contest is only offering prize money—we are not buying your work—so there should be no danger of infringement of any kind. To be safe, consider crafting unique characters that interact in the Wizarding world.

As always, keep our general contest rules in mind, and remember that WritersDomain does not accept explicit content.

If you have questions about this contest, please email us at [email protected]

This contest is now closed. Winners will be announced on July 30.
