I announce the return of Blue's Showdown for 2008! Since Vday falls in the middle of this week, and most people will want to do art for it, I propose that we have a Super Showdown to kick this round off with! This means that you will be able to submit entries from now until Sunday, the 17th of February.

The keyword for this round is "umbrella" (Hah! Thought I would choose something like "love" didn't you?!).

To refresh you guys on the rules, and to guide newcomers, I have prepared an updated Showdown Rundown.

Please do spread it around, and involve all your friends who are into HP!

And while we're on the subject of Vday:
