Tenth Time's the Charm!

HEX Idol is back with a bang! Now into its tenth edition, the singing contest is still going strong. Similar to any televised singing contest, it will begin with auditions. Details of these can be found in this thread. Please pay close attention to the rules, especially the first one which states that 'Due to COPPA restrictions, you must either be at least 13 years of age or have parental permission in order to audition.'

If you don't feel like entering, or didn't make it past auditions, do not despair! Throughout the competition, their will be the opportunity to complete audience activities, wear the event avatar and even chat for the chance of tickets. Doesn't get any better than that, does it? Well, think again. There are all sorts of amazing prizes up for grabs in the Participation Raffle.

So, slither forwards my Snake friend. Let's see a Slytherin crowned HEX's next singing sensation!
