Editor's Note: The allocation of finals have been changed to better reflect the demographics of worldwide quidditch. If no finalist emerges from any group, the judges will make an extra selection

The remaining six finalists will be determined by the judges.

Judges: All interested judges should email the Quidditch Post explaining why they should be chosen. Judges will be announced on Nov. 5.

Prizes: At the moment, there are no prizes; however, anyone interested in sponsoring the contest should email the Quidditch Post.

Voting: Individuals may vote for their selection by liking the image on our Facebook page. Individuals may vote for as many uniforms as they like.

Finals: The finals will occur following the preliminary round. The winner from among the 25 finalists will be determined by two components. The judges’ votes will make up half of the final rankings. A voting round (again composed of liking a team’s photo on the Quidditch Post’s Facebook page) will the other half of the final ranking.

Questions: If there are any questions, please contact the Quidditch Post, and we will do what we can to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
