Attention all Severus Big Bang artists and crafters! The deadline for submissions is November 15th.

Do not panic if you're going to miss the deadline. Email snapeartist@gmail.com and let the mods know, we'll try very hard to sort something out.

The maximum size for submitted images is 1024 pixels high by 1024 pixels wide. The maximum file size is 1.5MB. JPEG and PNG file formats are acceptable. Images/photos will be displayed on LiveJournal and InsaneJournal with a click-through to a larger version. Images should be emailed to: snapeartist@gmail.com. Please note the dedicated email address for art and craft submissions.

Because of the potential file sizes and the more specialist requirements, we are asking participants to sort out the hosting of film and music files themselves. Fanvids and music should be uploaded to a sharing host and a link provided, along with information on embedding, by emailing snapeartist@gmail.com by November 15th. We do not take responsibility for the hosting sites or their format.
