There isn't one correct way to turn The Hierophant into a Dramione card.

Some ideas you might explore:

• Draco and pureblood traditions
• Family expectations and inherited beliefs
• Hermione questioning rules or established institutions
• Choosing your own values over the ones you were raised with
• Knowledge, learning and mentorship
• Hogwarts or the Ministry
• Social hierarchy
• Breaking generational patterns
• Marriage, vows, ritual or formal bonds
• Belonging to a community while questioning its beliefs

These are just starting points. You don't need to use any of them.

Some of my favorite submissions may be the ones that make us see The Hierophant in a completely new way.

If you'd like to reference the traditional tarot card more directly, you may want to play with:

• A central teacher or authority — usually associated with guidance and established knowledge.
• Two students or followers — often representing learning, shared traditions or knowledge being passed down.
• Pillars — structure, rules and institutions.
• Keys — traditionally connected with access to knowledge or deeper understanding.
• Ceremonial clothing, gestures or rituals — tradition, hierarchy and formal systems.

You can reinterpret these through the wizarding world, reference them subtly or skip them entirely. You do not need to recreate a traditional tarot illustration.

Your final artwork must:

• Use the provided Major Arcana card template and structure
• Feature Draco, Hermione, or both
• Have a clear connection to the meaning of The Hierophant
• Be suitable for the existing Major Arcana Collection

Exact dimensions and final print specifications will be provided to selected finalists.

Your style does not need to match another artist's work. Different artistic styles are part of what makes this collection special.

During the voting period, the cards will appear as:

FINALIST I
FINALIST II
FINALIST III
FINALIST IV

Artist names will be revealed only after voting closes. This gives artists with smaller audiences the same opportunity as artists with large followings and keeps the voting focused on the artwork itself.

Finalists are welcome to share The Final Draw and tell their communities they're participating. We simply ask that they do not reveal which numbered design is theirs or specifically campaign for their entry until voting has ended.

Voting will remain open for 5 days. One verified vote per person. Live results will not be displayed.

The Major Arcana Collection exists because I genuinely value the artists who create it and the time, skill and personality they put into their work. For that reason, generative AI artwork is not accepted for The Final Draw.

Your concept, sketch and final illustration must be created by you. Digital art created in programs such as Procreate, Photoshop and Illustrator is completely welcome. Generative AI tools or generative features may not be used to create or substantially generate visual elements of the submitted artwork.

Please also do not submit traced or copied artwork, another artist's work, or visual assets you do not have the appropriate rights to use. If there's ever a question about authorship, I may ask to see sketches, layers or other parts of your process.

Basically: if you made the art yourself, we're good. ♡

Applying does not transfer ownership of your artwork to Bookish Queen. If you're selected as a finalist, Bookish Queen may display your finished Final Draw artwork on our website, social media and emails as part of the event, voting and results.

If your design is not selected for production, Bookish Queen will not manufacture, sell or commercially license that artwork without making a separate agreement with you. The selected artist will receive a written collaboration agreement before the design goes into commercial production. Any production-related artwork adjustments will be discussed with the artist.

By applying to The Final Draw, you agree that:

• Your concept and artwork are your own original human-created work.
• Generative AI artwork is not permitted.
• Each artist may submit one concept.
• Bookish Queen will select four finalists.
• Follower count is not part of the selection criteria.
• Selected finalists must be able to complete the artwork by the provided deadline.
• Each finalist receives the $50 finalist fee regardless of voting results.
• Finalist identities remain anonymous during voting.
• Finalists may promote the event but may not reveal which entry is theirs until voting closes.
• One verified community vote is allowed per person.
• Bots, purchased votes, duplicate voting or other attempts to manipulate results may result in disqualification.
• Respectful behavior toward participating artists is expected.
• Bookish Queen may display finalist artwork for purposes related to The Final Draw.
• Non-selected artwork will not be commercially produced without a separate agreement.
• Commercial production of the selected artwork will be covered by a separate written artist collaboration agreement.

Can anyone apply?

Yes. You do not need to have previously worked with Bookish Queen or have a certain number of followers.

Can international artists apply?

Yes.

Do I need to be a tarot expert?

No. The meaning and symbolism above are there to give you a starting point.

How finished does my sketch need to be?

Only finished enough for me to understand your concept and basic composition.

Can I draw only Draco or only Hermione?

Yes. Your concept may feature Draco, Hermione or both.

Does my art need to match the style of the other Major Arcana cards?

No. Please bring your own style.

What happens if I'm not selected?

Your artwork remains yours. I'll also have had the chance to see your portfolio, and I hope to discover artists through this challenge who may be a great fit for future projects.

What if I'm a finalist and my card isn't chosen?

You still receive your $50 finalist fee and final-release stickers, plus an Artist Spotlight introducing your work to the community. All four artists will also be revealed and credited once voting closes.
