- Gryfftoberfest Winners -
The results are finally in! Well, they've been in for a while, but haven't been announced here yet. Not as many participated as hoped, but the entries that were received, were absolutely amazing. Want to know who won the Acrostic Poem contest? Or who the winners of the IRC Games were? All the winners for all 17 contests can be located here.

- November Den Challenge Results -
The November Den Challenge...was it so long ago? Well, yes. However, the results are in. If you remember, the challenge was to create your own dangerous game to compete with Creaothceann. Two of the three dens completed this challenge. First place went to the Lunatic Leopards for their game Bounce Pop! Second place went to the Paranoid Panthers for their game: Surfing on Newly Transfigured Highly Polished Turtle Shields on the Stairs of Hogwarts. That's a mouthful. Please check this thread in order to get the locations of the websites where these wonderful games are explained.

December Den Challenge results are still pending. But that's not a surprise, is it?

- January Den Challenge -
Aah. Another wonderful challenge for our dens. January's challenge is to create your own unique story, whether it be comedy, tragedy or fairytale. The one catch is, the villain must win. Don't forget to help out your dens and participate in this challenge. More information can be located here.
