Good luck!

Juuuuuust a reminder, we currently have FOUR icons for the SHAPE theme, but if we could get maybe a few more submissions, that would be great!

As a reminder, you can use the theme as a technical theme OR a concept theme... just as long as there's a shape. I mean, other than 'hey, my icon is square!' because that's a little too, you know, too. XD

Submit one or two icons by the deadline on Sunday!

Thank you!

Okay, guys, we have THREE icons for the SHAPE theme, and that's not nearly enough to post voting... so the theme is extended for another week!

Submit one or two icons to the linked submission post!

Thank you!!! <3

The theme for Challenge #094 will be 'Shape.'

Please interpret the theme freely! I encourage wide interpretation. Be sure, however, that your icon fits the theme. If you feel that your icon may need explanation, please explain; it will help me determine the suitability of your submission. If you have questions about the theme or the validity of your interpretation, please feel free to contact me. If your icon does not fit the theme, I will inform you. You will have until the submission deadline to correct it.
