Don't forget to vote in Challenge 5, we need way more votes than we have right now :) Voting will end MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22nd at 11PM EST.

(Sorry for the delay on this, I thought it had posted yesterday but apparently not!)

Thank you to all our participants, the icons look great :) bibliophile1887 has withdrawn, so we have four icons to vote on. We're getting down to the end now, you should all be very proud of yourselves for making it this far :)

1. Anyone can vote. You don't need to be a member or participant to vote.
2. If you are a participant voting, do not get others to vote for you. We want to keep everything fair.
3a. VOTE FOR ONE LEAST QUALITY ICON. It must be of least quality, not just low quality. Please, provide a technical reason why.
3b. Examples of how to vote for least quality icons with a technical reason:
- The image is oversharpened.
- The colours don't complement each other well.
- The text is overpowering the main focus of the image
3c. Examples of reasons that will NOT be allowed as a vote for least quality icons:
- I don't like it, because I hate green.
- The font sucks
- It is ugly.
4. VOTE FOR ONE FAVORITE ICON. You don't need to provide a technical reason but one is always welcome.

Any questions or comments, please feel free to comment to this post.

All votes will be screened.

Voting will end MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22nd at 11PM EST. Good luck to everyone! :)
