Icontest Week 1 Submissions
::pokes life into community::

Hi guys! It's been a while in the making, but I'm here to kick off our weekly icontests!

But first, the rules.

Some concepts borrowed from aswimcontest

01.) The submissions post will go up on Sunday night and will stay open until Friday night @ 11 p.m. CT. The voting post will then be posted soon after and will stay up until Sunday night @ 11 p.m. CT, and the process repeats. You get it, right?

02.) That being said, you must be a member of this community to submit/vote. It's common sense, but I just wanted to make sure it's clear.

03.) Up to three icons may be submitted to the submissions post per member per week.

04.) Text, animations, blends, brushes, textures, etc. are allowed unless specifically said otherwise.

05.) When voting, you are allowed to vote for yourself if you think that you deserve it. Voting is also weighed, so it is important to clarify which icon you are choosing for first (+ 5 points), second (+3 points), and third (+1 point) places. If there are enough submissions, a Mod's Choice will also be chosen.

06.) When submitting icons, please follow this format:

<b>Username:</b> <lj user="USERNAME HERE"> <b>Icon:</b> <img src="ICON URL HERE"> <b>Icon URL:</b> ICON URL HERE <b>Anything Else:</b> ...anything else you want to add about your submission.

Example:

Username: tanie_05
Icon:
Icon URL: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tanie_05icons/The%20Boondocks%20icons/TheBoondocksicon16-tanie_05_icons.png
Anything Else: Please credit to tanie_05_icons.

07.) Once again, this is one of those rules that every icontest community has, but hey, it bears repeating. Please submit new icons for each challenge, and DO NOT share/use/take the submissions until the contest is over. If you would like to use a submission as an icon, please ask the icon maker him/herself directly and obey their rules.

If you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave them here!

...and now on with the contest!

This week, I'm going to give you 6 images, and all you have to do is make some kick-butt icons with them!













Only one icon per cap, so choose carefully!

Submissions will run until Friday, 18 August @ 11 p.m. CT. Good luck!
