Thank you so much to the voters! Plenty of opinions, though very scattered. The winner was decided by less than 4 points.

( The last icon maker standing in round two at bw_lims is.... )

Please don't forget to vote in the final challenge of round two if you have not already. We've got quite a few votes, but more is always better in this case.

Also: sign ups for round three are still ongoing as well as earning any extra skips. We've certainly cleared the 20 participant mark, but not many people have taken advantage of an extra skip.

Quite stupid of me, but I've opened bwchallenge. It's run almost the same as this comm, but without the threat of elimination each week. Members decide the challenges, themes, everything to a certain degree. But now you can participate til the END OF TIME =O
