So, I just realized I had the extension date for the 16th when today is the 18th. I fail.

Anyway, you guys have until MIDNIGHT (EST) TONIGHT to get your entries in! We still only have FOUR entries from TWO people! I've noticed that the other icontests I'm a part of are having this same problem, so I'm trying not to worry. Anyway, if no one else enters tonight I'll just cancel this on and start challenge five. I'll make banners for those who participated if it comes to that.


PLEASE ENTER

Guys, what's up? We still only have three entries by one person! I'm extending the contest until JULY 16 so that should be plenty of time to get some icons in, no? We have 40 members, and if you all just entered one icon a challenge, it would be incredible! So, please! Enter here!

In other news, we have a new affilate: friendsof_aslan! It's a Chronicles of Narnia icontest, so if you're a fan you should check it out!

So obviously since the voting's not up I'm going to have to extend this challenge! I have been volunteering for the local swim camp and thus have not had time to post before now.

Because it's Wednesday night, and next Friday is July 4th (Independence Day in America) I am going to extend this challenge until June 27th unless we get no more entries, then I'm going to have to extend it to July 16th.

ENTER HERE

I was really hoping to get this community kicking again! I'm trying not to be discouraged but nearly every single challenge has had to be extended. Maybe I'm having too high of hopes for a community that's still pretty new? Please guys, let me know what I can do to help you get inspired to make entries!

Hey all! This is your not-so-mid-week reminder to get your entries in for Challenge Four: Favorite Musical Number! So far we have zero entries. Come on guys, I know you have it in you!

All right everyone, here we go! This week's challenge is Favorite Musical Number. Now, this can be "You Can't Stop the Beat" or it can be Amber dancing "The Roach" at the end of the 1988 film. Just as long as it is from one of the Hairspray productions and is a musical number. If you have any questions, please ask!

Rules:

1. You must join to submit an entry
2. Submit three icons
3. Icons must fit LJ standards (100x100, under 40k)
4. You cannot post your work elsewhere until the challenge is finished
5. No anonymous posts
6. Blending, gradients, animation, etc. is acceptable
7. Post the icon and the url like so:

Icon by Challenge Two winner, dioxie

Entries are due by Friday, July 16th, 2008 at midnight EST

I was going to cap some pictures from the films, but I just don't the time tonight. I plan on trying to provide pics as inspiration for each challenge! For now, however, you can try dj_capslock, cap_that or cap_it for pictures from the films. I haven't found that many pics from the Broadway productions, but it wouldn't hurt to try www.hairspraythemusical.com or just doing a search on Google or Yahoo.

Good luck!

Hey all! I hope your Father's Day weekend is going well. Everything has finally calmed down around here a bit, so I am going to start up the group again! I hope that we can have more entries now that people are out of school and have a bit more time on their hands. :D But before we can get on to the new business, we have to finish the old! Here are the banners for Challenge Three:

( For dioxie and dirtyromance )

Congrats you two!

I'll have the new challenge posted soon. Also, if you could advertise around or tell your friends about this group so we can have even more fun, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Here are some promo graphics I made a while back. If anyone wants to make some themselves and would like to share, please feel free!

( Graphics under the cut )

Hey all! Just popping in to let you know that neither I nor this group is dead. It's just taking longer than I thought to get our house ready to sell, and our internet likes to crap out for days at a time. But no worries, the house is almost ready so I should be able to start challenges up again!

That is, of course, if y'all are still interested. Please let me know!

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I've been a terrible mod lately, but I'm in the last weeks of my senior year of college and am super busy. For that reason cornycollinshow is going on a very temporary, very short hiatus. I graduate on the 26th, and have some things to do the week after to start getting ready for the move, but I should have Challenge 4 up on May 3rd if not sooner!


Thank you so much for being patient with me and I can't wait to have this group running properly!

I know this is totally screwing up the schedule, but since I'm going to an out-of-town wedding next week, the next challenge will be a bit longer. But before I post Challenge 4, how about I announce the winners to Challenge Three, yeah?

( And here they are! )

Congrats everyone! I won't have the banners up until this weekend, but I should have the next challenge up sometime tonight.

I know I said the voting would end tonight, but at the moment there's a four way tie for third place. So I'll keep the voting open a while longer so please please please VOTE!

....finally! Again, I'm really really sorry about the extensions! I swear I'll be better about posting things on time. I'm going to extend the voting until Monday, however, because of the Easter weekend.

And now, on to the voting!

1. You must be a member to vote, no anonymous votes!
2. Wait until the voting is over to post your work
3. DO NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF
4. Don't ask others to vote for your icon

How to vote:
Vote for three, they can be in any order.

Example: 0, 8, 20

If you still have questions, feel free to ask them!

( They throw off their coats and leave the squares behind )

Voting ends at midnight on Monday, March 24

I'm so sorry that this community has been so slow lately! School's been crazy and I haven't heard from my co-mod. I was going to post the voting now, but I don't really have the time, and I'm participating in the LJ strike, so I wouldn't be able to do it later tonight because of the whole time zone thing. So I'm extending the challenge until 7 p.m. EST on Friday, March 21st. So get your entries in HERE!

Hey everyone! Sorry about this challenge getting stalled for a moment. bob_always_wins was supposed to take over the challenge since I was on Spring Break last week. I'm just getting back into the groove of school so thus I haven't posted earlier. I'm extending Challenge Three until midnight EST this Friday, March 14. We still just have four entries for our red challenge! I know we have 36 members, so please get your entries in!

Also, if you have an idea for a challenge, something you've always wanted to see or saw in another icontest and thought was really fun, post it here!


WANT TO BE A CO-MOD?

Now that the group is starting to take off a little, I think it might be nice for more co-mods! If you're interested in helping out being a mod (or maybe even a banner maker?) please leave a comment here. I'll screen the comments, and just tell me what experience you have in being a mod (or banner maker) and why you want to mod this group. If you want to be a banner maker, if you have some examples, links would be awesome. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Well, we still only have four entries for Challenge Three, the red challenge, so I'm extending it. You now have until Friday, February 29 to get in your entries. Please enter here!

Hey everyone! Just remidning you to get in your entries for Challenge Three! So far we have four entries by two people, so please get them in! They're due Friday, Feb. 22 by midnight (EST).

Hey everyone! Sorry about the delay, but apparently bob_always_wins was busy, which is fine, we all have real life to answer to. :D

So this challenge, since we just celebrated Valentine's Day, is the colour red. You can have red text, have a spot of red, make the whole icon red, whatever, just as long as it's prominent.

Some examples:

Icon by challenge two winner dioxie

Entries due by Friday, March 21, 2008 at 8 pm EST

If you have any questions, just ask!

Entries: 10
Users: 4

And the winner is...dioxie! Her banner featuring the entire council (#3) is our new group header, and the corresponding icon is the new default icon as well. :D Congratulations!


Second place went to dioxie's other header/icon pair (#1) and third place was a tie between jkalen81's header/icon pair (#2) and dirtyromance's header (#4).

Congrats everyone! if you'd like a banner, just comment here.

I'll leave the next challenge up to bob_always_wins

SO...it's 12:30 and only three people have voted. I'll give y'all a 24-hour extension. IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED, PLEASE GO HERE AND DO SO!

Thanks!

Hey everyone! Just reminding you that you have about ten more hours to vote! If you haven't, please go here and do so!

Also, I'd like to introduce a new affiliate (and my new group) wildcat_chat! It's a High School Musical discussion group, and though it's still being created, feel free to join and once we're finished ironing out the details, it will be in full swing!

Okay, so we have some entries, not as many as I had hoped, but enough to do the voting. This is going to be a little tricky, so I'll try to make the rules as easy to follow as possible.

1. You must be a member to vote, no anonymous votes!
2. Wait until the voting is over to post your work
3. DO NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF
4. Don't ask others to vote for your icon/header

How to vote:
Pick your favorite header or icon or header/icon pair. Vote for 3, they can be in any order, I've found it's easier to count the votes that way.

Example: 0, 8, 20

If you still have questions, feel free to ask them!

Voting ends Sunday, February 10th at midnight EST
