1. You must be a member to participate, this includes voting and submitting.
2. Your icon(s) must be 100x100 or smaller and no larger than 40kb.
3. You must make your own icon(s), this includes not stealing icons or copying tutorials.
4. Your icon(s) must be recently made. If a re-used icon is submitted, the mod will ask you to make another one.
5. You are not allowed advertise or exhibit the icon(s) you submit in any way until the results are out.
6. Please upload your icon(s) to a host that allows direct linking and leave it up until voting begins. We suggest Photobucket, Imageshack, and Tinypic.
7. Please only use official D.Gray-Man images. Fanart and cosplay pictures are not allowed. Doujinshi art is now allowed, however, please inform the mod with a note along-side your submission(s) if you use a doujin image.
8. If you vote for your own icon(s), you will be asked to vote again or your vote will be thrown out. If you solicit friends to vote for your icon(s), their votes will be thrown out and you all will be banned.
9. You do not need posting access to this community to submit. To submit your entry, simply comment on the post with the title Week #: Submit. To vote, comment on the post with the title Week #: Voting. In both cases your comment will be screened.
10. If you use any of the icons that appear in this community, please ask the creator for permission and give proper credit if they ask for it!
11. Spoilers are allowed but please avoid them as much as humanly possible. We are a large community and while the majority of us may support them, we'd like to be able to reach an accord with everyone.
12. You are allowed to combine themes but you may only submit one icon per theme, combined or otherwise. For example, if you were to combine the Lyrical Theme with the Image theme, you could only make a second icon for the General Theme, thus having only one combined icon and still preserving the one-icon-per-theme rule.
13. Be aware that in the case of a tie, if one person has voted and the other has not, I will break the tie in favor of the person who voted.
14. Treat everyone with respect and enjoy yourselves~

dgray_awards runs a three-tiered weekly icontest. The three themes, posted every Friday night, are as follows:
General Theme:
A theme will be provided, either something broad like happiness or a single word like fighter or a technical challenge, and you will need to construct an icon that best represents that theme whether it be through the image or text used in the icon.
Lyrical Theme:
The lyrics to a song will be posted. Use at least three consecutive words but make sure the lyrics are the only text on the icon.
Image Theme:
An image -- screencap, black and white or colored manga scan, official artwork -- will be provided for you. Color, brush, crop, and animate the icon however you want, but the only image used should be the one provided.
Explaination kindly borrowed from bleach_icontest
Icons are to be submitted by commenting on the screened Week #: SUBMIT post and in the following format:
Theme: General/Lyrical/Image

Icon by snm_queen
Submission time runs from Saturday of that week to the next Saturday, thus giving all participants a whole week's time. Voting then takes place from Saturday morning to Sunday night and winners are posted thereafter. Specific times will be posted in each post (i.e. xxAM).
If you are unable to submit through the screened post, you may email snm_queen at snm.queen [@] gmail.com. Just make sure the subject line reads Icon Submission.

To vote, submit a comment to the screened post with the title Week #: VOTING. When you submit your vote, please vote for your 3 favorite icons in descending order in either of the following formats:
05, 02, 11
OR
First: 05
Second: 02
Third: 11
There might be a special category depending on the number of submissions that week. If there are more than 12 icons, the mod will ask you to vote another icon for the special category as well. Please do not choose any of the icons that you voted for as your top three choices. The special categories you will be asked to vote for are as follows:
Most Creative: The icon that shows the most originality from the others through its cropping, blending, captioning, or typography, etc.
Most Emotional: The icon that has the biggest emotional impact on the viewer compared to the other icons. The image and/or text is very well chosen and evokes any strong feeling.
Best Adaptation: The icon that represents the its chosen theme (be it General, Image. or Lyrical) the best through both the selected image and text.
Best Caption: The icon that has the best text content. This means the words' actual meaning matches the icon well. This can be well-chosen lyrics, a good phrase, or even a single, effective word. Don't confuse this with Best Typography!
Best Color: The icon that stands out from the rest color-wise. It has the most effective use of color, whether it's faded, vivid, monotone, or duotone, etc.
Best Cropping: The icon that has the best placement and focus of image through the discarding of extraneous material.
Best Typography: The icon with the best treatment of text regardless of text content. This applies to the physical appearance of the words on the icon and can include good use of dingbats. Good text placement also plays a role in good typography. Do not confuse this with Best Caption!
After voting ends, the votes will be talied and posted in a post titled Week #: WINNERS and banners will be made for all the winners who leave a comment requesting one.
