Name:Firefly Rumble - A Different Kind of Icontest
About:




ABOUT
What? This is a different kind of icontest. Instead of process of elimination, winners will be determined based on their cumulative scores for the round.
Why? Consider it an alternative to the negativity of a LIMS icontest. Nothing against them or anything, but sometimes it's nice to get positive reinforcement.
From Where? This community is not of my own design. It is the brainchild of [info]chimera_x who started it all at [info]disney_rumble. The rules and guidelines used here are all courtesy of her and used with permission.

Post a link to the promo or a screen grab if its a locked post in a comment to the sign-up post. Promo points are no longer available.
  • We also could use new members so you can earn yourself a point for each person you get to sign up. Have the people you get to sign up provide your username as a referral when they sign up. You can earn 2 points this way. All referral points are no longer available.
