Have you ever wanted to participate in a lims icontest but didn't want the pressure of an elimination? Would you like a chance to participate in a full round of challenges with no chance of being eliminated? If so, welcome to firefly_rumble!

We'll have sign-ups for each round. Each round will consist of 10 challenges. Members vote for their favorite icons and the scores keep adding up. There will be winners after each challenge and an "overall" winner for the entire round.

Round 2 Sign-Ups are now CLOSED, but please feel free to stick around and watch the community to participate in the voting. We'd love to have you!

Round 1 winners can be found here.

I've got winners for challenge 10. :D

( Congratulations to winners for challenge 10. )

I'm heading out of town so no banners today. I'll get them to you after next week.

• Vote for your 3 favorite icons. Remember, you are voting on the quality of the icons.

• You do not need to be a participant to vote, but anonymous votes will not be counted.
  
• Don't vote for yourself, but I highly encourage you to get your friends to come vote - just don't tell them which icon is yours. :D
  You MUST vote to win.
  
• Votes will be submitted through screened comments.
  
• Voting is weighted as follows: 1st = 3 pts; 2nd = 2 pts; and 3 = 1 pt. These totals are added to determine challenge winners. SC votes are tallied separately.
