About
Welcome to Gentlemen Icons!

This community was inspired by [info]femme_icons. This is an icon challenge community centered around male celebrities.

Please feel free to join even if you don't plan on entering any icons. Voters are just as important as icon contestants!
  1. There will be two different pictures of the same person each week. You can submit up to 2 icons for each week's challenge.

  2. Icons:
    - may only contain the photo(s) assigned for that week.
    - must be 100 x 100 pixels or less, and 40Kb or less (the requirements for a LiveJournal icon).
    - are accepted in .gif, .jpg, and .png.
    - animations are allowed, as long as they contain only the assigned photo(s).
    - may be blended.
    - can not be displayed or used anywhere until that week's contest voting is over.

  3. Voting:
    - You must be a member to vote in the polls. Join here!
    - You may vote for up to 3 icons in no particular order.
    - You may not vote for your own icon.

  4. Using others' icon entries:
    - You must comment to ask for permission to use an icon. Please do this in the entry where you see the icon you want to use.
    - One of the moderators will get back to you about who the icon maker is and you can choose to contact them yourself or we can notify them of your request.
    - When you've been given permission to use the icon, please credit the icon maker in the icon's keywords unless they say that you don't need to.

  5. There are two ways of entering each challenge:

    i)  Post a comment to the entry containing the current challenge picture. In the comment, leave the image code (along the lines of <img src="http://www.yourserver.com/youricon.jpg">) and the URL. Example:


    http://www.yourserver.com/youricon.jpg

    Be advised that we will be direct-linking your icon in the polls for voting, so make sure that this is okay with you and your server before submitting an icon. If you do not have a web host, Photobucket and ImageShack are great places to host photos for free.

    ii)  Email submissions to gentlemenicons@gmail.com as an attachment or a link. Please leave your username in the email as well.


That's all the rules for now. We hope you have fun in this community! :) If you have any problems, leave a comment in any of our posts or drop us an email at gentlemenicons@gmail.com.
