Sorry for not posting this earlier, I've been swamped with school work.
This is a reminder to post nominations, if you haven't already done so. You can nominate any icon that's made from an official animanga or video game image, by any iconmaker (including yourself). At the moment we only have six nominations, so we really need more!

Here's the nomination template for your convenience.

Hey~. I've been lurking since like Round 01, but I figured since you guys need some more noms, I should finally step out of the shadows and help out. =]

This is the first time I've done anything like this, and I can be really closed-minded when it comes to series, so if I've messed up in my anime/manga/game categorizing please tell me. o_O' ♥

Finding some of these was really hard to do. x_x

( anyway. lots of pretty round six noms for you to look at! )

( ICON NOMINATION ROUND 05 BANNERS )

And don't forget to...
NOMINATE FOR ROUND 06!

Welcome to icon_nomination's 6th Round!! I'm your other new mod here, so I hope I'll be able to do as well as the other mods have.

This week's Special Category will be:

INANIMATE OBJECTS
For example,
by fiendie
by frakalakalaka
We want you to find icons of inanimate objects; scenery and plants are good as well, just no humans, animals, aliens, etc. (I'm going to say that androids don't count, but mecha are okay)

- Voting is not weighted, so the order you put down your choices doesn't matter.
- Voting will be screened.
- Anyone can vote! You do not have to be a member of the community.
- Please use the following form to vote. Remember, choose 4 icons in each category!
<b>Best Anime Icon:</b> #00, #00, #00, #00 <b>Best Manga Icon:</b> <b>Best Videogame Icon:</b> --- <b>Best Cropping:</b> #00, #00, #00, #00 <b>Best Text:</b> <b>Best Textless:</b> <b>Best Coloring:</b> <b>Best Use of Grayscale:</b> <b>Best Use of Resources:</b> <b>Most Original:</b> <b>Best Manga Coloring:</b> <b>Special Category (Funniest caption):</b>

Please let me know if I've missed an icon. Since this post is rather long, we highly suggest that you open a text document such as notepad to type all your votes in, and then paste your votes here. That way you don't have to keep scrolling up and down. Happy voting!

Yaaaayyyy! :)
