About:

What is a LIMS?	What are the rules?	How do I vote?
LIMS simply stands for Last Icon Maker Standing. It is a contest between up to 20 icon makers, and after voting takes place, the best icon maker is left. If you've seen American Idol, or Project Runway, it's very much the same formula. Only this community has to do with the lovely Madame President Laura Roslin, from Battlestar Galactica. Current champion: spoldge04 Past winners: allagainst aka_katya twentyplanes	Once there are enough people to have a successful contest, your mod will post a screen cap of Laura Roslin. Every contestant will start with one (1) free immunity pass which may be used at any point in the game until there are four final contestants. Each participant will then make ONE (1) non-animated icon. There may be a special direction, or you may just be asked to simply icon the picture, but each contestant is limited to one icon per challenge unless specified by the mod. Challenges will continue until we have two (2) finalists. All icons will be due on Thursdays at midnight (central time.) Voting will take place Friday and Saturday until midnight (central time.) If you are voted through to the next round, you will then be eligible to participate in the next challenge. The two (2) people with the most negative votes will be eliminated. When there are two icon makers left, each member will make six (6) icons. The community will then vote for a Last Icon Maker Standing.	Each week during voting, you will be asked to give constructive criticism on the icons you like the least. Voting should start with the icon you like the most, then to the two (2) icons you like the least. Your comment should look like this: Best quality: 243 Vote 1: 546 because the icon is too red, and could have used a bit more blue to make the image more clear. Vote 2: 675 because the font doesn't fit the tone of the icon. All comments will be screened. Each week, you will see the comments said about your icon. While this is a contest, it should also be a way for you as an icon maker to better yourself, so that if you don't win this time, you win the next! If you need to contact your mod, please do so at msbrittanydawn@gmail.com Please do not use her personal LJ to contact her regarding any community matter. If you would like to suggest a picture of Laura Roslin (NOT Mary McDonnell) to be used in the LIMS, please submit the picture to this post.
