Hey guys - I was just totaling up voting and we have a bunch of ties in two of our placings, so if you have not already made your picks for Challenge #94, please do so here! I'll post a tiebreaker tomorrow if I need to, but just wanted to slip in this little voting reminder before that and see if any of those ties can be broken. Thanks! :)

Thank you so very much for all the beautiful entries, everybody! The extension did the trick nicely (despite my lack of reminder posts - but it's been a rough week for me personally, unfortunately), and we have 13 terrific submissions to pick from for our "Faith" theme. :)

DO NOT VOTE FOR YOUR ICONS - YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FOR IT!
Do not tell anyone to vote for you.
Do not tell anyone which is yours.
Do not post your icons anywhere until winners are announced on Monday.


General rule: If you think it will get you disqualified, don't do it.

Vote )

We haven't been doing badly at all as far as entries go this week - we have 8 icons submitted as of this writing - but I've decided to extend the challenge just to see if we can squeeze out a few more. With it being the Fourth of July weekend for Americans and Canada Day this past week, a lot of folks are probably busy with real life at the moment and I wanted to give a chance to people who maybe wanted to enter the challenge but didn't have time.

You've now got until next Saturday, July 11 at 11:00 p.m. EDT and entries can be submitted to this post when ready. Thanks muchly! :)

Hey, folks! This is a waaaaaay late reminder and should have been up earlier this week, but real life kinda got the better of me and I didn't post. Anyway, a quick shout-out that tomorrow is the last day to submit icons to Challenge #94, as they are due tomorrow night, Saturday, July 4 at 11:00 p.m. EDT. We have 5 terrific entries thus far, and since they're by only two folks I would absolutely love to see some more!

Please submit icons over here in this post when ready. Thanks! :)

Mod Shout Out


I have to thank the other mods and banner makers who have been doing their best at keeping up with this community. I know its been very busy for you all and I want to give you all a big hug. The summer is officially in swing now and I may not be around as much since my boy is 2 years old and getting into everything :) I also wanted to thank all the members who have participated over the years.

Members


We have over 100 maybe less since I'll be cleaning up dead journals in a moment. I'll describe a "dead" journal as journals who's last updated journal post is more than a year ago. It won't be based on participation at all because I don't see that as fair because one day you might want to add your icons one day if you like a certain challenge. So if you haven't updated your journal in over a year or you have its just not visible let me know on this post :)

Affiliates:

I have cleaned out the dead communities. And added the following;

[info]starwars20in20
[info]startrek20in20
[info]stargate20in20

Welcome to the family :)


LIMS Challenge:

Since its summer, I am hoping to get another LIMS started this Friday and more participants. I'll do things a bit more differently since the previous one was my first challenge. A sign up post will be going on up Friday and hopefully the first Challenge will be up Wednesday. :)

Remember I am in charge of the LIMS challenge and yes [info]laury_kos I'll have your banner up soon :) I've been a bit swamped since my little one got sick.



So I hope all US members have a happy and safe Fourth of July and I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and are having a good summer. Those in the winter phase I hope you guys are living it up as well!

BMC... well, its up to [info]laury_kos  but it does seem like overkill to have more than four awards with only eight entries. If you want to award someone, can you leave a comment here please, laury?

Even though the last challenge hasn't yet concluded, I figured I'd put up the next one just so that we don't get too behind on our schedule. :)

I decided on another theme challenge for this week ... one of these days I'll do something other than themes for my weeks, but I do happen to like them. LOL. Anyway, as you may have guessed from the subject line, this week that theme is FAITH. You may interpret this however you wish - Anakin's faith in Padmé that she will love him and eventually marry him; the faith shown by both Padmé and Anakin on their wedding day in their love; the continuation of that faith even through the difficult times; Padmé's refusal to believe at first that Anakin has turned to the Dark Side; Padmé's assertion that good remains in Anakin/Vader, etc. I have provided some caps that you can use if you don't wish to hunt down your own, but other images are permitted for this challenge.

Challenge #94 - Faith

+ You may use the provided images, but pictures that you hunt down yourself are permitted.
+ You may NOT use the images more than once.
+ You may enter three [3] icons. No more, no less.
+ Entries must be of lj standard (100x100 'or smaller', 40 kb).
+ Brush, text, gradients etc. are welcome. No animation.
+ New fresh icons please. :)
+ Don't put your username in the file name. (example: psgshadowshamrock.png)
+ Do not post your icon anywhere else until winners are announced, this includes using it yourself. I see all the icons, so I'll know if you do this!
+ Make sure you check the rules before entering, any submission that doesn't follow the rules will not be entered.

-Deadline: Saturday JULY 11 at 11pm EDT. Late entries will not be accepted.
-Current Entries: 13

General rule: If you think it will disqualify you, do not do it.

Pictures right this way! )

Comments are screened, if you have a question please submit it to a post separate from your entries.

So, we now have two beautiful entries. Please please please get some entries in - I know everyone is probably busy but its not fair to put the voting up with so few icons submitted. I'd enter it myself but I don't have access to Photoshop.

Extended until Sunday 21nd at the absolute latest - I'm probably going out of town on the 22nd (Australian time) so I can't keep extending this. Please enter here.

 Um, guys? No one has entered challenge 93...

I think I messed up the dates, so I'm extending it a week.

If you're unclear on what to do or something please let me know. I only didn't put up examples because I don't have photoshop on my computer so I can't make any icons properly... Questions, comments, let me know.

So lets see some entries in by Monday 15th, ok?

Trying something different again :)

Get creative and make some form of propaganda or advertising within a 100x100 icon! Show off why padani is your OTP, demonstrate your favourite aspect of the pairing, or just shamelessly pimp the comm! Any questions, just ask me.


Challenge #93 - pimping [info]padanistillness !

-Your icon must include the name of the community and the word "because" in the following format: "padanistillness: because (insert rest of text here)" .
-Anakin and Padme MUST be the focus of the icon.
-You may enter up to three [3] icons.
-Brushes, gradients, textures, etc as long as i am able to see the above textures are permitted.
-Entries must be of lj standard (100x100 'or smaller', 40 kb)
-Don't put your username in the file name.
-You MUST make a new icon. Trust me I will know if you don't.
-You do not have to use the images provided.
- Have fun! :D


DO NOT POST YOUR ICON ANYWHERE UNTIL THE CONTEST IS OVER.
This includes using it yourself. DON'T DO IT. If you are caught doing it you will be disqualified and possible ban from the community.

Make sure you check the rules before entering, any submission that doesn't follow the rules will not be entered.

-Deadline: Monday june 8th at 11pm PST. Late entries will not be accepted.
