Here's your midweek reminder (and it's on time! Huzzah!) Please submit over here, we only have one submission at the moment. :( I don't know if you guys are still busy celebrating, but I'm back in school now, and things are starting to heat up. Please find time during the week to make an icon or two, or even three for this icontest! Thanks. X3

Third:

by rashiea. I'd just like to say that I liked this icon very much! :) It was simple, but the coloring was nice and the cropping, unusual. This would have been my pick for mod's choice, but since it won third place, there will be no mod's choice this week.

Congratulations to all winners! Bannermaker for this week will be amara_verite.

Sorry I'm late again! @_@ I'm Christian and pretty active in my church, so I've been crazily busy in the Christmas period. At least it's ending soon! Results for the previous week are not up yet because we still lack votes. D: I really can't post results with the current votes, because there are ties all over the place. Please vote if you haven't done so yet!

Voting for week #68 - we have seven icons! Please vote for first, second and third place! No special category, but I do believe there may be a mod's choice this week. ;)

I know, I'm fantastically late, sorry. >_>;; I kept forgetting to post while I was online. At any rate, we have neither enough votes to post results for the old voting nor enough icons to post the new voting. So, please, if you have a little bit of time on your hands, vote and/or submit! Thanks.

This week's deadline is officially midnight on Saturday, but again, I'll be out pretty much the entire day, so I'll only post when I'm back at home.

Reminder! We have four icons for the themes as of now, but we really need more! So quick, submit your icons over here!

Extension.

2007-11-24T03:50:05Z

Extension for week 66, since we haven't enough icons. :\ Please submit over here! The new official deadline is 30th of November, Friday at midnight. However, I'll be out pretty much the entire day then, so I'll only be able to post at night, which means that voting will probably be posted no earlier than noon GMT on Saturday. To be safe, however, please do submit by midnight on Friday!

32-hour reminder for this week's themes, because we really need those icons in as soon as possible~. Don't forget, the new deadline is midnight GMT!

2007-11-18T13:22:02Z

Last post for the day here, I promise. ;D

Theme;

This week's theme is textless. This means that your icon must have no text at all on it, not even tiny text. You may use manga or anime images as you please.

Character;

The focus is on Hayate this week! Remember, he can be with any number of people in the icon, and he need not be the main focus, but at least half his face should be visible if he is in the icon with one or more other people.

* You may submit up to three icons.
* You may submit as many (up to three) icons for any theme.
* All submissions must meet LiveJournal standards for icons (no bigger than 100x100 pixels and no larger than 40Kb) AND the community rules provided here.

The deadline for this week will be Friday at midnight, GMT. As I stated in an earlier post, this means that voting will not be able to go up at exactly midnight, because I'll probably still be sleeping then. I'll put it up when I wake up, so you'll probably have a reprieve of about an hour or so (please don't count on it, though).

This is a voting extension and a submission reminder rolled into one.

1) We still only have one vote. Results cannot be posted with that, really! I'm extending the voting for another four days [until Sunday], and hopefully we'll have amassed at least six votes by then. If we hit six votes before then, results will be posted. Please cast your vote over here!

2) We currently have zero icons for our next challenge. Please submit over here!

Week 65 themes.

2007-11-11T17:10:34Z

Theme;

This week's theme is OTP. Basically, your icon must contain at least two people whom you ship together. [Tippi counts as a person.] Whether your favorite pairing is serious or crack, go wild!

Character;

The spotlight is on Kei this week. Kei must be in your icon, but he can be with any number of people. The main focus need not be on him, but at least half his face should be visible. Manga art and anime art are both acceptable.

* You may submit up to three icons.
* You may submit as many (up to three) icons for any theme.
* All submissions must meet LiveJournal standards for icons (no bigger than 100x100 pixels and no larger than 40Kb) AND the community rules provided here.

Don't forget! Friday afternoon at 1pm GMT.

Voting extension and an issue.

2007-11-11T16:56:02Z

Guys, I have all of exactly one vote so far. This will not do, at all. >: Please submit your votes over here! I'm giving you two more days, so that's Tuesday afternoon at 1pm GMT.

A question was raised about why the comm's deadlines are in the afternoon at 1pm instead of at midnight like most icontests. The problem here is the timezone I live in [GMT+8]. If I close submission at 1pm, I post at 9pm or thereabouts, and then I go to bed at about eleven. If I were to close submissions at midnight, that'd be 8AM my time, and to be honest, I'm either not awake yet, or in school at that time. So it's not convenient at all, and I'd end up being even later than I usually am. So this is the choice I'm giving you guys-

a) Continue ending submission at 1pm GMT.
b) End submission at midnight GMT and post voting as soon as possible, but definitely no earlier than midnight.

What do you think? Please share your thoughts on this matter. Comments are screened for now; if you want me to unscreen them, just say so.

2007-11-09T13:44:47Z

We have five entries, but we're going to carry on with the voting anyway. :] I would like to ask the competitors not to vote this round.

In the criticism post, several issues were brought up, and they will be addressed in a post this Sunday.

Please vote for just first and second place. Thanks!

1	2	3	4	5

Voting ends this Sunday afternoon at 1pm GMT.

pretear_awards @ 2007-11-02T22:06:00

2007-11-02T14:09:29Z

Guys, we still only have two entries. I can't post voting with that. @_@

So therefore, I am holding some sort of a poll.

We should-

a) Scrap the week's themes and just move on.
b) Extend the competition one more week (this means that you should enter your icons also)
c) Declare the person who entered the automatic winner.

We've been having such a bad run recently. Please do consider submitting.

All comments to this entry are screened. Feel free to leave any criticism you may have for me, I know I've been late with a lot of things lately and I deserve to be scolded. :(

Reminder!

2007-10-31T12:37:32Z

This is your midweek reminder!

We currently only have two icons. >: Please don't let the community die! Submit your icons over here now!
