First off thank you to all the Iconers that entered thus week's challenge, but to be honest there were only 3 participants total and if next weeks results are much of the same I will close the community again, so please, if you want the comm to stay open, participate.

Thank being said, onto the voting:

( Take my life, Take my land.... )

To spread group awareness and get people involved again I'm going to offer a ... bonus of sorts. Advertise for the community and post the link here, and get rewards (sort of like the skips in the LIMS challenges but these are extra votes because we're not voting folks off).

You can choose to build up "points" or you can choose to use them on the next challenge.

Here's how it works:

1 advertisement makes your 1st place vote (I weight the votes) worth 4 points instead of 3

3 advertisements Lets your vote count twice

10 advertisements You get to pick the "Captain's Choice" the equivalent of the Mod's choice.

15 advertisements An icon of your choice (even your own) will be turned into an advertising button for this community. And You'll have a special contributor banner made for you.


Places to Advertise:
-In your personal or icon journal.
-To specific iconing friends of yours.
-In icon related communities.
-In your user info.
-In 1-2 advertisement communities. (I won't accept 10 of these, cause let's face it so many people advertise in those types of communities a day that it actually does very little advertising.

The community needs a new look, and I'm holding a Special Challenge for all those who want to make us a shiny new Banner.


Requirements:
- Must be 760 px wide
- Must be connected to the Movie Serenity i.e. you can only work with caps from the movie, the movie posters, promotional pictures released for the movie. If you're unsure if the image is okay or not just link me to it and I'll give the thumbs up or down.
- No Animation
- Blending is allowed
-Burshed, Textures, Stock Images, etc. are all allowed

The Voting for this Challenge will go up Friday March 23rd at 5pm unless we have less than 5 entries and then I'll extend it a week.

The winner's banner will become the new community header!

Good luck to all and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Some Possible sources for Material:

_jems_
Still Flying
The Official Movie Site
Some Movie Posters
Various Large quality Images

Hey guys this is your friendly one time moderator thefalloficarus.
Do to some conflict in managerial approaches I have resumed control over this community. I'm sorry about my disappearance last year. My computer died and I didn't get it replaced for months. Add to that a month out of the country, and you have my in communicado. So, I'm really sorry about that. I didn't know there was still interest in this comm until beauty_untold asked to revive it.

( The reasoning behind my take back. )
