I am too tired to post the new challenge at the moment. We are also a bit off schedule, due to an extension for the last challenge. So I've decided to post the new challenge on Monday. This way, we will get back on schedule and it will give the members and moderators a little break in-between.

[ POLLS ARE NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR VOTING! ]

We do not have enough entries for the current challenge, so I will be extending it until Tuesday, September 30th.

Challenge #102: HERE

This is your mid-week reminder to get those icons in by Thursday, September 25th. So far two people have submitted and we would love to see some more submissions, so that we may have a good voting round.

We hope that everyone had a great weekend!

We would like to thank everyone who has participated in this community. tori_icontest started back in 2004 and we are very happy to see that people have not lost interest in it. We appreciate everyone who submits icons every week, as well as everyone who takes the time to vote in the polls.

We are very sorry these took so long to post. A lot of time had passed, so I had to go all the way back to Challenge 46 and calculate the winnings from there to our most recent challenge. This was determined by the most first place winners, most wins overall and most wins as mod's choice. I then combined all the wins and tallied them up for the total.

Congratulations to underworldthing, xperfectlysane, vimh_graphics and annaham. I have sent $5.00 coupons to your individual Livejournal accounts.

There were a few of you that were SO CLOSE. If I could afford it, I would send out coupons to more of our members.

Starting from this point on, we will start the tallies over. If you are new to the community and have been submitting your icons a lot recently, we suggest you stick to it. We will not take this long to post the results next time. In a few short months, we will give away more coupons to the NEW winners.

Thanks so much to everyone for their participation, love and support.

Oh... and NEW layout, guys!

Because this challenge was for picking one icon to be the new default icon for the community, I will only be announcing ONE winner. The overall winner won with 9 votes, which is very impressive. The rest of the icons were all ties, so we will just do it this way.

The winner is: xperfectlysane! Your icon is now the default icon for the community. You can see it HERE.

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their icons. They were all amazing!


Also - LJ coupons will be going out VERY soon. I need to wait until after rent is due, which is on the 5th. But rest assured, my goal is getting them to you within the next two weeks.

The rules for this challenge are very simple. First and foremost, we need an icon to use for the community.

• You may use any images you like. Text may be used, as long as it small (example: tiny text) and is not the main focus of the icon.
• The main thing we ask: It MUST have the words "Tori_Icontest" somewhere on the icon.
• Feel free to take a look at the Community's Profile for the color scheme. You may use the same color scheme, but it is not required that you do.
• The winner of this challenge will have their icon (with proper credit) used as the default icon for tori_icontest.
• Happy Iconing!
