Greetings everyone! I'm the new mod in charge of the icontest around here and I would like to give you a rundown of how our timeline will go.
Timezone: I will be using the
GMT 8+ timezone so if we don't live on the same longitude, I suggest using the
Time Zone Converter to find out what times you'll need to remember.
Timeline:Day & Time: | Event(s): |
Monday (6PM GMT 8+) | New theme posted + results of previous week |
Friday (6PM GMT 8+) | Theme closed + voting post |
Note: There might be some weeks where I might be a little late with posting. Please bear with me on those weeks. :)Themes:These will range from image provided, word themes, lyrical themes and anything else I can think of. :) If there's a theme that you would like to suggest, just comment on this post (comments are screened).
Submissions:You may submit a maximum number of
five (5) icons. They must be made "fresh" for this icontest (meaning no reusing old icons) and follow Lj's standards. When submitting, include the img src of the icon, the URL and (only the weeks when we have two themes) the theme you are submitting under.

Voting:As stated above, the voting post will be open from Friday (6PM) until the following Monday. Members will have chance to vote for the top three and a special category. Members of the comm may vote even if they did not enter the icontest. More the merrier! :D However, you may NOT ask your friends to vote for you. I believe that's called cheating.
Results and Banners:Once voting is closed, I will be posting a public comment on the voting post to say so and then post the results. If the winners would like a banner, I will have to ask for the following:
