Icon Contest
« on: January 07 2006, 11:31 am »
All right, all of you know we have talented and imaginative designers in this forum. So then, I had suggested that capturedwings should hold icon contests. Arigato gozaimasu Little-wolf sama for allowing me to hold and manage the upcoming contests!  :keke:

The rules are simple: Like the banner contest, each contest will have a theme. The entries must have something that is relevant to the theme.

The first contest theme is: Sakura (CCS and/or TRC)

All entries must be:
-100 x 100 pixels
-GIF, PNG or JPEG format only
-maximum file size up to 40 KB

Common asked questions:
What are icons?
They're the little pictures you put beneath your username.
Can the avatars have text?
Yes, they can. The sky is your limit.  :keke:

Entries please submit to syaokun[at]earthlink[dot]net with subject as icon contest. Please include your username, onegai shimasu!

Entries will be recieved until Friday, January 13 (20:30 CST)

Winner shall recieve 7 cookies, and participants shall recieve 2.

Be creative! The theme is really general; I'm interested in seeing what all of you will come up with!

Good luck to everyone!  :keke:

Naturally, because it will be useless if the Moderators and Administrators are the ones who will only vote. Right guys?

Niece : Asuka

99% of the female population all think that Syaoran is the hottest bishie ever in both TRC & CCS. 1% is me! XD If you're one of the 1% who isn't so possesive over Syaoran, and wants him to be with Sakura only, copy and paste this into your sig.

Sorry, not feeling well today; so that explains my stupid question: Icon? Like what? Like what we have as Avaters? Or like what Okamirei has in her sig?

Thank you bLuetopaz for Siggy and Avatar! ^_^

I stand corrected. Since I don't like adding teh text to mine, I won't be entering the contests any time soon. Besides, I'm not very creative.

nn, of course.  :keke:
I'm brainstorming some ideas about where to put the older contests' icons in the future.

why not create a new sticky thread, under 'Anything goes' and put all the older icons in it?

is this contest going to be a weekly or a monthly contest?

Good idea.

This won't be a monthly contest for sure, there'll most likely be at least 2 contests each month.
