This is it! The final challenge is much different from ones in the past. While you'll be doing an icon, you must also make a coordinating banner to go with it. Specifics are below the cut. You will have two weeks to complete the challenge. The special category is Best Set.

The winning icon/banner will be part of the new firefly_rumble layout kibethsbark and I will unveil as ( Read more... )

Now, let's do something completely different from the previous challenge!

- Instead of choosing from four mandatory caps, you must use screencaps from the Serenity special features reel.
- Instead of black and white, this challenge will focus on monochromatic icons -- your icon must be predominantly shades of one color (no black and white permitted ( Read more... )

We haven't had a mandatory cap challenge in a long time, so here it is! Your icon must be black and white and use one (or more) of the screencaps posted after the cut. The special category is Best Blend, or two or more screencaps blended together into one icon - like the icon I'm using, for example.

( Round Seven, Challenge Eight )

I figured I'd shake things up a bit for the seventh challenge of the seventh round - your icon must interpret one of the seven deadly sins. Because there are fewer entries coming in this round, you may submit up to TWO icons (as long as each icon focuses on one deadly sin). If you submit two, the icons will be judged separately, not as set.

Since Valentine's Day is next week, your icon must feature a screencap from "Heart of Gold." Because nothing says true love like an episode that takes place at a brothel. ;) The special category is Most Creative Screencap.

We're at the halfway mark of Round Seven!

This challenge will focus on "the little guys" - the minor characters. Your icon must feature one or more of the minor characters - our Big Damn Heroes should not appear in the icon at all. You could choose a villain or a friend of the crew from Firefly or Serenity. The special category is Best Composition.

( Round Seven, Challenge Five )

On to Challenge Four! This challenge will be another technical one - duplicated images. Or, an icon where the same image appears more than once. Examples are under the cut! You can icon either Firefly or Serenity. The special category is Best Textless.

( Round 7, Challenge Four )

This challenge will focus on favorite parings -- a romantic couple, siblings, enemies, whatever you choose -- as long as your icon features at least two people from Firefly or Serenity. The icon can have more than two people, but an icon with only one person in will be disqualified. Blending images together in order to achieve two or more people in ( Read more... )

Sorry for the delay in posting the next challenge! This challenge will be a more technical one - a faceless icon. Basically, an icon that doesn't include anyone's face. Confused? Examples are under the cut! You can icon either Firefly or Serenity. The special category is Most Creative.

( Round 7, Challenge Two )

Our first challenge of the new year is going to focus on River Tam. You can icon either Firefly or Serenity and include other characters as long as the main focus of your icon is River. The special category is Best Crop.
