Round 15: Rules and Info
Round Number 15:
• Icons must be made originally for this challenge, no prior work may be submitted. If it is found that you do submit previous work, you will be disqualified from the next challenge.
• All work must be your own, not someone else's.
• Make sure all images are PG rated. Meaning no nudity, bad language (including abbreviations) etc.
• Icons must fit the Livejournal standard, under 40 kb, 100x100px and in either .png, .gif, or .jpg file format.
• When posting the finished 20 please leave 3 icon examples, not a banner, and a link to the icon post/or lj-cut to your journal.
• Post the completed icons at once.
• The icon post must be unlocked for two reasons. (1) I need to be able to see your entries to post voting and (2) so people don't have to join to view your icons. (If they do join, it's a perk for you)
• DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR ICONS TO THIS POST.
• ALL entries are moderated, which means that I have to accept the entry before it's made visible to the public.
• I have provided a table for you, but if you are having problems or do not wish to use it, you can make your own. Just make sure you level your icons in order of the themes(as they appear in the list below) and are listed as: 10 Themes, Category (along with the name of the category) and Artist Choice (number those #1-5).
• USE THE FOLLOWING TAGS: round 15, username: (your username), claim: (your claim).
• DO add a subject. FORMAT AS: Round 15 - CHARACTER CLAIM.
• Completed 20 are due JUNE 25TH!
REMINDER: If you chose to do a pairing, make sure that BOTH characters are in your icons!
