Ready for our bi- monthly awards :)
Okay this is going to be our first awards. One of the goals of this community for me is to share icons that we love and then share why we love them. :)
It is a way to help us improve and learn from other people and eachother.
This is going to be a bit different from other communities that give awards (and remember you can still post your icons and what not because this isn't an awards community just another thing we are doing).
Categories: Icon member of the month..nominate an outstanding icon maker within the LJ community at large. This can be a well-known icon maker or one that is a little less-known. Please post not a link to their journal and a sample icon so we get a feel for their work. You may also want to include why you love their icons (cropping, coloring, use of text whatever).
Member of the Month: I need you guys to respond with a link to your icon journals if you post your icons in places other than your personal LJ. This is for a member that really stands out or you think has improved a lot or has given something to this community. Whatever. :) Also when you nominate post an icon sample and why you love this person as well. :) You guys have till Monday June 20, 2005 to comment with your icon journals. Monday night after work I plan to make a post with all of the members for reference. If you post your icons in your journal just comment saying that. :)
These are the only two icon contests for now I thought we would start slow with this but I think it should be fun. Also, if you can think of any other categories that might be fun you can comment with suggestions for next time as well. :)
Oh, all nominations are due by June 29, 2005. Happy iconing! :)
