Nominations
And we move swiftly from pre-contest into the actual nominations round of this year's LiveJournal Videogame Iconmakers Awards! (Don't act too excited, guys.)
'Kay so. During this round, you guys get to nominate people for the various awards. This will go on for about a week, depending on participation. To nominate someone, reply to the comment that has the name of the category you're nominating someone for. Comment with the name of the nominee in LJ-tag form. OPTIONAL: IT'D BE NICE IF YOU COULD ALSO PUT THEIR NAME IN SUBJECT OF THE COMMENT SO IT MAKES IT EASIER TO NAVIGATE ONCE THE COMMENTS START TO STACK.
For your nomination to count, you will have to have 3 people comment to your nomination saying that they second, third, and fourth your nomination.
Note: If there are less than three "official" nominees, the ones closest to being official will also be counted until there are at least 3 official nominees.
Other Rules: (copypasted from ljamia) You may not nominate yourself, nor can any nominations be made anonymously. Anonymous comments are disabled. Also, do not comment outside the comments we've already posted. That is to say, you can comment to any of my comments, but you cannot post your own. This is mostly just to prevent clutter.
There are 15 series categories (these were chosen by you guys in the pre-contest) and 11 more general categories, making a total of 26 categories.
If you would like to pimp this post, here you go! Please help us in spreading the word so that the nominations are spread out as equally as possible.

* If you do not wish to have your own nomination count--that is, you are uncomfortable with receiving an award, having your icons posted, etc., you have only to tell me so by commenting to the FAQ and stating that you wish to be withdrawn. You can do this at any time before voting is put up. I respect people's right to choose and if you don't wish to be entered, it's in your power to stop me.

People/comms marked with an asterisk (*) have already sent me their samples.
Once you've been officially listed as a nominee, it'd be great if you could email us (ljvgia@gmail.com) with a few sample icons that pertain to each of the categories you were nom'ed to. We'll end up doing them ourselves if you don't (so voters have something to go on in case they don't recognize your name), but it'd save us a lot of trouble. We will need 4 icons for each category you're entered in.
Also, you can repeat icons, so if you have an icon that you want to use, say, for Best Textless AND Best of Final Fantasy, feel free, just let us know. Icon comms will need to compile a set of their best icons, however. Each iconmaker has to contribute at least one icon to the set, to be fair. It is fine to send us more than 4 icons if you have more than 4 iconmakers in your community. Most Underrated icons are basically just what you perceive to be your best icons.
Got questions? Ask here.
We'd also like to point out that Best Icon Community is both journal AND community. Sorry for not adding it in beforehand! :)
Nominations are closed, thank you!
