So, as of right now we only have two entries to our most recent challenge, Challenge #43. I'll admit that some of this is my fault - due to various real life issues I slacked on both the traditional Wednesday/Thursday reminder and winners and banners this week - but I'm going to remedy at least the winners/banners issue by tomorrow afternoon. Look ( Read more... )

Posting a little earlier tonight to say that in light of the fact that we only have four icons submitted to our latest challenge, I will be extending it to Sunday, June 15 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Icons can be submitted to this post when ready ( Read more... )

One more and then I'll stop spamming, I promise. ;) As I mentioned in the winners' post, I have decided Challenge #38 is in need of an extension based on the fact that only three icons have been submitted so far, all of which are by the same artist. Also, instead of the customary three or four days I usually give you I think we'll just go whole-hog ( Read more... )

I was looking through the numbers of entries in the submission post, and although there's quite a variety in the icon-makers themselves, we still only have five icons submitted to this week's challenge. In my opinion that's not really enough to vote on, so I've decided to drop you guys a little extension. Challenge #37 has now been extended to ( Read more... )

As we're still stuck at five entries for Challenge #33, I've decided we should go the full two weeks and see if we can get just a few more submissions. The new deadline to submit icons for this challenge is Friday, April 18 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. I know it's a really busy time for everyone - I've got a number of real life things going ( Read more... )

Sorry to post this so late (and without much warning, heh), but I just wanted to let you all know that I will be extending Challenge #33 to Tuesday, April 15 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. We have five icons submitted at the moment, but three of them are by the same artist and I don't feel all that great about holding voting and having just ( Read more... )

Just wanted to let you guys know that if no more icons are entered to Challenge #25 between now and about 10:00 EST, I'll probably be extending the deadline over the weekend (to at least Monday or Tuesday, most likely). Currently we have three icons submitted, two of which are by the same entrant, and I don't really feel comfortable running voting ( Read more... )

Hey guys. I know I said that the next challenge would be issued on Sunday as usual, but I have decided, after much reflection, to postpone it for a week. It's essentially a question of what will be easiest for you guys, and what makes the most sense in the context of our schedule. I also have to think of one of our most active and supportive ( Read more... )

I'm guessing that with the complexity of this challenge, as well as the fact that real life is beginning to pick up for those of us in school and working, there was a limited amount of time to work on entries for this week's challenge. That's partially my fault - I set quite a difficult task this week, perhaps not realizing at the beginning how ( Read more... )

My apologies for not announcing this earlier in the week - but I, probably like most of you, was pretty busy with celebrating Christmas and in recovering from its aftermath. So I'm sorry if this comes as a surprise, but I think it'll be a welcome one to some of you. XD

I am once again extending Challenge #20 due to lack of entries. Please don't ( Read more... )
