Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! [PLEASE READ!]
Challenge #105 had no entries this week so on Sunday, as usual, I will post a new submission entry. But before that, there are some changes that have been made, and I want to make everyone aware of them.
From now on, every submission post will have two themes: an abstract theme (one that is open to interpertation) and a concrete theme (which will deal with the actual creation of the icon). Participants are free to use either one of the themes or both in their icons. All that matters is that at least one of the themes is clearly represented.
Examples of abstract themes would be: cold, hatred, cruelty, love, sin, etc.
Examples of concrete themes: color, rotation, faceless, awkward crop, etc.
In addition to this, I've adjusted the amount of winners per theme based on the amount of entries:
If there are 1-5 entries, there will only be first, second, and third place winners.
If there are 6-11 entries, there will be first, second, and third place winners and one Special Category winner.
If there are 12 or more entires, there will be the standard first, second, and third places winners as well as two Special Category winners and one Mod's Choice winner.
The community profile has been changed to reflect these edits.
NOTE: All comments are screened. Post what you want. It stays between me and whoever said it. Be brutally honest.
If you've already responded to the PM (which as of now was only three of you), then still do please fill out the poll but don't worry about commenting. :] I've making this post to centralize all thoughts regarding this topic and because LJ won't let me send anymore PMs. :[
Poll Community Changes
Thank you for your participation!
I also wanted to point out that the weekly themes aren't going anywhere. :] All this poll will determine is whether or not we start doing different contests from time-to-time, such as the LIMS. The weekly themes will always return, just not on the same schedule.
