Hmm..I might be a bit confused with this challenge..Is it have to be an item? Or a phrase or something... Maybe if you could provide an example would be help.. Thank you...
It can be text or an image. The icon I posted this challenge with would be one possible example of hidden text. It's visible, but barely. The icon I commented with has an image hidden in it. On the left side there's a duplicate of the character that blends into the texture. The icons below on the left also have hidden text and the icon on the right has a heart in between the two characters that blends in with the rest of the texture work - making it hidden in plain sight.
Uhhh, sorry, I'm confused. For the first icon, we can hide anything? A period, a swirl, it all counts? And it can be as small/have as low an opacity as we like (well, before it becomes invisible obv)? For the second icon, are the requirements supposed to be as difficult to find as in the first icon?
Correct on the first. It can be anything. :D The second icon does not have to have anything hidden in it, it just has to have the theme of "seeking" and you can use any/all of your teams criteria for extra bonus points.
You said there was going to be a prize for the hiding/seeking? Wouldn't that be an issue as everyones monitors aren't calibrated the same? I cannot see the the duplicate of the character in the icon you posted, I assume because of the settings of the monitor-- same with the middle icon example you gave.
That's the main reason why I'm not doing bonus points for each one you get right, but for a set number. I don't expect that it will be too difficult to get 5 out of 22 of them even with different monitor calibrations. I may lower that number if people aren't getting very many. But I don't think it would be fair to give a point per correct guess because of the monitor differences.
Sorry that I've been so MIA this time around (couldn't possibly participate in an icontest with school as it is, unfortunately) but from following the round's progress, I have to say, you're absolutely KILLING IT with the themes this round! They're so creative and fun - fantastic job! ♥

That's a good idea. I will definitely include some clues.

Once the semester finishes up for you we should work on planning that joint round for the summer.
