So, I fell on my head today, and I had this cool idea for a contest.... Usually, when I make icons, I go through my files and pic a totally random pic, and try to make an icon from it. Surprisingly, some of my best ones have come from that method. So, I was talking with a friend on AIM about this, and we decided that this would be a cool contest (sort of like the Caption Contest). We played it ourselves, and here were the results: Yea....it was Rob's first icon....he wrote on Joey's face.... Anyways, I'm gonna post a random pic from my computer. Everyone who wants to play has 1 week to make an icon from the picture and post it on this thread. It can be animated, still, funny, artistic, use other pics,...whatever, you have free range! Just so long as you use the picture I post, and make an icon that's 100 pixels by 100 pixels. After that, everyone will have 1 week to PM me with the screen name of the person with the icon they like best, and then I'll announce the winner! Rules (takin from Caption Contest): 1. Only one entry per person 2. You may not vote for your own icon. 3. Please pm votes only, votes that are posted openly will not count. What will you win? Good Question... I'm not sure. But there will probably be a bunch...well, at least a few good icons, llam. Remember, you have free range, but you have to incorporate this picture: Submit your icon by midnight of Monday, August 16th (central time) Annnnnnnnnnd, go! ~Amanda

Yes....you need to have the image hosted online somewhere, like photobucket.com, and then you put this code in: url of your picture

Heh i know how to post an image here, i was just wondering if we were supposed to post the icons here or IM them to you. So now that I know... Here is my icon: edit: I'm sorry this image wasn't working for the last couple days...picrack.com was being a bitch. But I got a new website to host it so it works now ;D

Hey everyone! I'm Nora and this is MY FIRST POST!!! YAY! I'm soo excited! Since I'm here I might as well describe myself. I'm 11, LOVE Broadway/Wicked, and have my own Wicked Fanclub (http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/wicked_fanclub/). Everyone here are SUCH AMAZING image designers!! I'm pretty awful since I don't have PSP ANYTHING lol. But here is my entry. If you can't read it (since it's tiny), it says "I'm sorry, Elphie! I take back the 'Unusually, and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe' line from earlier on!" "You're still blonde." Sorry it's awful! You guys ROCK!!!

I didn't quite make this clear in the first post...but please don't vote until Wednesday morning (August 18th). Then you can PM me with your votes. It's my fault for not making it more clear...what with the number of pm votes I've already gotten. To anyone who already sent their vote, you can change it, and if you don't by Wednesday, I'll assume it stayed the same. Thanx! ~Amanda

Ok, no more icons!
[glow=red,2,300]EDIT[/glow] Due to lack of voting (The majority of all 9 votes were received on the first day of voting) and just because I'm impatient, I've decided that I'll announce the winner tomorrow. All votes must be in by this Saturday night at midnight. I'll announce the winner tomorrow (Sunday) and post the new pic.
Also, can anyone think of a better name for this? I'm not creative like that. Because I don't really like "Icon Contest" with the two "con"s by each other. I think I'll just call it "The Icon Making Contest" or just the Icontest, as Grant suggested. If you can think of anything better, please PM me ;D
The next round will be better organized, I promise! ~Amanda PS. I just wanted to brag about my new JLT icon I made
