Chromicons Seven Week Icon Challenge: Info Post

[arobynsung]

Chromicons Seven Week Icon Challenge!!

Looking for a fun, easy, no pressure icon challenge?
Here we go again!

The rules have been tweaked since the last challenge, so read carefully :)

Basic Info:

• There will be seven weekly challenges.

• Participants will then have until the end of that week to post their icons to the community.
  
  • A minimum of ten icons to successfully fill a round.
    • EVERY SINGLE ICON in the set has to feature a person/character of color.
    • There is no maximum amount of icons per round.

• Extra chromicons love: ICON TUTORIALS.
  
  • If you'd like to share how you made one of your awesome icons, go for it!
    • (examples: the tutorial fest at smallbatchicons & icon_tutorial)
  • Minimum information for a tutorial:
    
    • Program used (GIMP, Photoshop, MS Paint, etc)
    • Method (a step by step instruction, example 1, example 2)
      
      • A tutorial doesn't have to be long to be informative but it can be if you prefer it like that.
  • Please post the tutorial in the same entry you posted your submission, after the icon set.

Timeline:

• Respective to each round, participants may post at any time within the following dates (sincerely hoping I did the math right):

Round 1: Sep 19th - Sep 25th
Round 2: Sep 26th - Oct 2nd
Round 3: Oct 3rd - Oct 9th
Round 4: Oct 10th - Oct 16th
Round 5: Oct 17 - Oct 23rd
Round 6: Oct 24th - Oct 30th
Round 7: Oct 31st - Nov 6th

• I am aware that timezones make things interesting so there is a 24hr-leeway.

I'll post the Round 1 challenge and sign-up post soon.

Yeay I'm glad this is back although I saw it late. I enjoyed working on the challenge last time. Can we still link to our own communities/journals in addition to posting at chromicons?

Also, if you're still going to give away points at the end of the challenge, I have not yet used up the 120 points from the previous one. I'm offering the points, in case you need them. :)

Welcome back!

I'm excited to see what you do with the challenges (late is totally okay in this challenge, round 2 is up right now :p)

Feel free to link back to your comms! That's perfectly acceptable.

I haven't decided on points yet; it depends on participation and other things. Last year I just had a ton of points and I felt like sharing was the best way, and chromicons was a great reason :)

Thanks (for the welcome and answer to question)! I might join in on Round 3 though since I'm too late for Rounds 1-2.

Come on in!
