 | 11:06 am - Challenge 3 ~ WINNERS
What a great challenge this time around! There were a lot of superb icons made and I'm thrilled with the variety of winners. When I first started these challenges I was concerned that the more seasoned icon makers would win every spot but I've been pleasantly surprised that newer icon makers are winning places as well. Well done everyone! I'm also happy to say that Mod's Choice this time around didn't win another place in the challenge. :D
( Winners )
I've unscreened the entry post so you can snag the icons and credit the makers.
Congratulations Everyone!

 | 11:01 pm - Mod Post ~ New Rule & Questions
ATTENTION ICON MAKERS: I've added a new rule for the challenges.
Icon file names must now be 6 characters or less. I regret having to make this rule but I've run into problems with placing the icon links in the voting polls. The links have been more than the maximum allowed characters that can be placed in polls. I've had to spend a lot of time renaming the icons during the first 2 challenges, so I'm now going to require the icon makers to name the icons according to this new rule. After the first challenge I shortened some of my folder names in photobucket to hopefully resolve the problem but then I ran into the same problem during the second challenge.
I have two questions and polls under the cut. Please come take a look!

I've unscreened the entry post so if you want to snag icons you can see who make which ones. Remember to credit, our artists deserve it!
Stay tuned to iconics this weekend....I have a housekeeping post to make and I'm going to need everyone's input.

Voting for the current challenge ends at midnight tomorrow, although any extra votes made in the early morning hours on Saturday will still count since I'll be, you know....sleeping. :D
If you haven't checked out the awesome entries and cast your votes yet it's not too late. Run on over here and take a peek!

Wow, what a great response to the first iconics challenge. The icon makers and voters have come out in droves!
If you haven't voted yet you can find the voting post here. Stop by and take a peak at the icons! Debbie would be very disappointed in you if you didn't perform your civic duty. ;-)
Also, a quick reminder. The maximum number of votes that can be cast for each part is three. I need ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) brokeaholic to come back over to the voting post to fix her votes for part 2. You've voted for four icons so you need to remove a vote. If you don't come back and fix it I'll have to disregard all of your votes for that part. :-(

Here we go gang, our first round of voting! Can you feel the excitement?
Before we take a look at the icons I just want to say how pleasantly surprised I was by the number of icons I received, a total of 35! You ladies did a great job and I hope everyone continues to participate in the coming challenges.
Voting rules:
1) Don't ask other people to vote for you.
2) Icon makers can vote but you cannot vote for yourself. If anyone votes for themselves that vote will not be counted.
3) Pick your top three favorite icons for each part of the challenge. If you vote for more than three I'll have to disregard your votes.
