Welcome to yet another icon challenge thread here on good ol' Snitchseeker. This time though, we've got a twist... we're not a Harry Potter themed challenge, nor are we going to be hosting any challenges for any fandoms. All our challenges will feature Stock photography, which includes anything and everything... which isn't fashion, Harry Potter, anime, cartoons, Disney, fandoms, rock, celebrity and etc.
A stock icon is an icon that is made from a stock image. A stock image could be taken yourself, or found on a website.
There are many websites where you can get stock images, my personal favourites are
Getty Images,
SXC,
Corbis,
Veer,
iStockPhoto,
Flickr, etc.
- I will post an image or theme* and the challenge rules
- You PM me your entries (2 icons each) within the 48 hour time limit
- I will post the entries and a poll
- You vote for your favourite icons within the 48 hour time limit
- The winner is announced, banners are awarded and the winner PMs me a stock image or theme of their choice for the next challenge
- You are allowed to enter 2 icons
- The icons must be 100x100 and less than 20kbs
- This is a STILL icon challenge, so no animation
- The entries are ANONYMOUS; don't tell people which is yours or posting clues about your entries
- Do not vote for your own icons
- Do not tell your friends to vote for your icons
- Do not reveal your vote to others, it's not nice
- If you wish to wear any of the entries, wait til the end of the voting period when a list of entrants will be posted so you can credit the makers
- All images must comply with SS Board Rules
- Dudes, have fun!
This challenge will be hosted by
Boys Like Ama,
Tailzinator and myself. Information on who to PM the entries and images will be posted by one of us, no worries.
*stock image or theme refers to the challenge itself. The challenge winner will get to choose whether to provide a specific picture which entrants will have to use in their entries, OR to simply provide a Theme (eg flowers, romance, furniture, feet, etc) and entrants may choose their own pictures to use.
