A Harry Potter Graphics Challenge

Goblet of Icons is the longest running graphics challenge hosted on Snitchseeker. Initially started by iamoscar over seven years ago, the challenge concept has undergone few changes, but the rules of the game remain the same.

• The host (Anna Banana or Lissy Longbottom) will post a challenge.
• Anyone wishing to enter will send their icons to the person who posted the challenge. Rules for the icons are:
  • They must be 100x100 pixels in size
  • They must be under 20kbs in size
  • No animated icons unless stated otherwise.
  • You must not reveal your icon(s) to anybody. All icons must be anonymous. Trust me, as seasoned mods of these competitions, we can tell when people are all gossiping and getting people to vote for one person's icon and screwing up the results!
  • You are allowed to enter up to two icons.
• Occasionally, there will also be signature banner challenges, and the rules for the banners are 450x200px and under 60kbs.
• The icons will be posted 5 days after the challenge was posted.
• A poll will be posted with the numbers of the icons, and you may vote for your favourite icon(s) there. The rules of voting are:
  • You cannot vote for your own icon(s) (we will know if you do).
  • You vote for your THREE favourite icons.
• You are allowed to vote for 5 days after the entries have been posted, and at the end of those 5 days, the host will post the list of the top 3 along with Winner Banners.
• The winner of the previous challenge will also select an entry for the Winners' Choice award.
• In the event of a tie, a new poll will be started with the icons that were tied and you may vote for only ONE day.
• The winner with the most votes will PM the next challenge (theme or image) to BOTH hosts (Anna Banana and Lissy Longbottom) within the next 3 days (72 hours). If you do not inform us of your selected theme, we will pick one instead!
• The host will then post up the next challenge!
• The winner of the previous round will NOT be allowed to enter the next round with the theme they selected. They will be eligible again after the challenge they selected has concluded.

We're back again!! This time for our SEVENTH round, OMG As the original Harry Potter themed graphics competition, we felt it was time to give life to the classic competition once more and can't wait to see what everyone is going to come up with! There have been just a FEW changes since the last competition, mainly in how long you have to enter/vote for icons. Stay tuned for the first theme to be posted!

Happy graphicing!

Anna and Lissy
