Shounen Awards

special category descriptions:

Any week we get 10+ icons you will be asked to vote for a special category. Axel designates the category based on the most fair choice for all the icons submitted (so if it's a mostly textless turnout it won't be best typography!) Here is a glossary of what each category is looking for:

Best Color: Choose the icon that has the best coloring to you.
Best Crop: Choose the icon that has the most innovative and/or appropriate crop.
Best Typography: Choose the icon in which the text looks the best with the entire composition; has nothing to do with what the text actually says.
Best Adaptation: Choose the icon that best represents either the lyrical or word/challenge theme.
Best Composition: Choose the icon that has the best overall look, taking color, text (if applicable), and crop into account.
Most Emotional: Choose the icon in which the character shows the most emotion (can be any emotion).
Most Creative: Choose the icon in which the maker was most imaginative and did something that was unexpected, but still works.
Best Caption: Not to be confused with best typography, choose the icon in which the words in the caption work best with the image.

( I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night. )

And with that I also want to add I won't be posting a new theme. I'm sorry, but it's just that the participation is low. I mean we haven't gotten more than six entries in a while, and scribbld really doesn't seem to be attracting new members or anything. I am moderating a community over on DreamWidth with

mei for anime/manga icons, though and there the participation is a little higher and we even offer banners for the winners. If you're interested and have an account, feel free to join and participate, it's

anicontest. We'd love to have you! If you don't have an account and want one, I might have some invite codes available. Just add that in with your vote comment and I'll see what I have.

It's been fun, though! I really enjoyed this while it lasted.

This week's theme is really easy. It's the way-back machine. Basically, you go to the winner's showcase post and pick a theme you missed or want to redo and submit an icon or two for it. If you do two icons, they don't both have to be from the same theme. Because this theme is a bit different than the others, your submission form is as follows:

Here's a rules recap;
01. Icons must be under 40KB, gif, png, or jpg in format, 100x100px or less.
02. You can use fanart, but please link to either the original image or the artist's page.
03. Do not advertise your icons until the the voting for this submission week is over.
04. Icons must be made for this submission post and not be recycled.
05. If you use the lyrical theme, please use three consecutive words.
06. You may submit up to two (2) icons.

Icons are due to this screened post Friday, January 21st at 11PM EST If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments!

Gosh, that took forever, but we finally managed to rustle up enough votes for a results post! I'm sorry it's so late, but really I'm doing all I can with the lack of participation. D:

THANK YOU to everyone who did vote, though! I just hope we can get the sufficient amount in a more timely fashion next time!

And don't forget to submit to the new theme! Here it is!

Since only one person voted, I'm extending the voting another day. I'm sure it's just that everyone was busy this week with Christmas and traveling and whatnot, so it's understandable. I hope to get enough votes in for a results post by tomorrow! ;3;!

I'll post a new theme as soon as I am not drunk. You guys have no idea the amount of proof reading that has gone into this post for it to be coherent. Aw yeah.
