Launching the IContest in our Image Galleries
GalleriesOur Leaky Contest Crew has teamed up with our Image Gallery staffers to form a new contest set to be launched on May 12th. Taking place in our Image and Fan Art Galleries, the IContest will have you creating icons based on some of the fan art images as well as other images from our galleries in future weeks. Starting May 12th, we will ask you to create an icon based from one of the many drawings created by Fan Artist Glockgal. You have until May 19th to submit your icon, at which time voting on those submissions will begin. The following week, on May 26th, the second round of our continuing contest will commence with the newest images in our Image Galleries being your inspiration for that week. Here is a short rundown of the events:
All icons should be emailed to icontest@the-leaky-cauldron.org prior to the deadline for that week. As always, anyone over the age of 13 not involved in the judging process may submit work that is PG-13 appropriate. More information on this contest can be found on the Fan Art and Image Gallery pages of the Leaky Lounge as well as on the Contest Page.
Good luck to all who enter!

Don’t worry LoonyLovegood. You don’t need to draw to enter the contest! All of the contests will use images which are either already drawn by fan aritsts, or images found in our galleries already.
No drawing necessary!
i like this idea and its about time they got the fan art into the site more (i think that its kind of ignored) mabeye this will get more people interested(I LOVE FAN ART!!) and glockagle is good
Are there requirements for what kind/size of icon this is? For instance, an AIM icon and a Livejournal userpic would be very different entries. As would an icon used for a file on your desktop.
Don’t worry Brianna, as I mentioned in my comment to LoonyLovegood no drawing skills is necessary!
Erika I’m glad to see that you like this idea! Fan Art is one of my favorite things here at Leaky and I’m glad to see our fanartists are getting their art shared with more people!
B the icons will all have to be 100×100, the size of icons here at Leaky, or at popular sites like Livejournal.
If you are looking for more rules feel free to check out here for the Image Icontest rules and here for the Fan Art Gallery Rules.
Speaking of fan art, can anyone tell me what happened to Marta (artdungeon)? Her site hasn’t been updated since January. I hope she’s okay.
