red_satin_dollWe have a veritable TSUNAMI of icontest challenge votes (Listed in order of urgency, more or less):
1)![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
slayerstillness Tiebreaker for Third Place icon in Challenge 52, PART 2. Yes, part 2. No, I didn't pimp part 1. My bad. It's been whittled down from part 1 to three icons competing. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
starry_night said And if it’s still not broken after this one, I’ll just call it and post winners anyway :) Personally I think it's cute and it's an honor to be considered good enough to compete with and hold my own with artists I admire and who are far more experienced. (What? If you voted already you'd know that I had to beg out as a nominee. So if this a surprise, you clearly haven't voted yet and need to do so. Or you're one of those people who are disciplined enough to not check out who else voted in which case, I aspire.)
For some reason I thought tiebreaker voting was unusual, or more usual lately until I check out the history of the comm and saw that tiebreaker voting is the rule rather than the exception going all the way back to Challenge # 4. Personally my favorite icons that round were the Mod's Choice winners byteragramm and tempertemper; and moriwen1's icon of Angel with a cobalt blue mug. But I didn't know about the comm back then so I didn't get a say. Boo-hoo.
2)whedon_elite Challenge #126 "Weapon of Choice" Vote for Top Three, Best Color and Best Crop amoung 17 dynamic entries. Full disclosure, this one probably does have a runaway winner. (I should know, I voted for it. You'll see what I mean.) But everything else? Totally up for grabs.
3)btvsats20in20 The big kahuna in my icontest world and the reason I don't compete in any other 20in20 comm. Those of you who participate in more than one? You have MY RESPECT. For those of you who are newbies, there are three posts:
THEMES -TEN separate icons to vote for, and remember you have to press the "vote" button ten times, not once to cover all your choices.
CATEGORY SET - Choose your top 3 sets, and top six individual icons.
ARTIST'S CHOICE SET - Ditto. This always ends up being harder than I expect. You'd think after a year I'd know to expect that?
And btw, if I didn't vote for your icon? I apologize. I probably wanted to. Especially the Category sets - I wanted to vote for my favorite 12 icons. At least.

Date: 2015-09-22 03:34 pm (UTC)That is a damn cool idea, actually! There are SO many icons being made (have you seen one voting post of character20in20 alone?) that some great ones inevitably get by-passed. I'm all for more chances to show off one's work.
After all, stories can get nominated at SunnyD memorial or the Wicked awards etc repeatedly so long as they haven't previously won.
