• You must vote for 3 icons of lesser quality to be eliminated, and for 2 icons that are your favorites. Please evaluate the elimination icons based on overall technique and aesthetic quality, not personal preference (such as favorite color, or the icon maker you think made the icon). We reserve the right to void any vote we feel is unfair or petty. You do not have to give a reason for your favorite icon choices (though it is encouraged), but you must give reasons for your elimination icons.
• We encourage you to be as detailed as possible in your icon elimination critiques. Many participants here are looking to improve, and since we will allow participants to see their comments once results are posted, your opinion will help any aspiring icon maker. All votes are screened, so please be as honest and objective as possible. No icon maker will ever know who voted for or against them, and all icon critiques will remain completely anonymous.
• Do not vote for your own icon, do not feel obligated to vote for your friends' icons, and do not get your friends to vote for you. Keep things as objective as possible. Please look very carefully at each icon while you are voting, and please double-check your votes to make sure you've used the correct numbers in your voting comment. Votes are not weighted, so order does not matter.
• Here is an example vote for you to follow (3 eliminations, 2 favorites);
Eliminations;
#108 - Icon is a little blurry and hard to see.
#109 - The image is sliced awkwardly and the image looks disjointed.
#110 - There is too much empty space that makes the icon look incomplete.
Favorites;
#111 - I love the cropping.
#112 - The color enhances the subject perfectly.
Please be considerably more detailed than this, however. You must write at least two lines for each comment in order for your vote to be considered. Your comments for negative votes must constructive and non-insulting, and remember that negative votes are NOT to be based on personal preference. If you need additional assistance with voting, please see this
comprehensive voting tutorial.
• ANYONE MAY VOTE. You do not have to be a contestant to vote! We encourage as many people to vote as possible so that the results are as fair as possible.
• Voting for Case #01 will end Tuesday, August 21st at 7:00 PM EDT (-5:00 BST).
