I'll give you a rough outline here of where this comm is going:
1. There will be two polls each month. The first part of the month voting will be posted for an open submission poll. The second part of the month voting will be posted for closed submissions.
2. The open submission period solicits entries in response to the previous person's prompt or inspiration from that person's entry. This allows more flexibility when creating your icons. Around the first of the month, the entries from the previous 2 - 2.5 weeks' will be posted for voting.
3. Voting for the closed submission period will be posted about mid month and will include submissions posted to an entry which will provide three prompts one of which will be a technical prompt and the other two will be an arbitrary prompt e.g., color, number or some such and one or more images. You will have the option to use one or all of the prompts for your single entry. The entries will be hidden until after voting.
4. If you enter one or both of these icontests, at least one concrit to a recent entry will be required. For the closed icontest concrit will be required along with your vote. Entries will be opened at the end of voting so concrit is visible.
The first of the month having passed I will post the first of the images and prompts for the the closed icontest for which voting will start around the 15th. Please invite your friends to participate. I'll also be updating the comm's info and tags and posting a banner for you to use if you solicit the comm in your journals and comms. Also, I'll hit the promo trail as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please post them here.
