The LiveJournal Animanga Iconmakers Awards (Pre-Contest Series Noms)
Welcome to the 3rd annual LiveJournal Animanga Iconmakers Awards~! I'm your hostess, levels, again here to celebrate the best of the best iconists that make icons of anime or manga subjects. :3 This year we're doing the same as last year's in that we have a pre-contest round.
This round is so I can determine which "Best of" series to use. In 2006, I didn't do such a great job of picking the series, so there were quite a few with only 1-3 iconists each. xD This year I figured I'll do this so that I'll only have categories for popular series with a lot of different iconists. :3 And it worked last year, so I'm bringing this part of the awards back.
This is a rather loosely-organized round. Basically just comment with one series that you would like to see a "Best of" category for, and people will comment to that comment if they are in agreement with your nomination. :O Please try to nominate series for which lots of icons are made, and preferably also made by a wide variety of people so that we have more diversity this time. xD
However, I won't be too strict with things as I suspect that comments will start piling up. So if there are a lot of comments and you don't have the time to thumb through pages hunting for a series, just start a new thread and I'll add those votes to the other ones.
You can nominate/vote for as many series as you like, but please make sure that there is only one series per nomination comment for organizational purposes. ♥ I also don't really have a preference to what sorts of series are nominated except no hentai or hardcore yaoi, please. :x Other than that, shoujo, shounen...go for it.
The top 15 series with the most votes will be the ones that I make categories for. ♥
Nominations will close at midnight (central time) on February 29th, 2008. If you have any questions, please reply to the FAQ post I have open. :3
