- You are voting for TWO (2) icons of LESSER QUALITY to be eliminated, and TWO (2) icons that are YOUR FAVORITES from each voting table. You are also voting for ONE (1) OVERALL FAVOURITE. All votes are ranked in order of preference! For your least favourite icons, please judge based on overall technique and aesthetic quality, NOT personal preferences. We reserve the right to nullify all votes we feel are not fair or justified. Reasons for your favourites are optional (though highly encouraged), but IT IS NECESSARY TO GIVE REASONS FOR YOUR ELIMINATIONS.
- Do NOT vote for your own icons and please do not feel obligated to vote for your friends' icons. Please try to vote as fairly as possible.
- You do not need to be a participant in order to vote, so please vote, even if you're not in the contest!
- Please vote in the following format:
Sailor Scouts
Least Favourites
[#61] (priority 1) - The icon seems to be overpowered by textures, and looks very cluttered.
[#89] (priority 2) - The colouring of the icon seems too dull, and doesn't stand out very much.
Favourites
[#100] (priority 1) - I think this is the best image matching I've seen, and it flows amazingly!
[#101] (priority 2) - I love the typography and how it matches the icon really well!
All other soldiers
Least Favourites
[#65] (priority 1) - The icon's crop is confusing, and the colours are dull.
[#82] (priority 2) - Even though the composition is strong, the caption and style of the icon do not match well.
Favourites
[#107] (priority 1) - Spectacular composition! The colours are very vibrant and beautiful.
[#120] (priority 2) - Really nice typography and use of textures.
Overall Favourite
[#230 - (Sailor Scouts/Other Soldiers)] (priority 1) - Impeccable manga colouring! It looks like the image was originally coloured as such, and the way the textures are used really bring it together.

- Please try to be as detailed and constructive as possible when voting! Our examples are extremely lazy - please don't follow them, if possible, because it'll only lead you to being ranted on that person's LJ, or something similar. Many participants here are looking to improve, and since we will allow you to see your "vote off" comments, your opinion will help any aspiring icon maker. Votes are screened, so please be as honest and objective as possible, and voting will not put you on anyone's "black list" since participants will not know who voted for them.

here Please look very carefully at each and every icon, and make sure when you're voting, you pick the right number and vote for it in the right ranking! It's very easy to make silly mistakes like that, especially with weighted voting. The War Generals here will try their best to check through and see if votes correspond with the icon you picked, but please double check your votes to make sure you don't vote off the wrong icon!!
