Round 6: Minimalism vs complexity is extended by one day, the new deadline is March 1st 22:00 UTC+2 (COUNTDOWN). The new challenge will still be posted tomorrow, before the end of this current round.

Also, just a few words about the use of tags. I just took a moment to fix them, as they were a bit of a mess. Some guidelines about tag usage:

• from now on the entries should be tagged with "round: xx" instead of "challenge: xx". I already converted the existing tags. There has been some confusion about which to use and some of our posts have possibly had different instructions, so huge apologies for that mess. It seems that in the early stages of developing this community we were intending to use "challenge", but it sort of naturally drifted into "round" which seems more natural, and has already consistently been the guideline for entry post titles, so let's go with that tag from now. I can't edit the current round post, thyla87 will edit it later, but if you see this before posting your own set for this round, please use this new naming method despite what it says in the challenge post.


• in this community anyone can create their own tags, so you don't need to ask us to create a maker tag for you. I just went through all of the previous entries to check if maker tags are missing, and added the ones that were. Sorry that some of these requests were overlooked/forgotten/not noticed, I'll try to keep a better eye on these things from now on!


• please don't use any other tags other than the maker and round tags. There's no need to use fandom tags or anything else since this is not a community with claims, and there could be 20 different fandoms in your post. Using these would just clutter the tags unnecessarily.

I hope the extension will be useful and we'll still get a few more entries - get yours in! :)

Challenge 4 is now closed. A new challenge and voting will be up tomorrow.

The question of icon amount limits came up during this round, so I want to ask what do you all think about raising or removing the upper limit for icons? It is currently 20 icons, but could be raised if you want to.

The reason for an upper limit is that if someone decides to make a huge amount of icons, it would be very impractical to code the votings, and would take a lot of time from the voters too to look through them. However, we also don't want to limit anyone's creativity too much, the goal of this community is after all to get people to make icons :) If we remove the upper limit altogether, we're going to ask participants to provide the list of precoded image tags the way many challenge comms already have done (the7days, monthlyinspo etc) to make the coding a bit easier, just in case of very large sets.

So, what do you think? If the poll shows a preference for larger upper limits, that could be tried for the next challenge already.

[Poll #2107609]

Thanks for the entries, and happy new year to everyone! :)

Challenge 2 is now closed. A new challenge and voting will be up tomorrow.

I'll be completely MIA in November, the next challenge is done and hosted entirely by thyla87 , so please direct all questions to her :) No need to worry about the future of this comm though, I'm coming back in December and already have December's challenge post ready to go! I just need time off for NaNoWriMo.

Thanks for the entries for challenge 2, I hope you'll keep up the great work next month! :)

Huge apologies to those who have been waiting in the moderation queue! The entries are released now except for those who posted again afterwards. I didn't know that some entries would randomly go to the moderation queue before getting access. I'll keep an eye on this in the future, but if it seems your entries aren't showing up in a few days, please let me know!
