Expecto Patronum HP Icon Challenge

Select Members , Moderated

Mod: adb777; Co-Mod/Banner Maker: mithborienAll Banners: Located Here
expectocons was created on September 11, 2004 by adb777 and is a Harry Potter themed icon and graphic challenge community. Icon challenges will be held every week and larger graphic challenges every two weeks. There will be specific rules and guidelines for each challenge that must be followed as well as the overall general rules that can be found here. If you do not follow the rules for both the individual challenge and the general rules then as a result you icon may not be accepted for the challenge.For most challenges there will be a first, second and third place winners and also a "Mod's Choice" award for the icon that I either like the most or impresses me. If you win you will also recieve a banner for your efforts that will usually be posted in a bunch every two weeks.Also, you (the person reading this *waves at ya*) do not need posting access as all entries will be posted as a comment on the entry that involves the corresponding challenge for the icon you made. If you have a question about the challenge or something then they too shall be posted as a comment on that entry. The mods are the only people that needs posting access and are therefore the only people that have it. Of course, please friend this community instead to keep up with all the challenges.
All icons must be 100x100 and less than 40 KB.When you submit your icon/graphics to a challenge include both the image (if small enough) and the URL in the post. For an example of submitting an icon see here.Do not make an icon/graphic using someone elses base or manipulated image. Make the entire icon/graphic, including the base, yourself. The only exception is brushes, textures or if the base is provided as part of the challenge.Unless otherwise stated, you may only sumbit up to 1 entry per challenge.Do not use an icon/graphic that you have used in a previous challenge. Make something new.Do not post your icon/graphic that you enter in the challenge anywhere else until the challenge you entered it in is over and the winners have been announced.If an image of a character is not provided in the challenge for you then use a picture of them in-character. If an image is used of them out-of-character unless oftherwise stated then the icon will not be accepted.Follow any additional specific rules that are with each individual challenge.Enjoy yourself and have some fun!Note: Rules are subject to change at any time, of course, you will be notified
**Submitting Icons:**Submit the icon to the entry that contains the challenge you are entering as a comment. (All entries will be screened and only you and I can see them)All submissions must be made before the deadline.Here is how an entry should look:Icon url: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/green_n_silver2003/adb777-27.jpg**Submitting Graphics:**Submit the graphic to the entry that contains the challenge you are entering as a comment. (All entries will be screened and only you and I can see them)All submissions must be made before the deadline.In some challenges, the graphic will be too large to sumbit like you would do an icon. In that case, if possible could you please submit the url of where the graphic is hosted, a thumbnail of the image that we can put in the voting post with the link to the larger graphic and also an url for the smaller graphic as well. I know it's a lot to ask but it would help the mods out greatly :). Therefore an entry would look like this:Thumbnail url: http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/6764/dvexpectoconsredbannersmall3ai.jpgActual graphic url: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/634/dvexpectoconsredbanner5tj.jpg**Voting:This is just to make things easier for me when the voting for such a challenge is posted.
