Welcome to Choice!
Spring/Summer 2009 Edition


This actually should have been last month's theme, but alas, I am late! Go wild :)

Choice! Spring/Summer 2009 Rules

You may choose any anime or manga you would like! However:
-- anime must have started airing in the Spring/Summer session
-- manga must have begun publication in the last three years


A theme must be present in the icon, and may not be a theme used in a previous icontest
-- this theme must be stated when your icon is submitted
-- it should also should appear somewhere in your icon (so voters will know)
-- please be original with your theme; we don't want 10 of the same theme x)


As always, our general rules are....

Theme: Choice!
- you may use words/characters/scenes of your favourite anime or manga that follow choice rules
- feel free to use other images (non-anime) as background or accents to the central image
- be creative!

Rules:
- You can enter up to 2 icons
- Icon size: 100x100 or 100x125 (MAL size)
- Cannot be from fan art, unless it is your own (or you have permission)
- Must be your own work

Format for Submitting Icons:
1. (insert icon here)
2. name the character/series
3. link to the original picture (or original in spoilers)
4. theme

Reward:
- 1st place: icon as club picture, and winner banner
- 2nd place: winner banner
- 3rd place: winner banner
Note: places will be based on individuals, rather than icons

------------------------DEADLINE--------------------------
Friday, October 16th

Questions or comments can messaged to either icecreeaamm or myself!

We hope to see all your wonderful icons!! :D

I'm sorry dianne-chan, but Zettai Karen Children began airing in spring of 2008. We need series from spring/summer 2009.

I'm sorry but your icons are invalid :(

I'm working on entries... not done them yet, but will edit this reply when I am.

The reason I am replying is to let SawlSeki know that, unfortunately, her entry doesn't fit the rules. Although the anime did begin this year, the manga goes back to 2002, while the rules state that it must have begun no earlier than 2006.

It's a beautiful avatar (Edward looks so much more mature with his hair down :3), but it doesn't count, sad to say. :(

This rule is only active if she were to use an image from the original manga, I do believe. Since the image is from an episode of the new anime she's clear.

I thought about that too, Goldmare, and thanks for letting me know, but yeah, since the original image really is a screenshot from FMA:B I thought it would be fine ;____; I'll ask Kineta about it, thanks both though :)

Ugh, I misread the rules. I thought that the icon had to use an anime that had begun this year, and that the manga version of the anime (if there was one) couldn't have begun earlier than three years ago.

Now I feel stupid. D:

don't worry :) i am sure that there are plenty of people who like this.
the only thing i did not really like and found it to be quite troublesome was the Spring/Summer session restriction,i had nothing against the rest .

Yep, I'm pretty sure it is since I found it in an anime blog post for episode 18 of season 2.

But yeah, I agree with Zero about the Spring/Summer anime restriction being kind of tricky. I didn't really watch/enjoy that many of those shows so it was hard to think of something haha xD
