I made this thread so I could see everyone's opinion about the contests. Please post here if you are interested in participating in the next few contests; or you can post that you think that they should just end.
What is said in this thread could potentially decide the fate of the Icon Contests.
Thanks
West

Personally, I would like to see the contests continue. It's fun to see the numerous interpretations people can have with the prompts. Not to mention it highlights the really great graphic artists we have here. I've never been good with icons so I never entered but I always liked looking at all the submissions. I know it's been in a slump but I really would like to see the contests continue.

Really if the staff thinks its still a good idea and people still post entries. Then go for it. Activity and contests are often positives. Especially in the slow state the board is in.

Thank you all for replying and giving your opinions.
I would still like to hear a bit more before the final decision is made.

Wow, this thread's been here quite a while. I'd be happy to participate when I have time to - I definitely loved the icon contests, and I don't want them to end. ):

You could always re do really old contests. Or we could simply have contests with other things besides avatar if you've ran out of ideas.

The thing that is the problem is not that fact that I am running out of ideas, those I have plenty of, the thing that it is lacking is PARTICIPATION!!
I'll leave this thread until the end of the month, or maybe mid-April, and then I'll send my case to the staff and then it will just go from there.
Thank you!

I really have not icon making abilities (although I would really love to) so I can't really enter the contests, but I really enjoy seeing the icons and voting. I'm not sure how to get more participation, and I understand its hard to run a contest where very few people participate, but I would like to see it continue if there were enough participants. Maybe posting the theme in the main header would help.

When I had more time, before I started my senior year, I loved these contests. It was a way to get a good hard honest opinion about my work without the basis of names. I liked them a lot, and I felt quite accomplised when I finally placed. I'd love to see the continue on, because maybe just the right opinions can nudge a budding Designer such as myself to feel a little pride in their work. The Internet Community is rough on people because they see much talent running about, it's the best crowd to present yourself to.  |

Did you bring the "case" to the Admin/Mods yet West?

So, I am alive and back on this whole icon contest issue, I swear. RL has just taken over for the past 3 weeks, but now I am really going to try and be back.
So, you all probably don't want to read this, but I just want one more 'reflection' of what people want. If you could, just post whether you would be interested in participating, or whether we should continue to do them.
As I already said above, I would LOVE to continue to do them. I like to think of them as part of the whole DH experience, and continuing them would just keep the forum going too.
Thanks again!
