skizzy's having an icon contest! WINNERS ANNOUNCED!!!

[skizzy the wonder lizard]

for three months, i ran an icon contest on my livejournal. out of 75 friends, i got like eight entries. very sad. so i turn to you beautiful people in hopes of filling up my soon-to-be 100 icon spaces.


there will of course be FABULOUS PRIZES!

first place will get 10,000 neopoints!!!
second place gets 5,000!!
third place gets 2,000!

sound good? i'd offer more but i don't really have a lot of neopoints to begin with.

you can enter as many times as you like! it is possible to place up to two times but not three. that is, you can win first and second place if you're just that awesome, but not first second and third place. that's just crazy talk!



RULES
-must be no larger than 100x100 pixels and 40k, but smaller is fine
-must be work-and-PPT safe (no frontal nudity! i personally don't mind but other people do)
-all entries must be in by NOVEMBER 4, 2005 EDIT: extended to NOVEMBER 11
-by entering this contest, you are giving me permission to use your icon (credited to you, of course) even if you don't win
-you must include the name by which you want to be credited, be it your livejournal name or something else. this can be PMed if you don't want to expose your LJ name on PPT.
-text and animation are fine. however, keep in mind that i rarely like animated icons unless they're looped well.

Le Petit Prince! I actually like that book now that I think of it. But I think the biggest fan is my French teacher.

But, I may enter an icon! I've been learning some neat stuff on Photoshop.
