Icon Challenge #52 - American Idol:Season 8 ~ Winners Up!

Ok new challenge here we go . Sorry this is up so quick but RL is hectic so if I didn't put it up now I wouldn't be able to later. This challenge is specifically for Season 8 of the hit reality tv show American Idol. Your icons can have one Idol contestant or many the choice is yours. You can do icons of auditionees if you like . Also fine to do icons of the Judges and of Ryan Seacrest aswell as guest mentors and other artists that perform on the results shows .

Here are the RULES – please read them carefully before creating your icon and entering it:

[1] You can enter up to 4 icons = 3 100 x100 icons + 1 icon in the size 140x140. PLEASE NOTE - if you are going to make more than 1 icon, please use a different image for each one.

[2] You have until 3 p.m. GMT+1 Sunday 7th June (If you need this extending due to RL (I for one know how this can be) I'd happily extend it for you but you have to let me know ASAP) to complete your icon and submit it. PM your entry to me, shazza_018.

[3] Your icons must be 100x100 or 140x140 pixels in size – if it is any bigger, it will be re-sized, and those never look so good. So please make sure to make your icon so it is those particular sizes. ***this is important I don't want to have to resize icons myself as it is time consuming and will delay voting being put so please size your enteries correctly.

[4] I don’t want to see any vulgar words or phrases in the icons. If there is something in them that can be considered offensive, your icon will not be accepted.

[5] You may use any caps you like but feel free to use the ones I provide. Please be aware caps from or relating to the show most only be used and no others. This challenge is specifically for American Idol as a show and not a particular contestant/winner.

[6] No animated icons.

[7] We're going to try catergories for this challenge cause I think this is much more better and fair on everyone. There are THREE categories to this challenge - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (If entering in Intermediate level, please include a second level -either Beginner and Advanced- incase there isn't enough entries for 3 levels) Please go the Fan Art Forum if you need help determining what category to enter. Please be fair to others. If you keep winning in beginners, move up to intermediate; let someone else win beginners and see if you place in intermediate and so on. That's how you get better, by challenging yourself.

[8] Most importantly, as this is an anonymous challenge, YOU MUST NOT POST YOUR ICONS HERE (or anywhere else). If you do, you will be disqualified. This is make sure that the voting is unbiased, and so everyone has a fair chance of winning a banner.

HOW TO SEND A PM

I wasn't gonna enter, but some of the caps are just too cute to pass up. So, I'm in and I suspect I'm going to have a lot of icons left over. :lol: (meaning I'll end up making more than 4 :lol: )

Okay since I got this question so I'll just okay it here to: it is also fine to do icons of the Judges and of Ryan Seacrest aswell as guest mentors and other artists that perform on the results shows i.e. David Cook, Daughtry to name a few of those who performed this year.
