At long last, I've finally got everything sorted out and ready to open up the contest! This'll be my first time running anything like this so please have patience with me as it goes on. So let's stop wasting time and get to the details!

The goal of the contest is to get the members of the group involved in creating a new icon for the group-one that fits the group's goal of promoting dragon artists.

RULES:

You can submit more than one icon, but keep in mind that they will be chosen on quality, so take your time on each!

Entries MUST have something to do with dragons-it doesn't have to be a picture of one as long as it's somehow related (fonts with dragon wings/tails, etc)

All entries must have the group's name placed somewhere in the icon in legible text

Icons without animation are welcome

Be creative, try and think of ways to make the icon eye-catching but not eye-scorching (watch the saturation and colour scheme)

Keep it SFW please

If anyone would like to collaborate with one another to make an icon, you're more than welcome to do so, but please notify me first so I know to list both (or however many are involved) of you for the entry!

The group's rules still apply to the icon-so no tracing, heavily referencing, or otherwise stealing art to make the icon!

Make sure the icon fits the 50x100 pixel size, anything too big or too small won't be counted as I'll be unable to use it.

Be respectful and encouraging to others entered in the contest-anyone sending rude messages will be removed from the contest.
