Surprise, surprise! I actually had free time tonight, so I figured I'd play catch up.

Let me know when you pick them up!

Also, while I'm here, I'll throw in another reminder about the current challenge "The Tranquility Award". Deadline is Sunday night!

"Keep quiet and people will think you a philosopher."

Hey everybody. In to reminder you about our current challenge "The Tranquility Award". We currently have 3 entries, but you've got until Sunday night at midnight to get your entries in.

“All noise is waste. So cultivate quietness in your speech, in your thoughts, in your emotions. Speak habitually low. Wait for attention and then your low words will be charged with dynamite.” - Elbert Hubbard

So since we didn't get anymore entries for "The Hottest in the Office Award" (part of which I suspect may on me; sorry guys! I think I may have found a co-mod though), I'm just going to call it a wash. The four of you who did participate will each get a Dundie though. :) (I haven't forgotten about the other banners from the challenge before btw; I'm just short on free time at the moment.)

Anyway, on to the next award! This time we're giving out The Tranquility Award.

This is a textless challenge. No words, no letters, no tiny text. Relatively simple, no?

The usual rules:
- Entries must fit LJ standards (no more than 100x100/40KB).
- Entries must be original and remain secret until the contest is finished and the results revealed.
- Brushes, textures, animation, and other effects are allowed.
- You may submit up to 3 icons.

Submission form example:
<img src="http://yoururlhere.com"> URL: http://yoururlhere.com <img src="http://yoururlhere.com"> URL: http://yoururlhere.com <img src="http://yoururlhere.com"> URL: http://yoururlhere.com

Submissions will go on until Sunday, January 25 at 12:00 AM CST. Good luck!

Hey there! Here again to remind you all about the current challenge, The Hottest in the Office Award. We have 4 entries, but you've got until Sunday night to get your entries.

I'm very flattered. I was his second choice after pass.

Since we only have 4 entries for our current challenge, The Hottest in the Office Award, I'm extending the challenge until next Sunday night at 11:00 p.m..

If I had to, I could clean out my desk in five seconds, and nobody would ever know I had ever been here. And I'd forget, too.

Just popping in to remind you all about the current challenge, The Hottest in the Office Award. We have 2 entries at the moment, but you've got until Sunday night to get your entries.

People keep calling me a 'wunderkind.' I don't even know what that means. But, I mean I know what it means. It means, very successful for your age. So I guess that makes sense. But, weird word.

Time for the Hottest in the Office Award! Give me your best Ryan Howard icons!

P.S. Due to my suddenly hectic work schedule (which I'm hoping is temporary), I'm now on the search for an Assistant to the Dundies Mod...or Assistant Dundies Mod...or a co-mod, whatever you'd like to call yourself. :)

Previous modding experience a plus (icontest modding is a plus plus), but not absolutely required. If you're interested, just leave me a comment here with a brief summary of your experience. Thanks!

Time for the results!
