A reminder that you can suggest screencaps to be posted to capspiration, and therefore to be included in the challenges here!

Screencaps suggestion post here!

luminousdaze has pointed out that although the challenge theme is 'chiaroscuro', the definition and examples used in the challenge post are more along the lines of 'tenebrism' than strictly 'chiaroscuro'.

I wasn't aware of this distinction before, so I will accept any icons that follow the theme of either tenebrism or chiaroscuro.

Just a brief reminder for people to tag their entries properly, or they may be missed out of voting :/

Correct format is: challenge 023, maker: novindalf, ~entries

Thanks!

Would anyone mind if I entered the challenges too? I know I pick the themes but I do take suggestions and I don't actually pick the screencaps, plus all voting is open...

[Poll #2061087]

I'll close the poll in a couple of days, just want to be pretty fair about this :)

I think it's fair to say you're cool with that, thanks!

Feel free to suggest themes for future challenges, or any other potential improvements you have for the comm!

Hi guys, I'm your new mod here at capicontest!

I'm waiting for some computer issues to be fixed at my end but then challenges will resume as soon as possible. In the mean time I thought I'd say hi and let you know about a couple of changes I'll be making to the comm, as well as open up for any suggestions you may have.

1) Challenges will be bi-weekly instead of weekly, to give participants more time to enter.
2) All the screencaps valid for each challenge will now be included in the post.

Challenge 017: Heating Up is now closed and voting will be going up shortly!

Feel free to leave any suggestions in the comments to this post :)

Good Morning!

I've had quite an interesting week, and as such have neglected my modly duties of capicontest. That said, I ask that any members willing to enter, please do so. I would like to extend Challenge #016 - Keep It Simple until 6 pm EST today. That gives about seven more hours to enter.

I would also like to set up a future challenges list and a schedule that works so anyone entering has a better idea of what to expect. Do not be surprised by an influx of posts, although I do apologize to your F-Lists. That's all for now!

Hi everyone! I recently started a new job and my spring semester starts on Tuesday. I need to get used to this busy schedule! I don't know how much time I'll be able to devote to capicontest. If anyone would like to be a co-mod (which right now means you'll be handling challenges every week for a while), leave a comment here. If no one is interested, then the community will be on hiatus for at least a couple weeks, if not longer. I will post the winners for the latest challenge in a few days. Thanks for understanding!

capicontest is a weekly icon challenge community where the challenges center around the caps posted at capspiration every week. This community is open to everyone to enter. Your mods are vapor and wandererjulia.

general rules
-Icons must be made new for this challenge.
-You can create up to four icons for the challenge.
-Post your icons in a new entry tagged like so: "maker: username, challenge ###, entries".
-Icons can only be made from the caps posted in the designated week at capspiration.

other things
-Challenges will run from Saturday to Saturday.
-The first place winner will be the community's default icon for the week.
