Hear ye, hear ye! The second official EMOJI DESIGN CHALLENGE has begun!!
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Do you find yourself always making the same kind of face when reading a thread? Do you wish for an emoji that conveys all of your "ahhhhhhh thank you so much!!!" after a successful trade?
Then show us your creative skills by designing an emoji that encapsulates the spirit of clraik. The winning emojis, as voted upon by the community, will be added to the forum and the Discord server!
This contest will consist of two overlapping periods - the "Submission" period, during which votes can still be cast, and the "Home Stretch" period, during which no new submissions will be allowed, but votes can still be cast.
Submission Period: November 7, 2022 - November 21, 2022, 11:59 PM PST.
Home Stretch Period: November 22, 2020 - November 27, 2022, 11:59 PM PST.
(PST is the same as Neopian Standard Time.)
Q: How do I enter?
A: Post your newly created emoji in this thread for all to see, with a short (2-3 sentences) description as its meaning! Your emoji can be anything: you don't have to limit yourself to a twist on a traditional yellow smiley. Think outside the box and show us your creativity!
Q: How do I vote?
A: You can vote for an emoji by clicking the Thanks icon - [Only registered and activated users can see links] - on the emoji's post.
Q: I can vote for multiple emojis?
A: Yes! In the event of a tie, admins Joe and Bat will choose a winner.
