maker activity (no. 20)

Hello, magic people! It's time for
magicmachine maker activity nº 20 (!), and we're doing something different this time.CALLING ALL ICON MAKERS OUT THERE FOR EXCITEMENTTTT!!!
Over the course of two weeks, icon challenges will pop up at random times of the day (or night) with different themes. There'll be inspirational themes, technical themes, specific themes, but they've got one thing in common: THEY'RE SHORT. You'll have from 1 to 24h to make up to two icons and enter the challenges before they close! There's no previous sign-up required, you only need to submit your icons when the challenge post goes up.
AND THERE ARE PRIZES!
Here's the catch: You don't actually know what you get until the last challenge ends and we announce the voting results. Actually... you don't know when the challenges will be up either! So stick to your screen and refresh your f-list every five minutes not to waste any second of the precious time.
After every challenge there will be a voting, and the winners will be featured in huge sparkly hall of fame post here at
magicmachine so we can all stare and marvel at the pretty!
Uhhm... well, besides that.
For winning the challenges you can get of the following prizes, made awesomely and specially for you by our lovely

tasting selection: the winner picks what they want from the participant makers (up to 20 icons & textures)
To assure you there'll be no cheating when delivering the prizes, here is a downloadable .zip with the themes and what goes to the winner of each challenge. It's password protected, though, and I'll only tell you the password once the whole shebang ends (please do not crack it and spoil the fun :v).
Magic Makers will sit this one out, so no one with prior knowledge of the prize assignment/schedule is participating.
Also, PIMP IT

come participate!
Tl;dr: MAKE ICONS, GET PRIZES, HAVE FUN!
Fun, right? :D I hope you all participate! Since this will require quite a number of posts and we don't want to spam this comm and bother those who aren't interested, let me direct you to our brand spanking new playground...

Please watch it if you're interested on participating (I hope you are!), since we're posting the challenges there, starting around a week from now. It's watch-only, no need to join!
We're also planning to have more interactive activities, maker-member mixers et all, and they will be held there for more space. Basically a place where we all can have fun together. Spread the word! :D
