Game of Thrones Icon Tourney - Let the Challenge Begin!

[novindalf]

Below you will find all the themes for the tourney. Make at most one icon for each of the themes, and there is no minimum to the number of themes you have to fulfil. At the end of the tourney voting will take place for the best icon for each theme, with 2 points for 1st place and 1 point for 2nd place, and these points will be added up to find the overall champion and runner-up.

The Rules

♛ You must be signed up in order to take part. Sign-ups are open for the duration of the tourney here.
♛ Icons must fit LJ standards, so 40kb or less and exactly 100x100px. To make it fairer, animated icons are not allowed.
♛ You can make as few or as many icons as you want in total (i.e. anything from 1 to 30), but you can only make one icon for each theme. Even if you only manage to make a couple of icons in total, please do submit them!
♛ Submit your icons here only. Comments are screened for the duration of the tourney so please don't share your icons elsewhere until the results go up, that way it's all a surprise.
♛ You do not have to submit all your icons at once! Submit as many as you want at a time, and then just go back and edit your submission if you want to add any more icons/change your entry.
♛ Please indicate which icon is for which theme (just the number will do)!
♛ There will be voting on favourite icons for each theme at the end of the tourney. If you do not want your icons to be included in the voting, please let me know in your submission comment.
♛ The tourney will end on Saturday 26th September at 00:00 GMT (countdown here). There will not be any extensions, but there will be plenty of reminders, and you can make as many (or as few) icons as you want.
♛ Any questions? Ask them here!
