Hey everyone!

Congratulations once again to the winners of Round 2 at hogwartslims:

Last Icon Maker Standing: crusading_soul
First Runner-Up Icon Maker: rvillarrubia
Second Runner-Up Icon Maker: scatteredintime

Excellent job to all of you!

I have some shiny award banners made for y'all, and I also thought it'd be fun to give each of you a sigtag of your success as well. These can be found in the cut below. Y'all did fantastic, great icons! I gotta say, I think it's pretty awesome that Mary was able to take the whole thing as a comeback competitor :D But you all did awesome, so congratulations again! ♥

( shinies for our winners in here! )

First off, thank you so much to all our regular voters! Believe me when I say I know who you are and I appreciate it very much <3

A big thank you already to Alicia/blackestbird, who volunteered to make banners for our winners. She will post them to the community shortly.

So here are the results for the 13th challenge of round one, and overall results for round two.

A note on the deadline: I will be gone on vacation from December 21st, and I would really like to get this round finished before I leave. But I know it's a busy time for everyone, and it's not a lot of time for making three entries. So I'd like all of the participants to check in with me as soon possible to let me know if they can work with that deadline or if they want me to push it back, please. :)

Thanks for voting everyone! Here are the results for the 12th challenge of round two.
