About: | 
Welcome! to nonficticon, a community specifically designed for the pleasure of all those who are a tad wary of seeing all those anime and game icons out there. Here users can nominate icons for various awards in competition with other icon makers. Membership is open to everyone, so we encourage anyone who likes a good competition to come out and have a go.
Fortunately for the founder(s) of nonficticon, the community received the blessing of the_icon_ritz. This community strongly resembles that of The Ritz in the rules, and style in which the user info is written. For the use of this format and many other ideas and things, we have obtained the permission of the moderator of The Ritz, digitalised [Lauren]. The Ritz is the famous community in which NF has been strongly based upon. Now, don't worry about it being a total clone community, this community is designed to accomodate real/reality/realistic/life-like icons. That means no anime, no doujinshi, no game icons.
This community was founded on November 7, 2003 by gonetomorrow and is currently maintained by the magnificent trio gonetomorrow [Pam], angelofsin [Mara], & emoterellish [Vicky]. It is currently run by the trio with the addition of [Lauren] gigaflarex, [Laura] lauranobaka, [Megumi] anibunny, & [Brit] yogurtpixi |

Pre-Rule Notification: This is not an awards community for icons that are of anime, game, doujinshi, or anything of that sort. If you're looking for those I recommend either the_icon_ritz or midclass_icons.
1. This is an awards community for individual icons & not an icon request community or a general awards community. There are to be no icon requests or nominations for categories that have nothing to do with livejournal icons. Any misunderstandings should be directed to the moderators. Any violation will result in prompt action by the moderators.
2. Nominations will be cut off at 8:00 PM EDT every Friday. Any nominatiosn made after this time will be placed in next week's round-up. The results of each round-up will be posted before or on the following Monday and can be viewed at nf_victors.
3. Only members of this community may nominate icons. However, the people being nominated do not have to be a member of NF.
4. For every nomination, the icon, the category the icon is being nominated in, and the username of the creator (not their icon journal) must be listed. If any of these aspects are not posted along with the nomination, the icon will be automatically disqualified come round-up.
5.Any one user can nomination up to 10 icons a week. Out of these ten nominations, only three may be self-nominations and for every self-nomination we require you nominate one other person. Nomination ten icons may mean doing any of the following: nominating one icon in ten categories, nomination ten different icons in one category, nominating ten different icons in ten different categories, nomination one icon for seven categories & three different icons for three different categories.
6. The icon you are nominating must fit into its respective category under which it is nominated. This means that an icon nominated in the Most Artistic category must be from the users personal photography and not of a picture photographed by someone else [that would be Best Photo]. If the icon does not fall under the conditions of its category it will be disqualified. Interpretation of the categories is left up to the moderators.
7. An individual icon may not win in the same category twice. We moderators ask, that before nominating an icon, refer to the winners community [ nf_victors] to see if it has previously won in a specific category. If an icon has not won an award, there is no limit as to how many times you can nominate it.
Also, and icon maker may not win the in same category two weeks in a row. So please check the winners community [ nf_victors] to keep up to date on who won what.
8. Icon sets done by the user nominating are not permitted. There are specific award communities that provide that option.
9. Any advertising done in this community must be relevent to the subject of this community. That is.. icons. Any spam advertising or adversiting a community will be dealt with accordingly. Any adversiting in violation of the LiveJournal Terms of Service is not allowed. |

The following categories are used on a daily basis at NF:
Best Animated Best Creature Best Fantasy Best Foreign Best Inanimate Best Landscape Best Movie Best Mute Best Performer(s) Best Silver Screen Best Silvery [musical silvery] Best Snapshot Best Television Most Appealing Most Artistic Most Romantic Most Sentimental Most Waggish Out-of-the-Box Que?
