********************************************************************************************************


Koffice Development Group is proud to announce "The  Icon Kontest" which will 
be an icon design contest for Koffice , integrated  office suite for KDE 
Desktop Environment. With this contest we would like to get Koffice ready
for 1.3 release visually. On the other hand, developers  are already working 
to develop core system of Koffice. What we hope is to achieve better visual
appeal as good as its core.


Applying for "The Icon Kontest"

Everyone is free to enter the contest. You can apply alone or as a group of
designers. You should submit 2 materials :

1- Screenshot of all icons together at a reasonable size ( 22x22 or 32x32 )
2- And a link to the icon package ( You shouldn't send the whole package! )

All applications via e-mails should be sent to voidcartman@yahoo.com 
( CC koffice@kde.org too ) with the necessary material attached.


"The Icon Kontest" Timeline

Contest will be run for two (2) months. After two months all icons will be 
examined by core Koffice developers & Koffice users, and the artist/group who 
win the contest will be announced in the following week .

Aim of "The Icon Kontest"

Our aim is basically to create a brand new Koffice with better User
Interface together with its powerful core.

Icons to Create :

In the context of the contest, every artist is supposed to create icons for
the following Koffice applications :

-- KoShell ( Work area for Koffice )
-- Kword ( Word Processing Suite )
-- KSpread ( Excel-like application )
-- KPresenter ( A presentation application similar to PowerPoint )
-- Krita ( An image creation/manipulation program )
-- Karbon14 ( A SVG creation/manipulation program )
-- Kformula ( A mathematical tool to create/edit formulas )
-- Kugar & Kugar Designer ( Report creating programs )
-- Kivio ( A Visio like application )

Not only main application icons but toolbar icons should also be designed as
well . Hence, every artist should  have a copy of a recent 
version ( 1.2.1 or CVS-Head  ) of Koffice.

All Icon packages must contain 22x22, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128 sized
icons for main applications and 22x22, 32x32  sized icons for the other
parts ( toolbars , menus etc ) .

Preferred icon format is SVG ( PNG is acceptable too ) and preferred icon 
style is Crystal SVG . 

The Award:

KDE ( as any other free software project ) is a non-profit organization. And
Koffice developers are just volunteers around the world gathered to
create free software. So the award for the contest will be  the 
acknowledgement to the winning designers in the Koffice source and all 
Koffice programs rather than money.

Legal Issues :

All submitted icons must belong to the artist/ group who submits it. Icons
belonging any other 3rd party will not be accepted for the contest. Icon
licenses must be under LGPL as official KDE icons are under that license.
