Round 1: Icons
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the revival of the contest section going fairly well, I thought what we needed is a greater variety of contests. I love all things LotR and the like [..okay, so that's a fairly obvious statement] but I think to get the contest section back to what it was, we need different themed contests as well. That's started to happen now, so hopefully this should appeal to some people
So, this contest is a reinvention/revival of Ammy's contest. I loved it, although I never joined, so I think it's a good idea to revive it. So I'm going to base the layout etc on the original.
I'm going to do my best to honour it/make this one as good as that was [*gulp* note the do my best part of that

But I shall take you off for now 
Two entries isn't really a contest.
