I think if it runs longer than 4 weeks, I'll forget all about it.
Actually, I run that risk with any contest that goes on for longer than two weeks. :lol:
So, yeah. I think 4 weeks should be the maximum.

I wanted to say 4-5 because 3 is too short for me. so I voted 5-6 :dummy:

I think it depends on the contest. I personally like the short ones at #EmoticonOpus. But if it's a big contest with big prizes, I would like some more time to come up with something awesome ;)

I think it would depend, but for someone famous (like Syn) I'd say 3 to 4 weeks, because it wouldn't take long to get a ton of entries. :P

4 weeks seems just about right.

4-5 weeks seems to be faire :B
In a month, you have enough time to do a little entry, even if you're very busy. And if you want to enter with a big entry, then you also can because their's enough time :aww:

The 3months about the Valentine's Day contest are a bit too long :whisper:

:nod: i generally feel 4-6 weeks is best. 4 weeks allows people time to think big and create awesome emotes and 6 weeks is short enough the contest doesn't drag on forever

What a dealine? :giggle:

Usually when I hold contests, it's not much longer than a month. But, it depends on how well it gets promoted, because sometimes you don't get that many entries in the first week or so, so I think that's a factor.
