how do I properly source badges? (1 Viewer)

[anyu]

I want to make badges but can't figure out how to source them.
for example, if I wanted to make a badge from this photo:

I found it here: https://kpopping.com/kpics/izna-N-a-1st-Mini-Album-Concept-Photos but can't find any other source that's not fan-posted. how should I go about this?

I don’t think it matters as long as it’s still a photo officially released by the idol or company and not a fansite photo taken by a fansite. Where you get it shouldn’t matter much. @Day my official awards source to confirm.

Just make sure that the photo come from an official photoshoot and not from fansites, selfies, ect. This photo would still be fine to use

I think you’d have to ask the awards team beforehand if you can make a badge thread for the artist you wanna make badges with, and then they can confirm if you’re fine to make a badge thread for said artist. That’s how you apply to make badges and have them officially sourced onto the badges section

There’s more info about that in this thread, just refer to the OP

This seems like it was their teaser so you'll probs find it on their twitter or Soompi if the group is well-known
Kpop wiki (like the fandom pages) is also a great way to find official pics

I want to make badges ....

....

....how should I go about this?

If u read the badge thread quoted above, I think u hv to wait till there are a few orat least 1 cb, or else there aren't enuf put to vote for their badges(also users here might not vote in ur badge thread as much rn as after 1 or 2 cbs).

If u rlly like izna n want izna badges to happen/exist on KS quickly-support/promote em by posting in their artist threads/like the posts there pls! It might not work totally but just manifesting badges for a new rookie grp might not magically happen just cos 1 user wishes it to. I don't stan or listen much to izna, srry if I'm hashing ur enthusiasm/buzz kill ur badge making will/motivation(I find it in my character to be brutally honest instead of giving false hope, srry again. Ask @/day maybe if she can help u with support/shout out users who might want izna badges; u can tag me as I hv lots of slots for badges n I'm not averse to getting izna badges when u make em/vote in ur izna badge making thread) good luck n happy badge making.
