Lets get some stuff straight here: Everyone can enter as many icons as they want. If they don't and whine afterwards they were disadvantaged, they're idiots. If 1 person may enter multiple icons, so may the other. Nothing unfair about it. And if you say "But some aren't very fast at iconing, so they can't make as much as other people, so they're disadvantaged" then you need to reconsider the meaning of a contest.
The key part of a contest is a test of skill, which include the time taken to make it. If you're faster, you're better there, which is your advantage over someone who isn't just as fast. But ofcourse that's no reason to call it unfair. You could say "Let's make this contest fair by telling everyone they have to make a Phoenix icon that's based on this image. Then everyone will be judged equally, because they're all the same!". That doesn't get you anywhere, which is the same case with this 4 or more icons discussion.
