So the rules so far:

1. Pictures must be 640x480.
2. No photo-shopping (except for the obscuring of a license plate)
3. No people (except in action shots when someone is driving the truck, or the random person caught in the background)
4. No illegal or dangerous depictions.
5. Must be your own truck
6. 1 picture submission per member per contest. When submitting, you can write a description of any mods not visible in the pic, or any special things about your truck that other members should take into consideration when voting.

Am I missing anything?

Also, I assume I could get submissions through a sticky then put the pix on a poll for all the members to vote on...right? I was thinking about giving the participants a few weeks to get all the pix submitted and then the same amount of time for everyone to vote on them. Once the votes are tallied, how do I go about getting the winner's pic posted to where everyone can see it?

Any suggestions?

Adding to what you have

Truck of the Month rules

1. Pictures must be 640x480 pixels or less.
2. No photo-shopping (except for the obscuring of a license plate)
3. No people (except in action shots when someone is driving the truck, or the random person caught in the background)
4. No illegal or dangerous depictions.
5. Must be your own truck
6. 1 picture submission per member per contest. When submitting, you can write a description of any mods not visible in the pic, or any special things about your truck that other members should take into consideration when voting.

How does this sound?

7. Winners may not reenter the monthly contest.

We could have one/new thread/poll for each month of the contest.

Each monthly contest will be limited to the first five pictures that get posted. Others will be deleted. If a Tuck of the Year is done it would be limited to the 12 monthly winners. I can trans fer the PIX of the monthly winners to a new tread/poll for the yearly contest.

In case of a tie a secret vote will be cast by non-members.  

Keep thinking of ways that will keep people in line and happy... Surely someone will get their feelings severely smashed...

Have a good one.. Don S..

I was going to let 'thedave360' run it and back him up with what ever moderating and moving stuff around that he needed.

Rule #8. Voting ceases Seven days after the end of the month.  I should be able to lock the thread at 12 midnight CST or Daylight savings time. I don't know if a member that starts a thread can lock it.

... Another rule might be no posting on the thread with the contest pictures. The thread might get over run with questions and answers. What do you guys think? I don't believe the thread could be locked after the first five post photo and the members still VOTE.

Good rules will help the members stay happy. People feel strongly about their trucks and losers can get unhappy... Been there, done that!

I believe the Poll keeps a running count that anyone can click on. Once the thread locked it is over with. They will be voting for picture #1 thru #5... And the winner with the count gets his ego stroked. That's a pretty good prize!

Have a good one.. Don S..

Now the whole world is going to hate America for burning food in our trucks. Can you spell Corn Ethanol?

1. Pictures must be 640x480 pixels or less.
2. No photo-shopping (except for the obscuring of a license plate)
3. No people (except in action shots when someone is driving the truck, or the random person caught in the background)
4. No illegal or dangerous depictions.
5. Must be your own Nissan Frontier
6. 1 picture submission per member per contest. When submitting, you can write a description of any mods not visible in the pic, or any special things about your truck that other members should take into consideration when voting.
7. Winners may not reenter the monthly contest.
8. No posting on the thread with the contest pictures.
9. Polls close 7 days after the end of the month.

Should I open a thread for submissions, and push the voting deadline back a few days for this month so we can have one for May?

Also, would it be unethical for me to enter the contest since this whole thing was my Idea? I don't really think so, since I can't really "rig" the voting.

If everyone is cool with this, I can set it up to get submissions for tomorrow and after we get 5 pics, I can set up the polls to close on May 7th.

thedave360;

It looks great to me... do it .     Post the rules at the top of each monthly contest poll.

FRONTIER TRUCK of the MONTH

Each monthly contest will be limited to the first five pictures that get posted. Others will be deleted. If a Truck of the Year is done it would be limited to the 12 monthly winners.

These will be the official rules of the contest. We reserve the right to alter the rules as needed for the enhancement of the contest.

1. One picture of 640x480 pixels or less per entrant. No links
2. No photo-shopping (except for the obscuring of a license plate)
3. No people (except in action shots when someone is driving the truck, or the random person caught in the background)
4. No illegal or dangerous depictions.
5. Must be your own Nissan Frontier
6. When submitting, you can write a description of any mods not visible in the pic, or any special things about your truck that other members should take into consideration when voting.
7. Winners may not reenter the monthly contest.
8.
No posting on the thread with the contest pictures.
9. Polls close at the end of the month that they are started in.

10. Please, One vote per member.

Have a good one and see you later… Don S..

It would be nice if our members would add their vehicle information to their signature (similar to mine) plus add their City and State .

A member in the same town might be willing to drop by and help you with a problem. Or drink all your beer! One took my wife!... J/K

Ok sounds great.

I was thinking about giving everyone some notice before we open a thread for submissions. Just because some people might not have a decent pic of their truck just lying around somewhere, and to give them some time to clean up their ride (or get it dirty if thats the case) and take a good pic. How about next week I'll open the thread for submissions, and after there are 5 entrants, lock the thread and open the polls. Then we could let the voting go on until the end of the month on may 31, instead of 7 days after...then announce the winner to be NissanFrontier.org's June '08 Truck of the Month. I know the rules say 7 days after the end of the month, but I think its going to work better this way.

I think that sounds good, what about yall?
