Just wondering, besides the recognition of a great looking bike, what else there is to ROTM.

TIA

 

Read the rules and guidelines in the top post....

 

I did, and don't see the answer anywhere. That's why I asked.

number one...every post in this section is under strict review by the admin. nothing, and I mean NOTHING is to be posted here that is non-COTM related. the way it will work: i will announce a start day for nominations. to be nominated, the member must have a gallery and be an active member. by active, i mean that members who haven’t posted since July of 03 are not eligible. before anyone asks, lets set it at this...to be active, it means you must have at least 5 posts in the month in question, and the month before. you can not nominate yourself. you can not be ROTM 2 months in a row, although anyone who has already won, can win again. nominations will be limited to 5 per month. the nominations will be closed once we reach 5, or after 2 weeks.

The way nominations will officially work:

1. Someone nominates Joes 2004 600RR
2. Someone else seconds that nomination for Joes 2004 600RR (at this point, the nomination is official)
3. Joe accepts the nomination, thus locking it in for voting.

If, in the first hour of nomination week, 50 people are nominated, and seconded, the first 5 to accept are officially entered in the contest.


once nominations are closed, the members who are nominated are permitted to post more pictures in the voting thread. Users are not to start any topics in this section without permission.

 

Thats all there is to it....not to hard to understand..lol

As long as your active on the site, if someone likes your bike...they will nominate it. then if you get seconded you can accept....and your in!! Simply as pie!

 

I think the answer you are looking for is that if you are the winner of BOTM, a photo of your bike appears on the homepage and a link provides an additional photo and a write up of your bike. You will also be in the running for the BOTY (Bike of the Year) competition. ADMINS... correct me if I am wrong here.

I think what he's asking is "what do I get if I win?" ... right?

Only your freakin bike in a calendar (Napolean Dynamite voice)

There is no prize, per se. Perhaps if we can show enough interest in the competition as a group (read: 300+ votes) then maybe one of our sponsors will step up and offer up a prize each month. But ya gotta make it worth their while. I mean with a board this size and only 150 or so regular voters it really isn't worth a lot.

 

Thank you. That's what I was looking for. I will be sure to vote every month. Too many great looking bikes not to.
