Official submission thread for July Rig of the Month.

Same rules apply as last month.

This thread will remain locked until Monday July 6th. It will be unlocked on the 6th sometime around 8:00 PM eastern time for submissions.

This delay in opening the thread is intended to allow some lead time for those who want to submit their rigs.

Remember, the winner each month will be featured on the front page and be eligible for the Rig of the Year vote in December.

Re: Official submission thread for July Rig of the Month

Now Open.

The following rules will apply, although a few tweaks here and there will probably be needed at some point:

First 5 rigs entered into a specific submission thread started in the pic showcase. Each entry needs to include 2 pics and a list of mods to be considered. Thread would be edited and locked and left with only the first 5 entries.

A proper submission should include 2 pics, usually one driveway or poser shot and an action shot, along with some details about your rig.

Red letter names only for rigs submitted, everyone is allowed to vote.

Winners each month will get some face time on the front page, but the amount of time is not guaranteed. The front page should be made available for other announcements as well.

At the end of the year we will hold a rig of the year contest. Only former rig of the month winners from the past calender year are eligible for rig of the year.
