MWC ROTM Chapter Shootout submission thread

MWC ROTM Chapter Shootout submission thread. I was asked by your local BOD to help out with the MWC entry into the 2011 chapter shootout. Seems like your local guys are a bit busy catching up with the real world after Winterfest.

For the sake of simplicity, the usual ROTM rules apply for the chapter submissions. First 5 red letter entries into this thread will be voted on. The winner will compete against the other chapter submissions for the chapter shootout in April.

Only red letter Midwest chapter members can submit their rigs. Good luck.


So you want to be in the Rig of the Month? Want to know how to get in?

The following rules apply:

Around the first of each month an official submission thread will open in the Picture Showcase forum.

First 5 rigs entered into this specific submission thread will be voted on. Each entry needs to include 2 pics and a list of mods to be considered. Thread will be edited 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.

Some months there will be a theme for submissions. Entries that do not meet the theme requirements will be deleted.

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 NAXJA announcements as well.

All pictures submitted to the ROTM submission thread must have high resolution files available and have the permission of the photographer for use in the ROTM end of year calendar. If you do not have a high resolution image available then DO NOT POST THE PICTURE. If you do not have the photographer's permission to use the picture, without photo credit being given, then DO NOT POST THE PIC.

Winners each month will be required to submit both the high res picture files and photographer permission prior to your photos being put on the front page. If you cannot provide the high resolution images or permissions then you will forfeit your win, and the second place rig will take your place.

Each year we will hold a Rig of the Year contest in December. Only former rig of the month winners from the past calender year are eligible for Rig of the Year.

Any ROTM winner who is no longer a NAXJA member at the time of the Rig of the Year vote will be disqualified and ineligible for ROTY.
