OK, I'm going to take it upon my self to make some changes with AFMOTY this year. It appears that there is some interest, but I'm not sure I want to commit my time and time of people who inevitably would have to help me with this, unless we get a good number of people wanting to participate.

So the purpose of this thread is simple - if you want to participate in the contest - post the photo of your entry here, in this thread. If we have enough entries, we'll run the contest. If we don't get to say, 20-25 contestants - we'll scrap it and nobody gets hurt :)

The guidelines are the same as always - post ONE 1600x1200 max (could be smaller) picture of the model you have built in 2020 (could be any scale car, bike, racing car or bike, truck - any automotive subject, really - no armor) with short description (i.e. Tamiya 1/24 Ferrari 360 Spider, Rossa Corsa w/PE from Blah,blah). Include a link to your AF completed thread from Completed section, or WIP thread. Only members registered before 12.31.20 will be allowed to participate.

This will stay open through January 10th to allow people finishing their projects on Dec. 31st to make submissions. But the model HAS TO BE POSTED here on AF in WIP, or Completed section BEFORE the end of the year.

I'll kick this off with my entry and an example.

Tamiya 1/24 Alfa Romeo GTV (1996) Twin Spark 16V:

Is WIP or completed thread in forums a requirement ? I have 2 models I finished, but I did not post any related threads on AF

Yes, its Automotive Forums Model of the Year, after all. If it is not on AF, then it does not qualify. Not too late to post pictures of the completed model in the Completed section, though.

This might be my situation if I can finish my Ferrari California models (at least 1 of the 3) before 12/31.

Technically, the submission period ended on January 3rd. And even counting the entries submitted after that date, we still have not gotten to even 20 entries... At this point I'm going to let the thread remain open till the 10th in a last ditch effort to get some participation, but if the quorum is not met then, the contest won't happen.

I'm extremely busy with work and likely will remain busy through the end of March.
However, if somebody is willing to take charge in organization efforts, please PM me.
Thanks!
Alex

The entry for the contest thread is now CLOSED.
Unfortunately, we didn't get any more entries, and as such, the AFMOTY 2020 will not be held. Thanks to everyone who entered, you all built beautiful models and I declare you all winners!
