Show your models and win free models every month!
5th year with you and your models!
Every month we give free models to best model in Cars contest (all cars,
trucks and motorcycles).
You only need to send your model for contest.
Address is: http://www.hrmodeler.com/bmom/
What can compete?
Any kind of scale model, without exception, is welcome. Remember, though,
that a modeller may not enter the contest if he or she has been a winner of
the Best Model of the Month contest in the previous three months.
Models and categories!
The contest has one categories. The "Cars" category includes automobiles,
trucks and motorcycles.
How do I submit my picture(s)?
You may e-mail them to me as file attachments. This is by far the easiest
way. You can use the body of the E-mail to describe the model. The
description can be as long or short as you like. The choice is yours. And
finally, please remember to include your first and last name in the e-mail.
I will not post it during contest, but I will put it in the results.
If your photos are already online, posted on web pages, simply tell me where
they are located and I will pick them up from there.
My e-mail address is: modeler@hrmodeler.com
Picture submitting DEADLINE.
Your pictures must be in by midnight GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) on the 20th
day of the current month. Pictures submitted after this date will be
transferred to the following month´s contest.
How many models and pictures can I submit?
And how about filetype and size?
You may enter ONLY ONE model in each month's contest, with a maximum of four
(4) photos of that model. JPEG is the preferred format for these photos;
pictures in other formats will be converted to jpegs. I do this in order to
be able to control the size of the picture-file. I´ll try to keep the size
below 100 Kilobytes in order to get a fast loading page. Finally, please try
to keep the width of the pictures to 720 pixels maximum. Larger photos will
be resized.
Voting and awards:
Voting begins on the 21st day of each month and ends on the last day of that
month, in both cases at Midnight, Greenwich Mean Time.
The model that receives the highest number of votes from the public will
become the "Best Model Of The Month, People's Choice".
The points awarded to the First, Second and Third Place "People's Choice"
winners in each of the two categories will be combined with the points
awarded to each entered model by our panel of judges to decide the "CONTEST
WINNER" for each category. Prizes will be awarded to the CONTEST WINNER of
each category in each month's contest. There will be NO award for "WINNER OF
CONTEST BY PEOPLE'S CHOICE". This may change in the future, if I am able to
find a sponsor for the "People's Choice" awards. If this occurs, I will post
a note to that effect on the front page of the contest.
Once again, please note that "People's Choice" winners will not receive
prizes; prizes are awarded only to the "Contest Winner" of each category.
Why are no prizes awarded to People's Choice winners?
Experience has shown on several occasions that the People's Choice winner is
often decided by the popularity of the modeller, rather than the quality of
the model entered. Some modellers who are very popular and have many friends
will always receive many votes, even if their entry is not necessarily the
best model entered in the contest. To avoid this problem, the winners of
this contest are decided by a panel of impartial judges. However, the
"People" will count as one judge, their choice of winners being determined
by the results of the People's Choice voting in each category.
No voting entry will be accepted unless your full name is given. You must
provide your full first and last name in the body of your e-mail when
voting, along with your e-mail address. This e-mail address must match the
address your e-mail was sent from. Please don't be afraid to include your
e-mail address. I promise that I do not collect e-mail addresses, send spam
messages, or sell addresses to others.
It has been our experience that some people use several e-mail addresses,
i.e. those of family members, friends, work, etc., to vote for themselves.
FRIENDS ARE WELCOME, BUT PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF MORE THAN ONCE FROM
DIFFERENT E-MAIL ADDRESSES. I will check any suspicious e-mail addresses.
Only one vote will be accepted from each e-mail address. We all want fair
voting; if you should have any further suggestions related to keeping the
contest fair, please send them to me.
Once again, friends are welcome to vote, but please don't go around and
purposely collect people to vote for you. I think that this is unfair and if
I see or hear that somebody is doing this I will eject him or her from the
contest. You may tell people that your model is entered in the contest, but
please remind them to vote fairly!
I will send a "thank you" e-mail to everyone who has cast a valid vote. If
you don't receive this "thank you" within 24 hours, your vote probably
hasn't been accepted. Reasons for this may include: incomplete vote,
different e-mail address from sender's address, and more than one vote cast
from same address.
