[primera man]

Its that time of the year again !!!
The 3rd annual AFMOTY CONTEST

PLEASE READ THE RULES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION IF YOU HAVE ONE.



"AF's 2004 MODEL OF THE YEAR"

The rules ARE

*Only open to AF members who have joined AF BEFORE the 1st December 2004
*Must be a model built this year (2004) by a AF member before the 31st December 2004.
*Entry will open on the 1st December and close on 31st December 2004...NO models will be accepted before this date
*One photo only will be posted...so make it a good one.
*The photo MUST be uploaded from AF….no other site allowed to host your photo.
*Only ONE model per person.
*The contest will be open to the FIRST 50 MODELS I RECEIVE This is due to the large amount of people that are members on AF. So you will need to be quick if you want to enter. (This may change if we get flooded with entries)
*Open to cars and bikes only....any scale.
*The Modeling Mods decision will be FINAL.
*This is run as a Peoples Choice contest.....no category for different models

HOW TO ENTER.

*Two photos to be sent by Private Message to .....Me, "Primera Man"
*ONE photo for the contest…the SECOND photo to show that the model is yours. Take a photo of the model with you’re A.F name on a piece of paper with the model to prove it’s yours
*Photo's only...no text

HOW TO VOTE.

*Once all the cars have been intered I will make a thread at the start of the year.
*Each model will have a number to vote beside it, and the person who built the kit.
*To vote, simply send a PM to me with your vote....NO OTHER VOTES WILL BE ALLOWED
*You can vote for THREE (3) MODELS
1st=3pts
2nd=2pts
3rd=1pt

*Only AF members can vote that are members BEFORE the 31st December 2004. This will also stop people logging on with different names to vote again. If a vote is suspect, I can check it out and it will be deleted along with the entry of the model.
*You CAN NOT vote for your own model
*The thread will be locked so you can view it only.
*My idea of doing this is that it willl ONLY have the pics of the models.
*Stop's any AF Mod from deleting or changing the votes. This way if the poll is changed in any way I will know as I will have all the votes.
*The judges vote will be FINAL.
*In the event of a tie...i will go through the votes to see who had the most 3pt votes to get a winner.
*The updates of voting will be posted every 1-2 days
*Voting will finish on the 31st January 2005 and the winner can then show off as much as they like !!!

I will enter the contest, but in the event of myself coming first, the runner up will receive the prize

I will give a prize out to the winner.

I'll buy a kit of some kind for the winner (A new Tamiya/Revell/Fujimi)

If any body else wishes to add a prize…..let us know so it can be added to the winners list !!

So stay tuned for the kit i get !!

Remember....this is just abit of FUN.....Don’t flame me or others if things don’t go your way. I'm doing this for SOMETHING THAT I HOPE YOU WILL ALL ENJOY AGAIN.
As I said before...you guys will have to trust me on this one with the voting. The only person that will see the voting will be Myself or the other modeling mods if I decide I need a hand with a decision. All I ask is for you all to be honest and help out our own little "AF Model Club"
You can help out by adding the contest into all of your sigs to remind people

Goodluck to all of you that enter.

Cheers
PMan

I'll make this thread a sticky later on in the week after its been viewed in the forum several times

[GvEman]

Awesome! This year I will try to make a entery in this. I guess that I don’t have a chance against al the master modellers here on AF. But it is just a bit of fun I guess

[RallyRaider]

Cool Warren. Can I suggest two things:

1. We add links to completed/progress threads so that voters can do some research on each entry and make a solid decision.

2. We don't do a forum wide announcement. It could limit the number of voters, which is a good thing if you're the one tallying. But hopefully they will be modeling forum regulars and more likely to know what constitutes an expertly built model.

[RallyRaider]

Just thought of another idea. As a prize could we arrange for the winner to be given a custom title - "AFMOTY Winner 2004" or something?

[ozstrider]

Awesome, hopefully i can get something done now school is finished. Maybe get my Turbo Altezza done. As for the one pic, are we allowed to make a chopped pic with lots of angles? Or just one straight up shot, unedited? Sorry if thats already been answered in the main post, i kinda skimmed over it.

Excellent idea! I also think that the previous winners should be given this title for their respective years! If they choose to have it, of course.

[JTRACING]

Great idea.

[Hiroboy]

Nice to see AFMOY back again, i'll donate some prizes for the winners, I'll sort out what soon.

[mike@af]

Um...I had a comment, but forgot. Oh yea, I agree with Phil.

[pettercardoso]

I've read the rules a couple of times, and yes, I saw the People's choice part. But I have one question that I think it seems valid: If I enter a motorcycle, how can it be fair, competing with mostly cars?
I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about this

Oh, and apart from that, I agree with everything else. I think this year will be even better than last year's AFMOTY

Best Regards,
Pedro.

Uh i have a qustion i didnt get answered or i did and didnt understand the answer if the model is already in progress can we still enter it.If so the toyota powered BMW is goin it!

[white97ex]

i've got the same question as ozstrider. i dont feel that one single picture is able to capture the detail and work put into a model.

[Spitfire7]

Hope i can enter my LM contest entry in thisthis contest too when i've finished it.

[ImolaEK]

Awesome, i am defenitely entering this just for fun! I can almost guess who the winners will be, judging from the awesome models they have built this year.
