AF's 2002 MODEL OF THE YEAR CONTEST

[primera man]

Been thinking about this for awhile now.....Had a quick talk with Jay and Chris about this idea today.

PLEASE Take your time to read the rules carefully !!



"AF's 2002 Model Of The Year"

The rules will be as follow....

*Only open to AF members who have joined AF before the 1st December 2002
*Must be a model built this year (2002) by a AF member before the 31st December 2002.
*Entry will open on the 1st December and close on 31 December 2002...No models will be accepted before this date
*One photo only will be posted...so make it a good one.
*Links to the thread on AF can be used as well as photo
*Only one model per person
*Open to cars and bikes only.
*My decision will be FINAL

How to enter.

*One photo to be sent by Private Message to .....Me, "Primera Man"
*Photo's only...no text

How to vote.

*Once all the car's 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 ONE MODEL ONLY
*Only AF members can vote that are members before the 31st December 2002. 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 them only.
*My idea of this is so that it will ONLY have the pics of the models.
*It stop's people from voting twice from other computer's etc
*Stop's any AF Mod from deleting or changing the votes......You guys will have to trust me on this !!!
*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...the choice will go to Primera Man and Jay
*The updates of voting will be posted every 1-2 days
*Voting will finish on the 31st January 2003 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 (A new Tamiya/Revell/Fujimi) and will send it to the winner.
Chris (flyonthewall) has also very kindly decided to give one of his universal wing sets away with the kit.
Also if the model I give away is one that Chris has a kit for, then he will throw that in as well.
So a big thanks goes to Chris for his help.
Also thanks to huudo who will put the winner as front page for a full month as top story on his site Automotomover in a special feature article.

So stay tuned for the kit i get !!

Remember....this is just abit of FUN.....Dont flame me or others if things dont go your way. I'm doing this for something different AND SOMETHING THAT I HOPE YOU WILL ALL ENJOY.
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 Jay 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"
I'm doing this off my own back along with Jay and Chris to try and make this a really great place to be for all of us.
Hopefully this will be a success and it will be the start of a yearly contest.

Cheers
PMan

I think it's a great idea, now i really wish i had a digital cam.

[Jonno]

EDIT: can I reserve a spot? cause I am getting a digi cam for christmas...


EDIT2: there was more to this message, but for some reason, half of it was deleted, so....:o

[supratuner]

i have a digital camera but it sucks cause it cost $43 at walmart

[flyonthewall]

Those without cams must surely be able to beg, steal or borrow one for the small amount of time it takes to shoot a few pics of your model.

This is going to be an interesting contest!

No need to organise a contest then. P-Man just send the kit and stuff to me, cause I'm the best!! LOL

No seriously, this is going to very interesting cause the level of quality is certainly here! Count me in with an 'unseen before' model - Mercedes of course.

Good luck to every single one of us who's going to take part.

I can't wait to see what wins, this will be very, very interesting!:sun:

errrrr wouldnt that = 29 entries will be allowed?

[Suislide]

this is an awesome idea, and i can't wait to see all of the models that are entered. i plan to enter one myself, but seeing some of the work that has been produced by some of the people on this board, i don't expect to get very far with it. i guess this'll motivate me to get my ass in gear and finish at least one model!

1 question: once the voting is done, will each person who entered be able to see how many votes their model received?

[primera man]

Dave ESPI.....Thanks for pointing that out, but you are right. I guess there's always something forgotten...lol

S13_Iketani....The votes will be there for everyone to see.


Just another thing guys.....some of you are sending me models already via Private Messages. Remember that no entry will be allowed before the 1st December 2002. So if you have sent me your post already...it will be deleted...Sorry

[Honoturtle]

Whoa! Pman actually organized something!:finger:
This is a first! j/k
I might enter my Supra......... maybe Corolla........... or Mustang........ we'll see.

I wanna see what awesome things are going to be created!

One question, what if I send you a pic of say my Supra, then I finish my Mustang and want to enter that instead, would you "cancel" my supra and put in my mustang? Stating that I send you the pic before the deadline.

[Slippery]

This is a great idea!! Do you think its worth entering my vette?

[primera man]

Honoturtle...The first model you send will be the one that gets entered ...just keeping it fair and keeping the same rules for every one.

Slippery...As long as your one of the first 29 models i receive

Remember that people will send me the pic...i'll be the only one who knows what the models are untill the thread is posted for voting....so you will have just as good a chance as any one else.

So...why only 30 models can enter? Or did you said it? Did I just miss it?

Just a figure i thought would be enough. With 30 photos in one thread it may take for ever to open up the pics for those with slow computers.

I really have no idea as to how many will enter....i guess if i'm flooded with entrys i could talk it over with Jay...but at this stage it will stay at 30 models.
