Welcome to 420 Magazine's Member of the Month Contest!
420 Magazine would like to include not only our valued growers, but also more of our non-growing members in this contest. We are by no means excluding growers from the Member of the Month Contest, but we feel that our Plant and Nug Contests are already serving these members pretty well. Please help and support us in this effort.
Specifically, we're looking to thank those members that help and support our site in so many under recognized ways, such as:
Nominations are accepted from the 1st until the 14th at midnight PST every month. Approved nominations will be posted shortly after midnight PST and, at that time, the polls will open through midnight PST on the last day of the month to vote for a winner.
Please follow the above guidelines to propose a nomination and do not post or discuss nominations in the contest thread. Nominations and/or suggestions of nominations in the contest thread will be deleted without notice.
All winners receive "Member of the Month" title and the following Prize Package:
420 Magazine: 420 Magazine T-shirt, 420 Magazine Lighter, 420 Magazine Magnet, 420 Magazine Stickers
GeoPot: Winner's choice of 5 x 3 Gallon Pots, 3 x 5 Gallon Pots OR 1 x 15 Gallon Pot

Additional Details On Prize Shipping & Customs Duties
Monthly winners are automatically eligible for our prestigious "Member of the Year" contest, held in January.
Contest Guidelines:
1. Members must have at least 50 posts to be entitled to vote.
2. 420 Magazine staff members submit nominees and rationale in the contest thread.
3. Promotion (i.e. campaigning) for yourself or a friend, or any attempt at voting more than one time per person (i.e. multiple user names, etc.) is considered cheating and is prohibited. Promotion also includes family and friends who register a new account for voting purposes. Campaigning in any form - including but not limited to mentioning the nomination in any thread outside the contest and campaigning via PMs - will result in the member being removed from the month's contest. A second instance, either in a different contest during the same month or in any future contest, will attract a lifetime ban from all future contests.
4. Members cannot nominate themselves.
5. Members may only win this title once per year.
6. Staff members from this or any other cannabis forum/community will not be nominated.
7. In accepting the Member of the Month title, prize(s), and the respect of the members, the winner agrees to wear his/her title with honor and to continue to set the example with his/her actions and posting behavior. To retain the Member of the Month title, the winner must remain compliant with contest rules and site guidelines.
Contests Are Legitimate: Now that votes are publicly visible, it should be obvious who is voting. We have endless ways of discovering cheating and are always successful. If you are caught cheating, your entry will be deleted and you'll be called out in the public thread, visible to everyone. Reason being that in the past, when we removed the offending entry without any announcement (to help minimize embarrassment for the member), it often led to uninformed (or worse, misinformed) members questioning our motives and calling us censorship nazi's. More often than not, the cheater themselves would claim innocence, causing a higher workload for our staff. For these reasons, we now alert the community of what happened, to save all the confusion and massive workload on our team.

November Nominees
I'd like to nominate SmokingWings for Member of the Month because he's the kind of member this community is known for.
He's one of the first members to greet newcomers. He's also one of the first members to help growers out in the Frequently Asked Questions area.
He's always polite, respectful and offers good advice.
I hope he wins November's MOTM because he has been a member here for 5 years and I think it's about time he was recognized. Don't you?
@ReservoirDog
I'd like to nominate @ReservoirDog for Member of the Month.
RDog is such a pleasant person and always so active all around the forum.
He is continuously exuding positive energies and whenever a growing question is posed, he goes above and beyond the call of duty answering that question.
He is able to use his grower's knowledge and his experience in a way that makes others feel as if their questions are relevant and substantiated. He never shoes away ideas or problems and is very open minded.
He is a cheerleader and an instructor at the same time, all while knowing that the members in this community offer as much to him as he does to them.
@Phytoplankton
I would like to nominate @Phytoplankton for Member of the Month.
Phyto has been nominated 4 times this past year and has yet to win, so it's his time to shine!
Here's a recap of his nominations:
"He almost silently goes around doing work like we wish fairies would in our gardens, answering
any and all questions with fluidity and ease. Also falling into the categories of this nomination
of being friendly, welcoming and helpful and currently not showing us any grows of his own."
"Every time a new question or issue is posted, Phyto seems to be right there ready to help however
he can. He seems to be quite knowledgeable about growing cannabis."
"He knows his stuff, helps with clear and knowledgeable advice and is always supportive. Lord
knows how many less experienced growers will have benefited from his postings. For that alone,
he's a worthy contender and deserves recognition."
"This member is very active, personable, knowledgeable, and promotes sponsors. They are constantly
greeting new members and giving good information on top of personal experience to back information...
So with that said all boxes checked in my book for a nomination."
Let's give this guy the recognition he deserves!
@Buds Buddy
I’d like to nominate Buds Buddy, the King of SIP as November MoTM!
Buds is a 420 staple. He takes his growing seriously and is always looking for ways to improve. Buds showcases the sponsors in a respectful manner and he’s super engaging. And his photography is on fleek! I think Buds is just an all round nice guy. I really hope November is his month to shine.
Buds Buddy FTW!
