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

Cannabis Irrigation Supply: 12 Outlet Manifold Kit for Greenhouse and Hydroponics

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.

October Nominees
I would like to nominate InTheShed for member of the month. He is all over this site helping everyone and as for me, he has been so much help. My plant would be dead if not for him. He has taught me so much on my first grow.
I'd like to nominate InTheShed for member of the month. This lad is the most helpful person with the most and correct information possible! He's firm in his knowledge and sharing is his nature. Few people have the working knowledge this gentle man has that graces so many of our gardens! A 420Mag treasure!
@Gandalfthewhite
I’d like to recommend Gandalfthewhite for MOTM. They were close last month but that aside, they’re a super positive part of the community. They were one of the first people to welcome me to the community and it was so positive and embracing I felt immediately accepted. They were also one of the first to just drop into my journal, without any sort of prompting which tells me they’re actively looking for those they can help and engage with in the community. Gandalfthewhite is the epitome of an ideal member of this community.
@HashGirl
I'd like to nominate Hashgirl for October MOTM.
Hashgirl is fresh off of surgeries and still doing her amazing work.
Filling threads with good energies and sharing her grows with the community.
Her knowledge and experience truly helps the viewers on her threads.
She provides insight often.
Quick to meet and help out new members; conscious of all members' profile posts and comments, always showing concern and good faith.
Nothing new that we are seeing from her but she just continues to prove to the community what an integral piece she is in this green puzzle.
@Stinker
I would like to nominate Stinker for the quinella. I want to nominate him for both Member of the Month and Journal of the Month.
This bloke not only grows like a boss, he not only photographs his girls like pervert on a pretty, he not only show cases Barney’s Seeds like they are precious diamonds (except for the ones he culls but don’t get me started on that…lolling) but he is generous to boot. He is a fab 420 member who has every quality listed for MoTM.
If you haven’t visited his thread before you are really missing out on a great show. It’s called A Four Stain Barney’s Farm Grow, and in it Stinker takes your grow hand, and guides you from start to finish. He is an organized man, with an organized grow. He updates regularly and his photography is so good Barney’s Farm even use his pics as advertisements.
Stinker obviously loves his craft, takes pride in his grow work, and wants others to succeed in their grows too. And for these reasons I want October to be his month to shine.
