Welcome to 420 Magazine's Nug of the Month Contest!

Please submit a photo of your best nug. (There is a separate contest thread for plants)

The nug must be your own, either purchased or grown. Optionally, we'd love to hear about the strain, taste, aroma, potency, effect, weight or any other frosty details that you're willing to share.

The contest will be open for submissions from the 1st until the 14th at midnight PST. At one minute past midnight on the 15th, we will begin voting for a winner.

All winners receive "Nug of the Month" title and the following Prize Package:

420 Magazine: 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

Monthly winners are automatically eligible for our prestigious "Nug of the Year" contest in January.

Contest Guidelines:

1. The contest is open to members with 50 or more posts. Members must also have at least 50 posts to be entitled to vote.

2. Contest entries must be original photos of your own nug(s), rather recent and not previously entered in a Nug of the Month contest. The same photo cannot be entered into more than one contest in the same month. Winning entries cannot be entered into any future contests. The nug photo may include several nugs or a cola. This nug may be grown by yourself or purchased at a legal medical dispensary.

3. Entries must include ONLY photos of the nug. But you may add one photo as a reference point for size or a closeup/macro

4. Maximum of two photos per member. Both photos must be of the same strain or batch of nugs. Updating photos throughout the month is not allowed.

5. Remember to upload your photo through our Photo Gallery before posting it on this thread: Photo Gallery Guide - How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos

6. Nugs must be dry and ready to smoke or vaporize. Any nug that appears to be too moist to smoke or vaporize will be deemed an invalid entry. No "wet" nugs please

7. Self-nominations only. Past winners are ineligible for 3 months from date of win.

8. Competition is open to the first 25 entries.

9. 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 entry in any thread outside the contest, a signature link to the entry and campaigning via PMs - will result in the entry 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. General encouragement to vote in all the contests is fine, as long as it's not excessive or crossing the line into campaigning. Any post which explicitly or implicitly encourages members to vote for a specific entry is not.

10. Editing Photos: You may resize and/or crop your photos, however adding text, images and effects are prohibited. This makes it a fair contest for all, as not everyone can afford photo editing programs and/or know how to use the them. Photos must be cropped properly, leaving no large empty spaces at top/bottom or left/right of the image.

11. Staff members from this or any other cannabis forum/community and/or 420 Magazine sponsors are not permitted to enter our contests. It's okay for staff to post photos in the contest for fun, however to retain the credibility of the contest, their photos will not be added to the voting polls.

By posting a submission into this contest, it is assumed that you have read and agree to abide by each of the aforementioned rules. Consider your submission your "virtual signature".

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.

I have no nugs worth entering but if you do enter it you could win. If I did, I would enter it.

I really have nothing worth entering and if I did enter something and won I would not feel right my nugs are untrimmed from what I grew last year so I will not enter one. But if you have a nug you feel comfortable in entering you should enter it. I do not know that the rules say it has to be trimmed but I will not enter one that is not.

Your bud doesn't have to be trimmed bro alot of people smoke it without trimming.. last month there was a bud that wasn't fully trimmed and I thought it was a beautiful nug 👌🏼

I'm not allowed to enter but as it's quiet heres a old entry, this was my first successful grow



Again for show not and entry ✌🏽💚
 
How’s about I trim a nice fat cola and cut it off my plant so I can enter like some members allegedly have. Maybe 🤔 put it in the fridge for a spell first. lol CL🍀. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::cheesygrinsmiley:

Colas are allowed in the contest it's in the rules. Also what you do with your bud before entering is up to you as long as it meets the rules 👍🏽
 


Heres my Runtz main post drying ready to cure.

Frosty girl, so left untrimmed.

Effects from early testers were amazing, a clear and powerful effect with a highly sweet taste.

The smell from these nugs is heavenly, noticeably sweet and yet refined.

Beautiful bro! 🔥 Who's the breeder of your runtz? I have some in flower now by Dr Ray & can't wait! Still have 10 days brother if you want to update when cured 👌🏽💚
 
It's dry and I've already been smoking some. :rolleyes:
Fuel D.OG by Seedsman. Flowered for 67 days. It's very resinous and sticky, the buds are very dense even if some of them have a fluffy look.:hmmmm: After breaking a bud up, it looks like more than was on the bud.:cheesygrinsmiley: I believe it will be a good rosin maker.

I hate the fact you are second guessing what is contest worthy and what isn’t. My advice, not that you asked, if it’s a nug, get it in here bruv! Flowers come in many shapes and forms. We are here to celebrate the differences and diversity of those buds! Beauty comes in many forms. I hope you share yours.

These contests are a way of celebrating each other, and all the work that goes into cultivating a 420 Magazine Nug of the Month entrant. And bruv, to win it you gotta be in it ;)

This sounds serious but its meant in good natured way. I’m 100% not saying any changes this month!

Preface:

There is a rule that the bud or cola grown yourself or purchased.

Suggestion:

We have a poll in another part of site on whether or not we’d like to request a change.

My View:

Respect to the member who posted an entry from a dispensary about 10 miles away from me in SE Asia whilst on holiday! But if its that good a bud maybe it belongs in photo of the month? Just an idea?

Freshness - this doesn’t bother me. “Smokeable” is so subjective. How do you judge how another consumes? It could be roisin 20 minutes later - I mean nit much! But…

Ultimately:

I think that there need to be rules but taking some more subjective ones out makes it easier for the members to judge the contestants and then bring it! More voters the better. Some will like big stuff, some little and sparkly and all sorts in between.

I’m in a very chilled place but last month and this - it seems a bit edgy about the rules in this particular contest lately. so lets try and build consensus. If we self moderate I’m sure @420 would be amenable to listen to tweaking any rules - should we agree. If not lets be strict”ish” I just worry this is going to get into having to produce moisture tests with the pictures and that way madness lies!
