T3G Community,
Our first ever RotM contest was more popular than I was expecting and I am really looking forward to seeing the beautiful submissions you have for our second one. Because of how well this did last month, I'd like to up the ante on the gift card prize, from $50, to $100!

The second change for this month is the addition of an improved way of viewing the submissions. I added a feature that will show all of the submissions at the very top of the thread with their number of "likes" on them. If you click the image, it will take you directly to that post so you can vote for it. This will hopefully make voting more fair for those who submit their photo a little later in the month.

Without further ado, let's get right into it!

How does it work?
  • From the 1st to the 20th of this month, you can post one of your best photos of your truck to this thread, which will become your submission.
  • As soon as the first submission is posted, you may start voting for your favorite photo(s).
  • Voting is done by hitting the "like" button on the post that has the photo that you want to vote for. You may vote for as many photos as you want, and you may also remove your votes if you change your mind.
  • On the 20th of the month at 2359 PST, submissions will no longer be accepted and will go into a review phase.
  • During the review phase, I will go through each submission, noting how many votes they received, and I will verify that the user with the most amount of votes is eligible to win according to the rules in this thread.
  • In the event the user who submitted the photo with the most votes is not eligible, I will move onto the runner up, and so on.
  • In the event that there are multiple submissions with the same amount of votes at the end of the voting period, I will create a new thread with only those submissions in it, and voting will begin again for one week. If a tie-breaker is needed a second time, a random winner will be chosen via a random number generator.
What does the winner receive?
  • One $100.00 (USD) gift card to Amazon.com
  • One T3G patch
  • One T3G sticker
  • A photo of your truck in the sidebar of the forum for the duration of the following month (same location you see the forum statistics block)
  • A badge under your username in your posts stating that you are a RotM winner (same location you see "Badministrator" in my posts)
Submission Rules
  1. YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 10 POSTS ON YOUR ACCOUNT TO SUBMIT A PHOTO! (If you're unable to reply to this thread, it's because you don't have the ten posts yet.) However, if you are a "T3G Supporter" (purchased a patch or sticker previously), you may bypass the minimum post count restriction.
  2. The forum administrators (myself and @Mr. Nobody) and our official vendors are not eligible to enter this contest. However, our forum moderators are eligible. Forum moderators are volunteers and are no different than regular members aside from the fact that they have the ability to close and move threads.
  3. If you have won this contest previously, you are not eligible to enter again until the sixth month after the last time you won. (e.g. If you won in January, you may not enter again until July.)
  4. Please submit photos that are of high quality and not edited in Photoshop to add a fake background, text, or other graphics to the image. However, you may edit your photo to adjust lighting, color, shadows, etc.
  5. You may only submit one photo per month and you will not be able to change the photo you submitted it after it is posted. You may post a different photo in a different month.
  6. Your truck does not need to be modified to enter.
  7. Adding a link to your build thread, if you have one, is highly encouraged, but not required.

Once you have read everything above, you may submit your photo and begin voting. Good luck and have fun!
