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 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.

December Nominees
I really put a lot of thought into this months nomination. I actually went back through the threads I have started, wanting advice, and there are 3 names that appear over and over again, sharing advice, with kindness, with knowledge, with interest.
Phytoplankton
SmokingWings
FuzzyDuck
I just wish I could nominate all three. But with 2023 looming close I have ample time lollling.
I want to thank all three posters. For being such fabulous guides to growing. I have learned so much from each of you. None of you know me on a personal level, yet you are always first on the scene when I need advice and reassurance.
This month through my eenie meanie miny moe process of elimination, my nomination is Fuzzy Duck.
Thank you Fuzzy Duck. You are so appreciated, and I really hope December is your month to shine.
Fuzzy Duck FTW!
