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 eligible for nominations and/or voting.

2. 420 Magazine staff members submit nominees and rationale in the contest thread.

3. Members cannot nominate themselves.

4. Members may only win this title once per calendar year.

5. Staff members from this or any other cannabis platform, cannot participate in our contests.

6. Member of the Month title should be worn with pride, winners agree to lead by example long after the contest is over. To retain Member of the Month title, the winner must remain compliant with all guidelines.

7. Campaigning for yourself or a friend, is considered cheating and will result in the entry being removed from the contest.

Campaigning includes:

• Voting more than one time per person from multiple accounts.
• Signature linking to the specific entry.
• Emailing members offsite asking for their vote.
• Sending members private messages asking for their vote.
• Family and friends registering new accounts for voting purposes.
• Mentioning the specific entry in any thread outside of the contest.

Second offenses will result in 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.

Contests Are Legitimate: Voting may be anonymous, but we have endless ways of catching cheaters and are always successful. If you are caught cheating, your entry will be deleted and you'll be exposed in the public thread.

In the past, we removed offending entries without announcement, to minimize embarrassment for the member. The cheaters would then claim innocence, which turned everyone against us. This led to members questioning our motives and causing extra work for our team. To avoid confusion moving forward, we now alert the community of these things when they happen.

If anyone has any questions or problems with any of the entries in a contest, please speak up in the contest thread before the end of the contest, or forever hold your peace. Once a winner is announced, that will be the end of discussion. There will be no take backs, unless we made a clerical error.

This year's winners who are now ineligible for nomination:
January: @Absorber
February: @Carmen Ray
March: @Bill284
April: @KeithLemon
May: @Tokin Roll
June: @Carcass
July: @Grand Daddy Black
August: @Roy Growin
September: @Trala
October: @Azimuth
November: @MedScientist

December Member Nominees​

@StoneOtter​

Can't believe it is December already!!! And as I sat this morning with my cup of coffee and looked over the amazing list of people who have earned the title of MOTM it suddenly occurred to me that there is one member who is blaringly missing and that member is StoneOtter. He is such a great member of this community. His grow journals are thorough, and open to discussion on his grow styles and methods and done so in a fun engaging way. I think he is very deserving to be in this list of members this year!

Hello GrowStars

For my final nomination for 2024 I’d like to put forward this absolute 420 Mag grow legend! Tbh I’m shook he hasn’t already won a sash this year!

StoneOtter for December
StoneOtter encompasses everything you would want in a 420 member. He is kind, he is engaging, and he is fun. But that stuff aside, he grows with such respect, he really nurtures his girls whether they be outdoor or indoor. He really tries to support sponsors and is always showcasing the 420 Magazine brand. His grows are always educational and he is super welcoming to new faces. While he definitely runs with a RatPack, he is so inclusive, making every new face feel welcome.

So please consider Stone Otter. It would be such a shame to have a whole year pass without celebrating him in this special way. And to Mr Oh, thanks for all you do. And I love your guts. Xo

@SmokingWings​

I would like to nominate SmokingWings for Member of the Month, December 2024. SmokingWings has been part of this forum since 2017. He can be seen in many areas and journals helping members and giving solid advice.
He is an experienced grower and well respected here. We appreciate the time and effort he puts in to engage with members new or seasoned, and answer questions where needed. Keep on keepin' on SmokingWings.

@Waywardwayne​

I would like to nominate Waywardwayne for member of the Month – December 2024

He can often be found welcoming all new comers, providing direction and support to new and old growers, and informing them of our sponsors.

Waywardwayne can often be found greeting new members, with a positive attitude and encouraging new member to interact and exchange ideas.

When he’s not greeting and helping new members, you can find him checking grow journals to help if needed or just provide encouragement. He has proven himself to be a knowledgeable grower, with other growers often look for his advices.

In his travels around the site, he can often be found providing support for our sponsors. When the need arises, he will direct grower to checkout our sponsors for all of their growing needs.

@con​

I nominate @con this month. Not because he has done anything in particular, but a stalwart, unassuming member who quietly contributes without over-selling his knowledge. I enjoy following his GJ's and never encountered anything but positivity
Thank you @con, you deserve the badge for your content and support.

@Gee64​

I'd like to submit Gee64 for Member of the Month. He's one of the busiest, and most free with knowledge, members I've met! He get's around to visit and has a wide working knowledge to share with all who ask. Especially in organic growing! I think he's a real gem to have here and is a good member every day, and he deserves to be seen as that!

Good Luck Everyone! ​
