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.

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 calendar 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.

This year's winners who are now ineligible for nomination:

February Nominees
I would like to nominate Gee64 for MOTM. He is extremely knowledgeable about the science and practice of growing. He really knows his stuff and is always around to share and help out. He takes his time to explain step by step so that people who don't have a science background can understand what things mean. He engages in so so many journals and has created a great one which is shared by the community. He is a genuinely nice person who spreads kindness and green love.
I’m gonna nominate Gee64 again for MOTM. He is friendly, outgoing, and has incredible knowledge when it comes to many different areas related to and including growing. He shows up in different journals all the time with advice, praise, and encouragement. He is respectful and spreads positivity wherever he goes. There aren’t many people I would consider to be sages, but he is definitely one of them. He is an incredible asset to our community.
@Phytoplankton
I would like to nominate Phytoplankton for member of the Month – Feb.23
He welcomes all new comers, providing direction and support to new and old growers, and sponsors.
Phytoplankton 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 member; he can found checking grow journals to help if needed or just provide encouragement. He has proven himself to be a knowledgeable grower, which other growers often looking 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.
My goal for 2023 is to have each of these absolute 420 Magazine legends recognised for all they do for us as members in out time of need. Whether that be a fly in fly out new member who grabbed the advice and ran back to reality, or the pain in the arse member like me, who needs a lot of hand holding and even a diagram at times lolling!
These people need Member of the Month sashes dammit!
PhytoplanktonSmokingWingsFuzzyDuck
I just wish I could nominate all three. With the absence of @FuzzyDuck, I have shifted my eenie meenie miney moe focus to Phytoplankton. First let me start by sharing I was today years old when I learned phytoplankton was a thing! Lolllll
I want to both nominate you and thank you. Thank you for always helping, with a happy heart. Thank you for nearly always being first on the scene. Thank you for being such a fabulous guide 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. And I appreciate that coz I can be super annoying.
Please consider this legend for February. He has been a member here since 2017 (I stalked him lol) and I think we should come together and celebrate him.
You are so appreciated Phytoplankton and I really hope February is your month to shine.
PHYTOPLANKTON FTW!
@InTheShed
I would like to nominate @InTheShed, he has helped me out in so many ways and gave me so many advices never steer me wrong and everything's always been on point! Without his help and knowledge I wouldn't have had the means to make anything within the last 3 months! I am really glad that I found this website and he has become my friend. Thank you so much for your time.
Good Luck Everyone!
