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.

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.

July Nominees
@013
I'd like to nominate @013 for another shot at the title. Not only is he in the grow journals and greeting folks when they post introductions, but he is all over the FAQ and Problem threads helping out the newbies with great advice as they come here for assistance.
I'm sure if the newer folks knew about this contest he would have won by now, leaving him as an unsung hero at 420mag. Let's change that!
I would like to nominate 013. I think this man is such an asset to 420. He is knowledgeable, he is kind, he is so welcoming and he sticks with you. He is so passionate about growing and he is a wealth of grow knowledge.
The other reason I’d like to vote for him is he is southern, and I’m binge watching Nashville at the moment and I love it when he calls me ma’am.
013 FTW.
@Buds Buddy
I nominate Buds bunny. Good guy, great grower, very tidy and very helpful on the boards. Never stops helping out and an animal lover. After seeing his post about his dog, my mum always said "Watch how people treat animals to see their personality" Buds you deserve this round.
@Bluter
Here’s a name all will recognize, one especially deserving of titles under avatar. Faster than a tuned M3 on the Autobahn - every time he logs on Bluter brings it; gorgeous plants, solving deficiencies with ease and dropping the downlow to move forward. Experienced with every grow format, lighting rig and nutrient combination on the planet. Bluter has a great attitude and is encouraging to everyone so I’d like to nominate him for MoTM. Let’s badge this rascal and make it official.
@Tokin Roll
I would like to nominate @Tokin Roll for the July member of the month contest. They have displayed all the characteristics that make a MOTM in abundance. Always active in welcoming new members, pointing them towards important information, active on many journals across the site offering advice where needed and encouraging/praising successes. With a friendly demeanor and positive attitude. Very worthy of recognition.
@KCCO 77
I'd like to nominate @KCCO 77 for member of the month. If you've encountered him on the forum, you know this is someone who knows what he's doing, and will always go out of the way to help. From giving great advice on Plants, to great advice on life- he's always there with his ability to make your day and grow space a bit brighter.
Good luck everyone!
