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
Geoflora Nutrients: Geoflora Veg & Geoflora Bloom (Members can only win this prize once per year)
Foods Alive: Organic Toasted Hemp Seeds
Sierra Natural Science: SNS-217 Spider Mite Control - 1 Quart Mix Pouch
Mile High Cleaner: Deluxe Cleaning Kit
Shipping fees may apply to some packages shipped outside of the U.S.
You are responsible for any additional fees applied by customs.
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 entry in any thread outside the contest, a signature link to the entry and campaigning via PMs - will result in the entry 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. General encouragement to vote in all the contests is fine, as long as it's not excessive or crossing the line into campaigning. Any post which explicitly or implicitly encourages members to vote for a specific entry is not.
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 can 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
@SmokingWings
My mission is to get this legend a sash!
Please let July be his month to shine!
First I want to say I think Member of the Month should be about nominating members who fully fit the brief. It shouldn’t be a popularity test, or based on how much you personally like or love a member. It should be based on meeting the criteria. People like me shouldn’t be nominated. Well I don’t think I should. It should be for the people who proactively support members in grow trouble and welcome new members.
This month I’d like to again vote for a member called SmokingWings. I’ve stalked him, and he has been a member since 2017. He doesn’t seem to get caught up in the chit chat threads. And he doesn’t seem to run with a pack. It seems to me he is a lone wolf and his main reason for logging in each day is to help his fellow growers. And I think he should be acknowledged.
Look at this guys post history! He spends the bulk of his time in here helping us, not for thanks, not to be right, just coz he wants to help. He needs to be celebrated, well I think he should lolling!
I don’t know SmokingWings on a personal level. Our only interaction has been assistance, from him not me lolling! He has dropped into every thread I’ve ever created wanting help. He is the name you see over and over again in the Frequently Asked Questions section. I think his dedication and loyalty to 420 Magazine should be rewarded, and we can do that by getting him a winning sash forJuneJuly!
And SmokingWings thank you for all you do. Xo
Please consider SmokingWings FTW!
