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
Foods Alive: Organic Toasted Hemp Seeds
Sierra Natural Science: SNS-217 Spider Mite Control - 1 Quart Mix Pouch
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.
If anyone has any questions or problems with ANY of the entries in ANY of our contests, please speak up publicly in the respective 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.
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.

November Nominees
@Roy Growin
I would like to nominate Roy Growing as MoTM again. Growings has been a member here for a couple of years, and in that time he has proved he is about helping people. He is always in the help section trying his best to share tips and give support to growers in need.
Roy is another member who doesn’t seem to run with a rat pack. While he’s often up for a friendly chat here and there, for the most part he’s all about support. When he’s not in the help threads he can often be seen dropping into threads to cheer members on.
Roy hits a lot of my grow yeses.
Great photography - yes
Grows like a king - yes
Likes to help - yes
Has questionable spoon etiquette when it comes to mixing granules of coffee in his sugar canister - sadly also yes, I’ve seen it with my own eyes! Granules of coffee poo in his sugar bowl! Horrendous! Lol!
But seriously, Growings is a great guy, great grower, great helper and I’d really love to seeOctoberNovember as his time to shine.
So please consider this legend when you cast your vote.
@NickHardy
I would like to nominate Nick Hardy for Member of the Month.
Nick Hardy is often in the introductory section greeting and assisting new members. His straight forwards shows he wants to make new member feel at ease.
He recommends sponsor when the need arises, or when someone is looking for good advice on upgrading their system.
At times when a couple member has minor differences in option, he has been the voice of reasoning.
Nick Hardy is often creating content through advice, directional, and helping other when they are having a difficult grow.
Give Nick a look before you vote.
@Azimuth
Azimuth is a known proponent of the SIP particularly organic styles of growing. They started the main destination thread for SIPs last year but its more than that. Everywhere across the journals I visit, they’re there with generally science backed knowledge, wisdom and power, (OK I cribbed a Snoop Dogg song there!) but Aziworld helps out as many growers as near anyone on the site! Would be a very deserving recipient of MOTM.
@Regrowth
Regrowth is an outstanding member of the 420 Mag community. He creates excellent journals and can be found throughout the site encouraging others and offering advice when needed. He definitely deserves to be recognized for being such a constant positive presence here.
@Jon
Hi i think @Jon would make a great MOTM he is very friendly & patient and has great answers & if not he will steer you in the right direction greets the new members & detailed journals & is mentoring at least one out of country member that is to shy to start a journal at the moment, @Jon is a outstanding member of 420 Magazine & think he should be recognized as MOTM.
@Carmen Ray
Just for being there, answering messages, helping me understand everything from rules to the beauty of a tabletop grow, I nominate @Carmen Ray. She has been like a guidepost as this new forum member tries to figure stuff out.
