It's time for August 2010's Boat of the Month contest nominations! :)

For those who don't know, here's how this little feature works.

Each month we have five pics which battle it out in a poll to find out which boat is the boat of the month. The boat that gets the most votes as chosen by our members wins our boat of the month contest, and the winning boat graces our entrance page for a month.

Once the official poll is completed, the top boat is the boat of the month, and the boat that gets the least amount of votes gets eliminated. That leaves three holdover pics at the end of each month. Those three pics carry over to the next month's contest and get to try to win again.

Here is what to do, if you would like to participate.

If you'd like to enter your own boat, please post your best pic. If you'd like to nominate a fellow members boat, you can do so by posting it in this thread as well.

*Other Rules Worth Noting*

- Please do not post multiple pics of your boat! Just post your best single pic! Posting multiple pics of the same boat just lessens your chances of making it into the official poll as it will most likely just split your vote up! Also, if a member's boat is already nominated, please do not nominate another pic of it! Again, this just causes vote splitting!

- Due to the overwhelming response of nomination pics we're receiving- we are now limiting total nomination pics to a total of 10! Meaning, if and when we reach ten nominations within this thread, at that point we will immediately move to the nomination vote portion of the process!

-Please only nominate pictures that you know are non-copyright protected. If you're in doubt, please check with the picture owner.

Once we hit the middle of the month, or when we get ten entries, we'll hold an elimination poll to find the top nominated two pics which will then advance to our official Boat of the Month poll.

If you need picture posting instructions, please refer to the instruction thread located in the "picture this" forum and also located in the board feedback forum.

Good luck everyone!

Let's see those pics!

I did not take it, but it is a very cool picture of a classic Enchanter OB. (I do have permission from the photographer to post it)

I just sold her & can't bring myself to change the pic. If she wins it would be a nice farewell. Either way I need to update my model owned!

Do you have a larger size of this pic instead of a thumbnail? If you do, post it up, but be quick as we have to move to the poll very shortly.

Chris,

I can not post pics. Can you enlarge it or can I e-mail it to you? Thanks

Hi Justin,

You can post pics as can anyone.

Did you try reading the how to post pics help thread, which is located in the board feedback forum?

Is you read the instruction thread, you'll see that there is a set of instructions where you or any member can hot-link to your photos which you host elsewhere and there also a set of instructions where you can upload your pics, but in order to use the upload method you have to be a supporting member.

Read over the instructions and then give it another try next month.

Unfortunately at this point, we just can't wait any longer to start the poll or we'll run out of enough time to have a proper vote.

-Chris
 
The elimination poll is up- good luck everyone!

Please choose your favourite two pics and remember, no voting for your own boat! :)

-Chris
 
Sort of silly that a group shot wins over an individual boat that the contest was designed for, August 2010's Boat of the Month . :irked:
