In 2008, 914World will host a Car of the Month contest, run every other month!
The COTM will be featured on our homepage and also on a pinned thread that will feature all past Cars of the Month!
Rules
1. For the purpose of this contest, a "914" is defined as a car that started life and still retains the general shape and characteristics of a 914. (Lightened cars? Fine. Tube framed, firebreathing monsters? Sure, if they generally look like a 914. V8/Suby conversion cars? Cool. A 914-based trike? Okay! A sandrail with no 914 components but 914 drivetrain and suspension? No. Get the idea? )
2. Also, to be eligible for nomination, the car must be owned by a 914World Member and picture posted on a 914World thread or blog.
3. The Admin team will open a separate thread for nominations on/about the first of the month.
4. Any active (defined as at least 5 posts in the last month) 914World member may nominate any active member. The nomination must include the member's Board name and a picture of the car or a link to their 914World blog.
5. No self-nominations, please.
6. All COTM nominations must be "seconded" by another member.
7. Once five COTM nominations that are seconded, nominations will be closed.
8. We will open a thread for to vote for COTM. Voting will last 10 calendar days!
9. The car with the greatest number of votes wins COTM!
10. Once a car wins Car of the Month, that car is eligible to win again in the next calendar year.
11. A member fortunate enough to have two or more stunning cars may win multiple times a year - it's really the car that wins COTM, not the member.
Nomination Procedures
1. Someone nominates (hypothetically) Betty's 1974 1.8 as COTM.
2. Someone else seconds that nomination for Betty's car (at this point, the nomination is official).
3. Once five cars have been nominated and seconded to be COTM, the nominations are complete.
4. Next, voting!
The nominations will begin tomorrow! Please post any questions here. If there is sufficient interest and participation, we can certainly look at increasing the frequency!
Happy New Year!
