Bike Of The Month

[325rocket]

another bike forum i go to 600rr.net (http://www.600rr.net/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=43) runs a bike of the month each month.
Each month (if you want) you submit a photo of your bike. the five best photos for that month are put on a thread with a poll so people can vote for their favorite. At the end of the year the 12 winners are put against each other (in a poll) and voted for bike of the year.
at 600rr they use it to sort the photos for their calendar but even just for a laugh its a bit of fun.
With all the crap going on at the moment it might be a nice distraction.

what do you all think?

well so far your winning haha.

to run it properly we would need to set up an email address for the photos to be sent to.

heres a run down on how they do it on 600rr

"What is Bike of the Month (BOTM)?

Show off that bike you've worked so hard on.

Once a month up to six bikes will be considered by the members who will vote on their favorite by means of public poll.

The voting period will be from the 14th of the month until the 30th/31st of that same month. The bikes are being voted for one month in advance.
Example - On May 14 through May 31 the members will vote on who will be BOTM June. On June 14 through June 30th the members will vote on who will be BOTM July. and so on...

Members are encouraged to "sell" their bikes to other members in the corresponding BOTM thread; Talk about your mods, hard work and other customizations. Posting additional pictures of your bike however is prohibited. All "selling" must occur in the BOTM thread for that month. You may not create threads or post pictures of your bike in other sections while competing in BOTM. Members who violate these rules will be disqualified.

------------------------------------------------------------
Prizes

BOTM winners will receive a unique profile title identifying them as a Bike of the Month winner and which month & year.

Once 12 months have passed and there are 12 BOTM winners they will all be entered in Bike of the Year. Bike of the year winners will receive a unique profile title identifying them as a Bike of the Year winner and perhaps other prizes (to be determined).


Good luck and please enter early."

not sure if we can do the "unique profile title" but it would be kinda cool if we could.

if there is interest ill set up an email account to post submissions to ... so far its not looking to good though haha.
