Rules for Ride of the Month/Year -Must be a current, dues paying member of the club to be eligible for ROM (both for voting, and nomination) For the normal Ride Of the Month contest, you must own an LH Model Chrylser Product. -Users must have pictures on Fotki (either placed there by the individual or by ROM Admin) Upon request, winners MUST submit High Resolution pictures for the next year calendar 30-60 days after they win. However, it is preferred that the original pictures for the nomination process be High Resolution images (300dpi minimum, 3.0 megapixel) -Members (currently paid, and active) can submit as many nominations per month as they wish up to 2 to the ROM coordinator via email at vicepresident@300mclub.org. You are free to nominate any active member at any time. Just make sure you have their approval before doing so. The first four nominees that accept their nomination will be in the next months contest, the rest of the nominees will roll over into the next contest. Once the 4 nominees for a particular month are determined, they will be contacted to compose their nomination speech. This will occur about a week prior to the contest. This is the nominees chance to sell themselves to the voting public. Feel free to include any descriptions, web sites, listing awards, etc. Anything the nominee feels the voting public should know. Please limit this to information about the car itself. You are free to post this speech in and any other pictures you want in the voting thread once it is posted. -If there is a specific picture that the nominee wants to be used for the nomination thread, please let the ROM Admin know (Keith Jarvis aka Silverspecial). If it needs to be uploaded to Fotki, the ROM Admin will upload the picture. If any updates to the nominee’s Fotki page needs to be done, this can also be done at this time. Please notify the ROM Admin. -The contest will open by a thread created by the ROM Admin. This will include the 4 nominees (picture, member’s name & number, username, location, and car information) The contest will run for 10 days from the creation of the thread, and will end exactly 10 days after the contest started. The voting poll will be open for the same amount of time. Once this thread is open, the nominees can will post their acceptance composition in that thread. The only posts in that thread will be from the ROM Admin, and the nominees. All other posts will be deleted. -At the conclusion of the 10 day voting period, the nominee with the most votes will become winner for that month. At that time, the winner will be pulled from the eligible contestants for a minimum of 12 months. The other nominees will be placed back in the pool of eligible contestants and can be selected again after a 2 month waiting period. -In cases of a tie, a 3 member panel will be convened to determine the winner. This panel will consist of the ROM Admin, Club President, and one other Board Member. Within 72 hours of the end of the contest, the tie breaker will be determined, and the winner be announced. -For winning the contest, the winner will have their car’s photo on the corresponding month of the following year’s 300M Enthusiasts Club Wall Calendar. Also, the winner will be highlighted on the club’s web page and all the other winners of the year will be highlighted on the winner’s page on our website. Each winning member receives a free year of membership. -The 300M of the Year winner will be determined from the 12 monthly winners. In January of the following year, a contest thread will be setup comprised of the monthly winners from the previous year. This contest will be allowed to run for 15 days. The contest will end exactly 15 days after it started. The ROY (Ride of the Year) nominees will be notified a minimum of 1 week prior to the beginning of the contest. This will allow time to compose an appropriate nomination speech for this honor. This should include any updates to the car since the nominee won their respective contest. The same picture that was used in their respective winning contest will be used, but you can provide a better picture if you choose to. -In cases of a tie for ROY, a run off contest will be setup. This will be a 5 day contest between the nominees that are involved in the tie. No additional information will be required from the nominees. The contest will conclude on the 5th day at the exact time it was started. The member with the most votes in the runoff will be declared ROY. In the event of a tie, we will revert to the 3 member panel rule mentioned for the ROM tie breaker scenario. -The winner of the ROY will get a trophy/plaque from the club, and possibly other prizes. Also, the winner will be highlighted on our club’s webpage, and on the page of winners for that year. The winning car will also be on the cover of the following years calendar. -If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via PM or you can email your questions to me. Good luck!!!
