We're gonna wing it on this, so you guys may have to bear with me a bit as we nail down all the rules.
Voting will take place during the last week of each month, and then the winner will be featured on the main page for the month that they have won. The winner will get "ROTM Winner" or something similar under their username, and I might even throw in a sticker or something.
Submissions will start the 15th of each month for the following month's ROTM. After I compile the submissions, the voting will begin.
The submission portion of this is gonna be the trickiest, and the rules here will definitely be a work in progress.
The submission format will be as follows:
2 pics of the rig (and ONLY 2, I may ask for more if you win, but for the submission, only 2 pics will be allowed. Please try to post the best pics possible too, shitty pics = no votes)
Year
Model
Drivetrain
Suspension
Tires
Other Notable Mods
Favorite Mod
Least Favorite Mod
Favorite Trail
Best Carnage

We don't need a novel on each one, just cover the basics, think of it like the readers' rides in the rags.
As an example, my submission would look like:

Nice and simple. We may end up going a little more in depth with the winners each month, but we'll play that by ear.
Entries will be limited to the first 10 entries each month. I will start a thread on the 15th of each month, and you can post your entry in the format above in that thread. Any post in the thread that is not an entry will be deleted. You are only allowed to enter your rig once in a rolling 12 month period. If you win, you are not allowed to enter again unless your rig has undergone signficant changes (Matt or myself will make the call), and you still must abide by the 12 month rule. If we hit the 10 rig mark and we feel that there aren't any rigs we want to call the MallCrawlin ROTM, we also may open it up to additional entries.
Voting. All registered members of MallCrawlin will be allowed to cast one vote per contest. Vote whoring will be frowned upon, but if you're in the contest and want to put something in your sig saying "hey vote for me in the ROTM" go for it.
So there ya have it. In the morning I'll post up the first submission thread, and we can use this thread for any questions anyone might have! :best:
Oh, also, if this ends up being pretty popular, we'll have a Rig of the Year contest at the end of the year from the monthly winners and they'll get something cool too.
