It?s time we get nominations underway for this year?s Starcraft Splash Of The Year Award (SOTY) for Starcraft vessels declared as officially ?Splashed? back into the water after significant refits, renovations, modifications, etc. All iboats Website members are invited to nominate their favorite Starcraft boat reported by their owners as having been splashed in 2016. I don't think it will be an issue this year but a maximum of 10 nominations will be accepted.
Last year there was some confusion and problems associated with there being no set guideline or rules. As a result, the Mod team has worked on drafting a set of guidelines and requirements to minimize the confusion and eliminate similar problems this year.
Moderator Drafted Rules
1: Restoration, rebuild, redo, rehab or re-worked project must have been well documented @ iboats forums. With good reference text and pix posts.
2; Nominated member must have been active prior to the nominations starting (end of Nov) AND be willing to commit to being active after winning PLUS agree to return and help manage next year?s SOTY process including paying for the next year's winner plates and plaque shipping.
3: It will NOT be an iboats sponsored award.
4: Members MUST have 5posts to vote in the SOTY poll. The Mod/admin team can and will look into voting irregularities, and has had to in the past.
5: This is not a popularity contest. It is stipulated that if you had a good buddy help on a resto, encourage him to join (the Iboats community) and vote. But not every random person (who you likely don't even know) who reads your posts on Facebook should be joining solely to vote. It will further be stipulated that ballot box stuffing, as deemed by the Mod team and iboats admins, will be dealt with. This includes removal of a nominated boat from consideration plus possible banning of the nominated member for unsportsmanlike conduct not in the spirit of the award.
6: This a nomination, voting and award by members: fellow peers here at iboats, that have followed a resto, probably assisted at some point along the way and want to recognize your hard work and dedication to completing your resto. Again, not a popularity contest open to voting for everyone that works where you do, the dominoes, square dancing or hockey group you're a member of or open to your Facebook, Twitter or other social media "friends ".
7: No 'self' nominated boats, boats must be nominated by another member.
8: Again, as noted above, this is NOT an iboats sponsored award or poll, and there should be no expectations otherwise.
9: SOTY winners may be contacted by iboats admin or corporate staff to possibly be featured in a newsletter at some future date. This is not a endorsement (paid or otherwise) of the boat or owner by iboats.* It should be a badge of pride to have been nominated, and is a great honor to be voted the (6th annual) " Starmada Splash of the Year 2016 winner ".. Or the first ever "Restoration Forum Splash Of The Year winner".
10. The nomination, win and plaque are the ONLY recognition or award. There is no award or prize of any kind from iboats.
Please post your nominations in this thread and paste a link to the owner?s rebuild thread. Please don?t include pictures in this nominations thread. I will contact each of the nominees by Private Message to confirm that they wish to be entered in the award contest. I will add their info by updating this top-of-the-page post. Nominations up to a maximum of 10 will be accepted until midnight EST Jan 5, 2017.
After January 5 2017, a new voting thread will be created that will show all nominees and a link to their rebuild thread for your review. As in past years, I expect that 1 or 2 pictures of each entry will be included in the voting thread, usually a before and after shot. You will be permitted one vote for your favorite Starcraft boat that was splashed in 2016. Voting will end at midnight EST January 15, 2017.
Cheers! and Good Luck to the nominees!
