Please start nominating members in this thread for SOTY ..Once nominated I will send a pm to ask if you accept the nomination and will agree to the rules of the award .. The end date for nominations will be on December 1rst . I then will start a pole ending on January 11th .. So if you know of a member that has splashed there project this year and you would like to nominate , please do so and add a link to their project ..
Good luck everyone !!!!
MOD DRAFTED RULES:
Conditions:
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 AND be willing to commit to being active after winning PLUS agree to return and help manage next years 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 all 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 (9th annual) " Starmada Splash of the Year 2020 winner ".. Or the 5th annual "Restoration Forum Splash Of The Year 2020 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 owners rebuild thread. Please dont 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 Dec 1, 2020.
After Dec 1, 2020, 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 boat that was splashed in either forum in 2020. Voting will end at midnight EST January 11, 2021.
