Did I leave one out? *Smile*

This forum is designed to award those above mentioned forums.

*Exclaim* THE RULES *Exclaim*

#1 Nominate your item in the request box provided and write a 1 sentence blurb plugging it. It can be ANY of the above mentioned forums or even one I might have left out (by accident *Blush*) You can nominate your own, or someone else's.

At the end of the month, THE JUDGES and I will review those forums nominated.

*Note1* Prizes will be given out on a month basis for:*Note1*

1st Place Grand Prize -25K Ribbon for Excellence in Community Events.

2nd Place - 10K Ribbon

3rd Place - Merit Badges for those categories their forum falls into. For example, a CNote collection would get a CNote badge or a 10K Awardicon.

*Note1* Generally, there would be no Honorable Mentions unless the judges voted on it for that month.

*Exclaim* NEW RULE TO EFFECT APRIL'S 2009 JUDGING: If your item has a 50K awardicon or higher, it will be disqualified from receiving an award. This forum only gives out 50K or lower awardicons. If a forum has a 75K Awardicon for example, the award it might win from this contest is small compared to the one it has. If the winner has a high awardicon, it will recieve a MB and 15,000 totaling 25K.

*Exclaim* NEW RULE FOR JAN 2010: There must be at three entries for a month. If not, the contest will be extended for a Month. If there are no new entries after a second month, that round will be CLOSED and the two entries wil spilit 5K Gp's or the judges will pick one item to receive an award, the 2nd place will get 5K. (dependent on the quality of the entries)

*Note1* ROUND #57 is now OPEN. Winners will be announced on or before 10 JUL 2012.
