View Full Version : Opinions wanted on Truck of the Month contest

So, every month we have the rig of the month thing where everyone sends in photos of a rig blah, blah, blah. I am proposing a change to that. I would like to see a theme to the Truck of the Month thing. I think that each month should have a different theme, or different guidelines. It could be as simple as a seasonal shot, such as snow pics, or spring pics. It could be a "Muddiest truck" or a watercrossing pic, etc. It could be a color of vehicle, or maybe previously owned vehicle. Regardless, leaving it open for anything or any rig is something I find kind of dull.

So, this all being said I am posting this public poll. Do we keep it as is, with no parameters? Do we go with a themed version with the theme to change monthly?

Your thoughts?

Too complicated and we don't have enough volume IMO. It's hard enough getting people to vote let alone, think :D. I could be wrong.

since it's pretty much a photo contest anyway you might as well make it themed.

Considering it is so damn cold outside lately I wouldnt mind a February summertime-themed TOTM. I don't think we would have issues getting submissions for that one.

Ummm, if you will look I did try the themed photos once. and I went from having maybe 10 photos to maybe 2. It didn't work...not at all but, if you too want to try go for it.

It is only recently I actually got people to even start voting on the thing and thats only because matt made it the front page. Its not a high enough volume site for it.

Maybe will all the new folks and the near intrest in it, it might work. But, I doubt it. Good Luck with it.

Voted: Mall crawlin theme should be included.

Actually we may have to do that... Best "mall crawlin" photo. I could see that being a theme for an upcoming month.

I think with the number of themes that are possible we should be just fine...

To make it more interesting, I propose a "scavenger hunt" type theme every few months. Pics of your rig with certain objects or at certain locations etc....

They would have to be specific and interesting/funny, not just the usual "post your ride in the woods" themes.

instead of changing this why don't you begin a different monthly comp. like a SCAVENGER HUNT!.. like one month could be pics of your rig in full flex, one coulde be in deep mud, or on rocks, or in water or on a hill climb, or even specific locations around the area. like going up the steps of the court house down town... that would be fun..
