Boxing Scene's People's Choice Awards
Hey guys, check this out... The first ever boxing scene monthly awards... I hope all of us will participate... For more info, check onto the Boxing Scene Lounge and go to the Boxing Scene Awards thread started by Janno... READ ON:
This thread features the BoxingScene's awards, the different categories, winners and any discussions about it. I hope this adds excitement and thrill to this wonderful boxing site.
I encourage everyone to join and have some fun!
Mechanics for the BoxingScene People Choice Awards:
Categories
There will be 6 initial categories in which every participant (registered voter) will vote for a winner:
1. Boxingscene Member of the Month – This category aims to recognize members who has contributed to the overall value of the discussion on the Boxingscene forums. The winner of this award has posts that are intelligent, meaningful, sensible, logical, respectable/respectful, carefully thought of and brilliant.
2. Idiot of the Month – This is the opposite of the Boxingscene Member of the Month category. You will vote for a poster whose posts have little or no value at all. The winner of this award has posts that are absurd, ridiculous, nonsense, inflammatory, hateful, degrading, and outright ******.
3. Best Overall Thread of the Month – This category recognizes the thread that best appeal to the members of the BoxingScene. You will vote for a thread that is most relevant, worthy of discussion, and adds to boxing fans’ and audiences’ interest and knowledge about the topic and boxing in general. The thread doesn’t have to be boxing-related.
4. Funniest Thread of the Month - This category is an offshoot from the Best Overall Thread of the month and was added here by popular demand. You will vote for a thread that makes you laugh out to your heart's content (i.e. lmfao ). This thread must be the funniest thread around.
5. Newbie of the Month - The same criteria as the Boxing Poster of the Month except that this poster is a new member (has less than 100 posts) on the BoxingScene forums.
6. Avatar of the Month – The best looking and most awesome avatar out there.
How to join
Any BoxingScene member with at least a single post in any BoxingScene threads is an automatic candidate for the BoxigScene Member of the Month and Idiot of the Month for the month the post(s) was/were made. Any new member with less than 100 posts with at least a single post in any Boxingscene forums is an automatic candidate for the Newbie of the Month for the month that the post(s) was/were made. Any new thread started in a particular month is an automatic candidate for Thread of the Month for that period.
How to vote
Only “registered” voters can vote for this contest. Any BS member who wishes to be registered must notify me through this thread or send me a PM. Every registered voter will receive a monthly “ballot” containing all the 6 categories at the end of every month.
Each voter will write down the poster’s username/thread of the candidate he is voting for for that particular month. Every voter must return the ballot with their votes to me (by PM) 3 days before the month ends for tallying. Any ballots received after that period will be disqualified. Any voter can only vote once in a month.
Choosing the winner
The candidate that garnered the highest votes for each category for the month will be declared the winner for that month. Any category that received no votes/nominations for that month will have no winner. No previous winning avatar, thread or newbie can be voted again.
Winners will be announced and posted on a separate monthly winners thread during the first week of the following month.
Prizes
1. Your name posted on the BoxingScene board for posterity!
2. Cash prizes (less tax) depending on awards funds availability. I will indicate how much cash prizes are at stake for a particular month (if ever there are any.)
3. The Idiot of the Month winner doesn't get any cash prize (for the obvious reason).
Donations
If anybody wants to donate to the awards fund, you can send cash to me, just click the donate button at the bottom of my avatar. Please notify me after you made your donation. I will update the awards funds balance and commitments from the generous members of this forum.
