It’s that time of the Month again! Wait.. what? Oh.. right..

The theme for the June Banner Contest is Kick in the Door

Here is a quote from Banner Contest runner Major Blood:

June will be to have a theme where the door of a place is getting breached.  It can be someone kicking it in,  shooting the locks,  ramming it open or even driving through the front.  Either way,  there needs to be some type of action going on where a building is getting stormed or attacked through an entrance.  Windows are fair game too.  If using a door,  it does not have to be opened.  As long as the action is apparent it’s fine.

The Monthly Banner Contest has been one of the most successful and favorite features here on the Fighting 1:18th.  The contest has been going on for over a year now and started on our original site before the infamous crash of 2011.  For those that are new to the contest,  it’s very simple.  A forum member can submit a dio picture entry into the contest.  Towards the end of the month we place all the photos together and let the forum members vote for their favorite via poll.   The winner gets the prestige and honor of having their picture on top of the site representing the Fighting 1:18th.  Occasionally we add additional prizes.

The May Banner Contest was won by Officer member Rick. He took the Silhouette theme by 24% of the vote.  Rick won a very close poll  that had a 3 way tie for 2nd place!  Major Blood,  Ctrl Z and Darthdre758 all had 19% of the vote.  They came up short however you can view their 2nd place entries at the bottom of this page.
