It’s that time of the Month again! Wait.. what? Oh.. right..
The theme for the November Banner Contest is No One Left Behind
Here is a quote from Banner Contest runner Major Blood:
“This months theme will be getting the injured to safety. This can be by dragging, helping them with multiple people, carrying on their shoulders, even on a stretcher if wanted. Basically, it has to be showing the injured getting saved one way or another.”
The Monthly Banner Contest has been one of the most successful and favorite features here on the Fighting 1:18th. The contest 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 October Banner Contest featured another close vote. We had several entries in our first ever “blind voting” and frequent Banner contestant Footloose came away with the winning Banner by receiving 34% of the overall vote. A new member to the forum and a first time competitor Selective Compression came in second place with 30% of the total vote. Footloose had graciously donated a prize last month however since he won the Contest, he was awarded a alternative prize of a $15 gift certificate to Marauder GR Inc. At the request and praise from the majority of the forum, we have decided to continue the “blind voting” for this month.
As we mentioned earlier, occasionally we add additional prizes to the Contest. For the November Contest, forum member and last month’s winner Footloose has donated a special prize for the Contest. The additional prize is a G.I.Joe Extreme Sand Striker. Thanks Footloose!
