Custom Profile of the Month (POTM)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Eligibility

• Your profile must have been customized by you or another creator and not copied from someone else's design.
• Must not have already received a Profile of the Month award for the same design on a previous occasion.

RULES

• Profile must not contain any obscene/pornographic images: This includes user pic, avatar, signature, photo album cover and background image/wallpaper... basically any image that is visible to visitors of your profile.

• Limit of 1 Nominations per User: Due to the number of anticipated entries, any given member can only nominate 1 profile for Profile of the Month award each round.

• Limit of 1 Nomination-Post Per Candidate: Profile of the Month is selected from your nominations by Aarinfantasy's Staff. There is no Voting Process.

• Creators could still enter their own profiles. The prize will be 10 million points + card submission.
• Non-creators could nominate their customized profiles made by someone else. If their profile wins, original creator gets the big prize (10 million points + card submission). The owner of the profile will get points only (5 million points). In case one member/creator gets many entries due to this reason, staff should resolve for one first place only, to avoid a single creator hoarding many 1st places in a single round.

• Link to contest/voting thread in your signature - is allowed.

• No Spamming - via PM, VM or Threads to beg for Votes.

• Your Profile must be accessible to all Registered Members. Profile Privacy options are managed in the User CP. It's good to not make your profile accessible to Everyone (as this includes guests?) but it must be visible to Registered Members (as opposed to Contacts or Friends).

• Staff vote for the winner(s). Staff cannot pick their own submission and profile that they created for someone... which means, as long as it has their name on it, they can't vote for it.

• If there is a tie, then both win and get the prizes based on creator/non-creator prize.

• Each round will now last 4 months instead of monthly.

• Submit your entry by posting in this thread. Just post:
  "Entering my profile for POTM."
• If your profile is created or done by someone else, please mention his/her username at the post:
  "Entering my profile for POTM." Created by (username)
  
• If the Creators submits one of his/her creations please post: "Submitting my profile for the POTM, created for - add username".
