Competition Win a Williams FW14B Exoto 1:18 scale model

[Administrator]

CANCELLED

We have another great prize up for grabs in our latest competition.
Once again it is a superbly detailed Exoto 1:18 scale model, this time of a Williams FW14B.

As with the previous two models, it was very generously donated by ZakspeedYakspeed.

1992 Williams-Renault FW14B (GPC97114) - pre-season testing version

The competition will, as before, take the form of a "best article" as decided by public vote.

The competition is free to enter and open to all members, including staff.

The rules are as follows:

• Create an article in any forum.
• Post in this thread with a link to the article stating that you would like to enter it into the competition.
• Only one entry is permitted per member.
• You can change your entry at any time up until the closing date and time.
• Entries will be accepted from 1600 UTC on Tuesday 26 March 2013 until midnight UTC on Sunday 28 April 2013.
• Only new articles posted and submitted between these dates and times are eligible for entry.
• All articles must be your own unique content and not copied or duplicated from other sites, including personal blogs.
• Voting will commence on Monday 29 April 2013 until midnight UTC on Sunday 12 May 2013.
• Members can vote for their own entries.
• There is no minimum or maximum word limit.
• The judges’ decision is final.
• The prize is as stated but due to shipping costs (it has already cost £80 to ship it from the US to the UK), winners outside the UK may be offered an alternative prize.

All entries will be entered into a public poll and the winner will be the one which accrues the most votes from the members.
In the event of a tie, a further vote will be carried out between the tied entries, and so on until there is an eventual winner.
If after several rounds of voting there isn’t a clear winner, a random draw will be made by a staff member.


The competition is now open.

Feel free to post any questions, queries, comments, etc. on this thread.


Good luck everyone!

I don't think I'll be entering this one but good luck to everyone entering and the prizes are awesome!

 

[F1Yorkshire]

I'm crap at writing but that is a hell of a prize. Will see what I can do!

 

[FB]

I won't be trying for this one either. Might post some crap soon though.

 

[The Pits]

I have some thoughts.

Best keep them to myself though.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Thinking cap on then.

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Would like to enter for this. But I'm useless at writing long articles that are interesting. .

 

[Mephistopheles]

I have an idea for a thread, it's a goodun I hope.....

 

[RasputinLives]

Well the FW14B is one of my faves so I'm def going away to have a think.

Boooo to the people saying they are not entering. Less good stuff for me to read (I'm looking at you sushifiesta)

 

[sushifiesta]

Ha, well I'm still recovering from the effort of my last entry! I don't think I have the time to do that again at the moment and I haven't got any bright ideas either. I may update my development race article from the last competition for 2013 at the end of the season though.

[Mephistopheles]

Not too many takers on this so far I'm surprised it's a great prize I'm putting in the effort in and I'm a lazy sod.....

 

[Brogan]

To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement...

Not sure I'll bother with many more competitions in the future and use the money to improve the site instead.

 

[tooncheese]

Well this one was more of a surprise, we knew about the other one several weeks in advance.

 

[Mephistopheles]

With the amount of money and generosity that has been given and spent so far by a couple of individuals I wouldn't blame Brogan if he just cancelled it, at least for the moment and took a poll on what people actually want from this site.....

 

[Brogan]

That's true tooncheese, but it's still open for entries for four weeks.

There does however seem to be an overwhelming lack of interest though.

I have been toying with the idea of asking someone to fulfil a sort of media/PR role, asking teams, etc, for freebies and desirable objects for future competitions.
But I don't see much call for it really.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Brogan if you ever did decide to go down that route I would like to put myself forward as a candidate...

 

[Josh]

I didn't enter the last one but I will most likely enter this one (if I can come up with a subject). So that's 7 (possible) entries!
