Another way of judging is by peers. Everyone has their preference and it gives general users a voice. Though, there are problems with peer voting such as knowing and understanding how much work entrants put into their forum/site design.

Along with the judging criteria: Design, originality and content, another criterion should be integration. How well did the web-designer integrate their forum with the overall site.

I second your suggestions.

To nominate, we should use the same process as vb.com is using, and I am sure nominations would definaetly be a big part in the whole monthly contest as people will be able to second others.

Thank you, haha

It was supposed to be site/forum.

As for the nomination process, the web-designer has to approve his/her site/forum's submission if another person nominated it. This is one of the reasons why I prefer self-nominations. Also, I'm not sure about random draws (to a 5 selection contest). To me the more nominations the better.

Yeah, we could make something like 10 nominations

Yup, but there's what, like 20 votes?

Over here we could get a more accurate voting, and more chances of winning I guess...

I think it'll liven up vB.org and .com and give users something to look forward to. I see it something as a positive. O and yes, I agree that the contest should be held here at vB.org.

Let's just see what the staff says about this, I also agree

hmm, a bit more contests would be good for vb.org yes.

But i am not sure of how to do it. If the staff decides who would be the winner, some could say we are biased and such, so i'd say it should be the users who decide the winning board.

The boardowner could get a image in his Profile or such, to show he is the owner of a board of a month, maybe with link and everything....

that are just idea from myself, not sure what the rest of the staff thinks about
