The people have spoken. It’s time for another Hottest 2+2er Competition. Anyone who is interested in participating should post one picture in this thread. It is not one that has to be used in the competition. After all the contestants are identified, I will start a preliminary voting thread (mid-next week).

You may nominate any current poster as long as the picture posted is one that has already posted on 2+2. Each contestant must agree in this thread (or via PM to me) to participate before he/she will be considered entered. If there is someone you feel should be in the competition, PM me and I will contact him or her.

THE RULES

First, a preliminary competition will be held. All interested competitors will be entered in a poll. The top 3 vote getters will advance to the finals.

For the preliminary competition, each participate will submit 2 pictures to me via PM (Finals will work the same way). One picture should be an unobstructed shot of the head/face (the facebook shot). The other should be a full body shot (clothed/bikini/whatever/must be SFW). The contestants will then be free to post as many other photos as they wish in the voting thread.

Voting will start 24 hours after the thread is created to allow contestants to post additional pictures and lobby for votes (should they choose). NOTE: There is no requirement to do anything other than send me 2 pictures to participate.

Forum members will then vote for the hottest. Criteria that members should consider (i.e. hotness factor) include looks, posting 'personality' and whatever else the member feels gives a contestant hotness.

The voting will be open for at least 4-5 days to give everyone time to review all pictorial evidence and make an informed decision.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE

I will limit participation to posters with something like 300 or more posts or those who have been registered for at least 6 months. These are just guidelines and not hard and fast rules. Let's just say that if you regged last month and have 50 posts, you can wait until next year. PM me if you fall outside these guidelines and still wish to participate. The contest is meant to be open to posters who have made a contribution to the forums.

CATEGORIES

For now there will be two divisions:

Women – Open division (open to all 18 and up)
Men - Open division (open to all 18 and up)

An over 30 (or 35) division will be added if enough contestants step forward. You may only participate in one category.

DECORUM

Oh yeah, the point of this is to admire the hotness of our fellow posters. Any comments not made in this spirit will be removed and the offending poster risks a time-out. If you plan to insult any of contestants I recommend you not post. This thread will be modded more heavily than normal. Some of you may not like that, but I really don’t care. I want every potential contestant to feel that he/she will be treated with dignity and respect.

The goal is to make this fun for both the participants and the voting public. Anyone who ‘rains on the parade’ will not be invited to the post event photo shoot/Jell-O wrestling competition.

Okay, let the nominations begin!
