The Process

1. All those who think they possess a cool avatar, nominate yourself by posting here. You need to put up a maximum of 100 word write up in your nomination post.
2. If you want, you can change your current avatar, finalize it and nominate only after that. Don't change the avatar after nomination.
3. The judges will then shortlist the finalists based on creativity and whackiness of the campaigning, and PG being a democratic place, we will open the contest for public voting. Do remember, it is only the finalists for whom the Puy Junta will be voting for, but for the nomination stage, you gotta convince the judges.
4. The winner of the poll is the winner of the Coolest Avatar 2009

A few rules...

1. You cannot change your avatar once declared here. If you wish to change, do it now.
2. No plagiarized avatars, try to be original. If two users have same avatar, ONLY the one with an earlier date of joining PG shall be considered.
3. Explain the theme behind your avatar.
4. Work on your Content Delivery/Canvassing Style for the avatar.
5. Having nominated once, the contestant might assume his/her political role and start campaigning . There are ethical ways and there (un)ethical ways to promote yourself like PM's, phone calls, SMS, scraps, messengers, You should refrain from the latter route else the CEC might cancel the avatar's nomination.
6. You are free to form pre-poll, post-poll parties and alliances after nominating yourself. So, apart from individual winner of the Coolest Avatar contest we can have a 'Coolest Avatar Party' as well which gets max number of votes in the end.
7. Shortlisting will be based on avatar, Content Delivery/Canvassing Style and X factor.

April 27th, Monday 2 PM - Campaigning for nominations stops and thread locked
April 27th , Monday, 5 PM - List of final 10 Nominees will be announced and voting will start.

Do remember the judges and CECs may decide to change the rules of the game at any point of the time. Have fun!
