2019 Forever Pontiac Calendar - Voting Rd 1

[Ringo64]

Welcome to our first round of voting for our 2019 Forever Pontiac Calendar. We have a record turn out of great Pontiacs and want to thank everyone who entered! We switched things up a bit this year. You'll notice that the models with a large turn out are going against each other, such as GTOs. Our aim is to give a little diversity to the calendar this year and give a fighting chance to all involved 

Please note that for the first round of voting if you have over 10 posts you have automatically gotten a pass to the second round as a thank you for being an active member. 

We will be taking the top 2 or 3 (ties, number of people, and other factors are considered) individuals from each group and they will move into the 2nd round! 

Voting will run till Monday, October 22, 2018 11:59 PM ET

The way voting works is there will be groups of members and out of that group you will need to select one (1) individual that you like the best as the winner for that group. The individual with the most votes at the end of the round moves on to the next round out of that group. Let's get started!

Quote

Please be advised: we are monitoring the use of voting and watching closely. Those who solicit individuals to make accounts or make fake accounts to move votes in favor of themselves will be removed from the contest. We want this to be an FP calendar for Pontiac lovers, voted by Pontiac lovers. Any questions, please let us know! Thank you for cooperation.

Good luck to everyone!

Lots of great cars and tough choices.

Vee1956Starchief  is pictured but not on the voting ballot.  Make sure he get's in somewhere, it's a nice ride, good background = calandar shot.

I remember seeing the contenders & number of votes in a bar graph last year,  mine come up this year, curious on how close I came.

Thanks,

I'm taken aback by so many photos submitted with missing/cut off front or rear bumpers? Big shade spots from overhead trees in the middle of the cars? Trees and power poles growing out of the roofs of cars? C'mon guys, does anyone look thru the viewfinder before snapping the photo? Not trying to be harsh here but dang Cleetus! Visualize the photo as you want it to appear in the calendar. Just sayin'. Jim, maybe before next years calendar we can have a tutorial posted on Taking Car Photos 101?

That’s part of voting, my friend. This isn’t who owns the car or what model the car is, it’s what looks good and that picture should be voted in  .

I 100% agree but there are cars that deserve to be in this calendar but will be out because of a lack of attention to detail. Or worse a car gets voted in and your left with a dilemma of putting a bad pic in the calendar or breaking someones heart.

I can't find a “News & Information” tab in the headings or sub tabs ... navigation problem for me - do you offer a site map?

[Stripes]

How many cars got "buys" into the second round?

[68venable]

That was a lot of cars to choose! It took a while but I got it done. What a relief now that its over!

All our forums are listed on our Forums Index (our homepage: https://foreverpontiac.com). You can get there by clicking "Forums" in the navigation or clicking the header at the top of each page. The "News & Information" forum is towards the bottom under the category "COMMUNITY INFORMATION AND MISC." As our calendar voting topic is in this forum, you can also use the breadcrumbs towards the top of the page to cycle back up the chain of parent/child relationship.

Started to chime in on the subject when reporting Vee...Starchief pic.  So many great cars cut off, trash cans/yard crap in the background.   Happy to see so many participating.  Justa tip to help you and your pride N joy make some rounds.
