Pictures or not, doesn't matter, but of course you should try to nominate hoses that other players will enjoy seeing/reading about, so they'll get votes.
All nominated horses' pages MUST be in English (or a combination of another language WITH English) so that those of us who speak/read English can enjoy the horse too.
[li] During the first week of each month, the nominations are open.
[/li][li] Each WWS member is welcome to post TWO nominations per month.
[/li][li] Members may nominate ONE of their own horses and ONE horse owned by another member.[/li][/ul]
Please do NOT nominate any of the previous WWS-HOTM 2010 winners.
[li] Around the 15th of each month, nominations are closed.
[/li][li] A poll is posted with all nominees listed, and voting begins.
[/li][li] Each member has THREE votes.
[/li][li] Voting is closed the last week of the month.
[/li][li] The winning horse is announced & added to the Previous Winners List.
[/li][li] A small color banner is awarded, as well as $100,000 and 100 all-sim points to the winning horse.[/li][/ul]
What is "HOTM"?
HOTM stands for "Horse of the Month. WWS HOTM is a title & banner & prize money awarded to ONE horse each month.
This is a very common service provided by sim horse games and most all-sim boards.
What does the winning horse get?
A small color banner is awarded to display on the winning horse's page, as well as $100,000 and 100 all-sim points.
Who can nominate horses?
Any WWS member may nominate two horses each month. See the rules about nominating horses, outlined at the top of this page.
Who can vote?
Any WWS member may vote, whether they nominated horses or not.
Can a horse be nominated over & over again?
Yes, if they haven't won yet. Once a horse wins, they cannot be nominated again or win again in the same year. This way, we have twelve different horses with the title each year. We do keep a running list of all the year's winners, so please double-check before nominating a horse.
But what if I bought a horse that had previously won? Can I still nominate him/her now that I own the horse?
No. He/she still won, that's it, no more nominating for the year.
Can I nominate a horse that is active in a sim horse game, but NOT in all-sim?
Yes, but remember that some sim horse games do not allow 'outside' earnings or titles to count on in-game horse records, so it might be all for nothing.
Can I nominate a horse that does not compete on WWS?
Sure, but it would be nice if all nominated/winning horses were those who actually compete here on WWS, for obvious reasons.
Can I nominate a horse whose page is NOT in English?
No, please only nominate horses with pages that our English-speaking players can enjoy. We understand there are alot of players in all areas of the world that play SIM too, but we need to be able to understand what we are seeing for the HOTM voting.
