[Addendum Added Below]

Alright, alright, alright. It's that time of the month again. Or it will be. Or maybe it was already. Let's be fair, it's that time only if you're in the right timezone already.

Anywho, most of the world is already on January 1st, so let's have another Profile picture contest. Yes, you read that right, it's time for a profile picture contest.

For those of you who are confused, look to your left. Go ahead, just move your eyeballs;  no need to hurt your neck. See where it says "Motorcycle Riders: There's a Road Less Traveled - Ride It"? Right under there is the Profile picture for the community. Let's put another image there, shall we?

The rules are the same:

1] You MUST own the rights to the picture or have the permission of the rights holder to use it. Image must also be of something motorcycle related. 

2] If you used the image to enter last time, you can't use it to enter this time. That doesn't mean you can't use an image you shared before, only that you can't use an image you entered in one of the Profile contests in the past.

3] Tag your contest entries with #mrprofile0115  If you can't tell by the tag, this contest ends on January 15, 2015. On that day we'll tally the votes and change the image accordingly.

4] No nudity, hate speech, blah, blah, blah. Seriously, if it's offensive, it's gone. It's that simple. That means no religious images or political speech. This is a motorcycle community, not a soapbox.

5] Pro shots/marketing materials are allowed by those of you representing a company, product or service, but it shouldn't be the focus of the image.

6] Ties will be decided by the moderation staff and if we can't decide, well, I'll use a picture of my feet. Yes, I have pictures of my feet.

7] Something else I'm sure I'm forgetting.

This doesn't officially start until January 1st, but since everywhere but the western hemisphere is already into January we'll start it now.

And Go!

Don't forget to vote, too.

[Addendum]

Don't forget to make sure your photo submission is a good fit for the profile image. In other words, it should be scalable, and preferably viewed in profile (tall rectangle, not wide rectangle). Last time we had a nice image but once cropped to fit, all the good stuff was gone. Just be aware of this when you're submitting. For example, see the below image of the two bikes in the living room? Not a good profile picture entry.
