always cracks me up when people decide where their vote is going before they even see all the entrants. you never know who's car is going to show up here next...
me: "would you like 2 dollars, 100 dolla-"
you: "i'll take 100 dollars!"
me: "or a million dollars?"
you: "doh!"

of course no one can vote yet. i just think it's funny how people get all fired up about who they are going to vote for before they even see all the cars...
+ 1?

Compilations are not allowed.
Sorry HighwayUFO, but you still have some badass pics to post up none the less.

I saw HighwayUFO's entry and I've been thinking about it...First of all, HighwayUFO's compilation style pics look fantastic and I love the idea and creativity...That said, it is taking advantage of a current loop hole in the MOTM rules by squeezing in additional images within an image when each entry is only allowed three total images.
Ultimately, it's unfair to everyone else and the whole idea of three single images is simplicity & purity...The two most important factors for entry images are the MAZDA & image quality / clarity.
Just got an idea though...Perhaps we should add a fourth image OR video option as a "wild card" where you could do anything as long as it did not offend anyone or break any LAWS (no nudity or streetracing etc)...Such as a compilation style image or a video of the photoshoot with a model?
What do you guys think? We could try this for September..?
As for the issue at hand...HighwayUFO, please choose a single image from each of your images and update your entry ASAP...Much appreciated, thank you!
After I send out this post, I will update the rules!

Well, here we go, there is one pic that would be front page friendly. I'm just going to pile all three collage pics in here, cause each one showcases a different aspect of the car like the rules request; 1 interior, 1 exterior, 1 engine bay.

Antoine,
Not sure about video option... I think if you have a video option, then you need to have time limit, type of video, music, etc.. That could also become more bias.. Also, video will replace pictures.. ie slide show.
4th image say rolling shot, other key feature of the car, etc would be nice.
Also, I think as a car guy the 323 should win this month. Mad props for all the hard work went into that car. I would like to pull myself out of this month as I think I have no chance to the 323. Awesome car!

UPDATED!
* Updates in red
Contest Requirements:
* Each contestant must submit three single high-quality high-resolution images of their Mazda. One image must be of the exterior, another the engine bay and finally an interior shot. Compilation style shots (multiple images within a single image or picture size frame) are NOT ALLOWED!!!
* Each contestant must follow the format shown below or your entry will not count!!!
* Any form of photo/image manipulation is not allowed except for adjusting and enhancing image color, contrast, tone and levels etc.
Thanks for the feedback on the idea so far...Herblenny, you can't be serious, the whole point is bringing everyone together in a friendly competition plus it's against the rules to "cheese out" once you've entered!
6. Once you have entered (posted) your Mazda, you may not withdraw from the contest.

Just putting my input here as well. Antoine, the video idea sounds awesome, but maybe for another thread. Unsure about the possibilities of it opening up a larger can of worms, a factory even. Having 3 photos already stirred up some disagreements within this month's thread amongst participants and spectators. But I'm just a new guy who's giving it a shot and thought it was gonna be fun, though don't get me wrong it still is, but wasn't what I had expected from the most recent posts of fellow car lovers trying to play a different game than the rest. The rules are loud and clear.

I still like the three pic rule...if you want to do a rolling or action shot, let that be the exterior...
