Coin Design Competition!This year we will have a new AtomFest coin. Our plan is to keep the rear of the coin each year and create a new front side, complete with the unique serial number concept.
Anyone wishing to participate in the coin design competition may do so by submitting their design to me by PM. I will create a separate thread for the coin competition. I will post designs without revealing the contestants until after the voting is completed. Do not post your design on the Forum, as the voting needs to be anonymous. This competition is not restricted to Atom Club members or Atom owners. In other words, anyone can play! The winner will be awarded five coins for their ingenuity and initiative. see:
http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/topic,8347.0.htmlAs in 2007,
http://www.atomfest.net will be updated to allow you to make your reservations, purchase official merchandise, make overnight lodging arrangements, etc.
Sponsors and Volunteers sought â??We will try to keep the costs as low as possible so that everybody can afford to participate and attend this event. If you would like to provide sponsorship of any of the planned activities, either in full or in part, please contact me. Sponsors will be recognized in publications, announcements and during each of the sponsored events.
If you are willing and able to volunteer, you will be rewarded with free or discounted merchandise, recognition and of course the undying appreciation of the Atom community during the event.
We need:
- Photography
- Videography
- Autocross design, setup, timing & scoring
