NWC
For the month of March, NAXJA will be having a contest between the chapters for the national Rig of the Month. This means the NWC needs to select a candidate to send off to national to compete.

After the first 7 submissions or 7 days, I'll open the poll for voting.

Good luck guys!

Congrats to Mojojojo!

He'll now go onto nationals and compete against the other participating chapters. The top 3(?) will then go onto the final competition for the title of Rig of the Month. Best of luck buddy!

Also, thanks to Matt, Michael, and Scott for taking the time to participate in this.
