Hasta Pura Nomination

[caiusbeerquitius]

Does this mean I now have to prepare images and documentation of my equipment?

No:

4. Nominees may only participate with one (1) object.

The main thing is that you will have to make a presentation about your object(s) for a jury which will decide how well you know your stuff?

Well, basically all this here is virtual, I mean we cannot start sending around the items to check them personally. In that way a good presentation here is what gets you the hasta pura, for it is something everyone in this forum profits of. It has to be good, though, and the object has to be good. And if the nominee has made the object himself, it is quite propable, that he has some pics of the making, or detailed information about the production process. Which would make a presentation better than one without this info, of course...

If we nominate someone else, can they decline because they feel they don't know enough about their gear?

Yes, sure.

And if we nominate someone else, do we have to say in advance what they are nominated for?

No.

For instance, what are you nominating Peroni for - what does have to defend in front of the jury?

That´s his own choice, he knows all the objects he has best.
