I was kind of waiting on the official message but here are a couple of my suggestions. Not unlike the one already suggested.

In the TOTM forumn create a forum for Tank nominations, then members that want to submit a nomination can submit in there own thread, I found it very difficult to scan through just a single thread to find all the photo's/information on one person tank.

Next, start with a boilerplate message similar to what is already there but add some additional areas.

On each of these "Highly Suggest" that additional photo's of equipment/setup be included. (For example I would have included pictures of my fishroom but I didn't because the one thread was just too messy).
1) List Equipment
2) Corals
3) Fish
4) Invert's
5) Successes
6) Lesson Learned

Then for the winner they should be more pronounced then what they are, have a photo at the top of the main page with the photo of the winning tank with a link to the nomination thread which hopefully includes a complete writeup on the tank.

Third idea would be to take all of the years winners and have a Tank of the Year winner, but still only allow voting for about a month.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks
Cary
