It's a little late (thanks Zeal) but here is the nomination thread for August's Keyboard of the Month.
July's winner was Ghostjuggernaut's 365CL DGE
(http://i.imgur.com/CQGr0vS.jpg)
Nominations will close on the evening of the 31st of August, ready for a poll on the 1st.
You can find the rules here:
More
1. A nomination thread will go up for the last two weeks of every month. You can nominate anybody you like, (even yourself) and any person can have any number of nominations every month.
a. These boards should be ones you are drawn to, ones that stand out for one reason or another. Keysets, modifications, whatever you fancy. I don’t want to have to post guidelines or restrictions on the boards, but I may change this depending on the types of submissions we get over the first few months. Please also say a little bit about each board you nominate, as to the reasons why you think it deserves to be up for KOTM.
b. The board must have been posted to the forums since the start of the calendar month. It can have been posted before then, but you must provide a link to the images that were posted after the first day of the calendar month.
c. Keyboards may be resubmitted in subsequent months, but they must have had a picture or progress posted within the calendar month that they are nominated for.
d. NO THEMES RIGHT NOW. These may or may not follow in the coming months. This also may or may not tie in with the calendar that may or may not happen at the end of next year.
2. However, after the initial two week period of nominations, a user will only have ONE board get through to the final public voting process. The final three nominees will be selected by myself from the most nominated and praised board in the nomination thread. E.G. If one board is posted and has the most +1s, quotes or references by other users in said thread, that will be chosen as one of the final three. Essentially, there is a crowd unofficial voting before the public voting. The final three are not up to me, they are up to you.
3. PLEASE post some good quality photos of the board you are nominating. I’m not looking for Macro lenses and DSLRs, but maybe more than one, top down, blurry shot would be nice. I realise if it isn’t your board there isn’t much you can do about it, but just pick a couple that aren’t terrible from an album or post.
4. On the 1st of every month, a poll thread will go up. This will consist of three finalists. Again, a user will only have one of their boards get through to this stage during any particular month. You can of course be nominated on another month. There will be one vote per person, and the results will remain anonymous until the voting closes.
5. After a period of one week, the voting will be closed and a winner will be announced. The winner will be posted both on that month's voting thread, and the following month's nominations thread. I’m not sure if there will be a prize every month, but if there is then I will sort it out and backdate it if I come up with one in a few months time.
6. The winner of each monthly process will go through to the ANNUAL KEYBOARD OF THE YEAR process, and the winner of the will DEFINITELY win a prize which I will work out in a 5 months time.
Happy hunting everyone!

I should really spend more time in the making stuff together forum... That Blackwing is really cool.
How about the keyboard I modified and have been using for almost 6 months with no trouble at all?

Edit: I did another photo shoot. (and I am composing this message with the keyboard now fwiw...)
I hate it when something as unseen as a hair shows up between keys. Dang!

Needs more square label, hah.
In all seriousness though, that's a really nice terminal conversion!

Just because I've been living the 1800 layout recently:

I'm gonna +1 this 1800 instead of the LK-1800fe, just because the TX has been a long time coming and we already had an LK come in 2nd place in June.
Funny to note, though, both seem to have the same set of keycaps.

Some stiff competition this month. Good luck to all nominees!
Another of PunksDead's boards. If this was ANSI it'd be perfect for me.

This board is possible because these guys took it upon themselves to try and save the GH60 group buy, to me that means a lot.
I didn't read the rules.
+1 for the same reasons. Not part of the GH60 buy, but it's awesome to see this actually happening after so much drama.
I'm going to nominate another one of Lastpilot's boards, his Crystal GON with GMKL Triumph Adler
