Announcing the 2010 Silverfox of the Year!
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has participated in the first Silverfox of the Year Competition! To everyone who entered, voted and took an interest in the competition - Thank You!
We had a great response from the Community with a total of 147 entrants, and 900 individual GrownUps Members casting a total of 4,155 votes.
Now that we've tallied your votes - we would like to announce your Silverfox of the Year Finalists and Overall Silverfox of the Year!
The overall Silverfox of the Year was chosen by a panel of judges from the nine finalists - regardless of whether they placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their category.
Silverfox of the Year
The judges have spoken and despite an extremely tight competition, we are very pleased and proud to present your inaugural Silverfox of the Year...
John Field, 57 from Port Chalmers
John was surprised to be named the winner, as he was initially unaware that his wife had entered him into the competition.
A very grateful winner, we wonder whether we'll start to see John gracing our tele's as a male model!
Described as 'hunky' by voters, we think in what was tough competition, we have a very suitable winner.
Although there is no sash or crown, John and his wife will be experiencing a 3 day motorhome rental courtesy of Maui, a 4 day epic adventure with Molesworth Station & Nelson Lakes Heritage Tour and the potential for even a modeling career via Clyne & Nova models. Classic!
Congratulations to all of our entrants, voters, viewers and winners - what a great first Silverfox we've had.
Stay tuned next month for our next surprise on GrownUps...

Hi
I found this competition very hard to follow...
AND..
Many of my friends could NOT understand the voting system...just clicked on the photo and thought they had voted etc etc!!!!
Your wording needed to be updated each day....it was usually a day behind!
All in All a good idea but instructions UNCLEAR!!
congratulations to John Field u foxy guy u deserved to win well done judges on ur choice
If John won how come he is in second place in this photo line up?
Congatulations to all those who entered, was great to get to know you. Kind regards, Bronella
Well done John -thanks for the text message Jane!Enjoy your prizes.
Agree .. voting was confusing until you got the hang of it. And equally confused how silver fox winner was no. 2 in his category .. but perhaps it was an 'overall' thing? I'm sure you'll have it sorted next time. Lots of fun. And congratulations to the winner.
Maybe I'm too stuffy but I find this constant emphasis on appearance, especially when we are all old enough to know it is irrelevant, very sad
