Rich; In retrospect, I suppose the term "electioneering" would be a more appropriate term than "shilling".... so I'll modify my earlier statement to read "electioneering".

Interestingly; since my post I've received a couple of emails about individuals who have been contacting other club members encouraging them to nominate a specific chip issue. Again, nothing in the rules against doing that, but I think that in the spirit of the contest, individuals should be expressing their own favorite opinion(s), rather than advancing someone elses.

Putting up scans of one's favorite choices on the bb is fine. It allows others to see some beautiful designs they may have never seen before and exposes them to chips and tokens from other less-popular gaming juristictions.
