I'll reply here so that other new members have this info as well....
In the first post of this thread, there is a scoreboard that shows your total points and faction standing relative to your fellow Garhims, which is updated approximately every month (usually done by gurusql, our awesome Faction Liaison).
As of the last update, you had 5 points for your CIC. Assuming your most recent post contains all of your other Garheim MOCs to-date, you'll have +2 for the fishing tournament entry, +2 for the celebration preparation entry, and +2 points for the troops (Aug FB#1), so that's +6 total. Added to your 5 points, you would appear to be at a total of 11, which is 4 points shy of the 15 needed for the rank of "Citizen".
If you complete your 2nd August free build and win one of the LC's, you'll be able to make citizen this month, otherwise you'll be able to get there next month.
(attending the coronation banquet will earn you an easy +1 point if you're interested in that, as well.)
