I've got a gold medal winning one that I will post when I get in front of my home computer and my beersmith software. Mine uses Vienna, Rye, Munich and Caramunich IIRC.

Here is my recipe that has taken a couple of gold medals. I haven't brewed it in a couple of years. The protein in the rye malt gives it a nice silky mouthfeel. I grew up a nice big pitch of #833 and pitched around 45F and let it rise to 50F and held for a couple of weeks. This one I did lager in a keg for about 3-4 months IIRC.
