Guidelines for all Treasury Challenges:

THE CHALLENGE - should you choose to accept it : )

Create a beautiful treasury around the week's inspiration theme and item. Be creative in title and tags and diverse in item selection.

The winner will :
Choose the following week's theme
Have one of their items featured in the next week's theme (TONS of treasuries will be created with and around your item!)
Shop promotion throughout the team, on this blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
Spot to guest judge in the following week's challenge.

Winning treasury will be chosen based on originality of items, title and tags, how well it represents theme and flows with the featured item.

Guidelines:
>>Each treasury created MUST have the inspiration item in it (does not have to be in the top spot just has to be one of the 16 items.)

>>All entries properly tagged with the two tags for that weeks challenge (TT teamchallenge# or EOF teamchallenge# & theme's title - this will be announced in the thread as well as on the blog).

>>No two items from the same shop

>>No items from your own shop

>>One entry per person

>>Please post entries in the designated challenge thread only - treasuries posted in other threads will not be counted. Also please only post TT team challenge treasuries in the thread - all non challenge treasuries will be deleted.


>>If an item has sold and you would like to change it or if you would like to edit your treasury if you forgot the inspo item or tags - you are able to repost your treasury explaining that items were sold, included tags, etc. The last submission will be the one judged. This still falls within the guidelines of only ONE treasury per person. PLEASE let us know if you have questions about EDITING treasuries.

>>Treasuries can be ALL team items, SOME team (including leaders and captain) or 15 non team items - just as long as the inspiration item is included in one of the 16 spots.

This week's theme will be announced: Friday
Submission deadline will be Wednesday Midnight.
Winner will be announced Thursday


Entries must include the following to be entered:

Each treasury created MUST have the inspiration item in it (does not have to be in the top spot just has to be one of the 16 items.)

Title and tags may be whatever you choose but the two tags for that weeks challenge MUST be included in your treasury's tags.

**PLEASE** Post your treasuries/entries in the designated thread, ONE treasury per person.

Submission deadline will be Monday midnight EST.

You do not have to have a shop; EVERYONE on the team is allowed to enter.

**It is not a requirement to click and comment in the treasuries above you (the person who leaves the most comments won't automatically win) however it's always recommended to show support to your fellow Etsians and their treasuries - you might even get an honorable mention (and maybe a chance to guest judge) for being the most active. : ).


EVERYONE VISITING THESE GUIDELINES PLEASE POST YOUR BLOG HERE : )

  4. I made one, but tried not to overthink it. Just a bunch of vintage or vintage inspired, or upcycled things that I think are pretty.

  7. Does a treasury become ineligible if one of the items is sold? In that case the item still shows in the treasury spot. Do I need to replace it?

    If an item expires or is pulled by the shop for some reason and the treasury spot is blank, do I have to replace it before judging?

    thanks for your help!

  10. @beth - a treasury does not become ineligible if an item is sold. you can either leave the sold item in the treasury, or replace it and then resubmit your entry in the thread.

    @le boudoir - make sure to leave a link in the Top Treasury team thread to have your entry counted in the challenge!

    one more day left!! super excited!
