Requirements for Participation in this Challenge...
Failure to follow these 8 steps will disqualify you from the challenge.
1. Read the guidelines.
2. Include the Inspiration Item in any of the first 12 spots (not as an alternate).
3.
Leave a link to your treasury in our Entry thread on our team page
before Sunday at noon eastern. Please leave it one time only. Judges and
volunteers use this thread to find the current treasuries. You must
leave your link in the correct thread by the deadline to have your
treasury judged. Your link also needs to be there to have your shop
added to the sidebar list and to be added to the buyer account.
4. Tag your treasury with "nonteamchallenge 111". (separated by a space before the number)
5.
Be sure to include a link to the blog in the treasury description. If
it doesn't fit into the description, you may leave it in the first
comment. http://treasurychallengenonteam.blogspot.com/
6.
Only one entry per person if you have more than one Etsy account. Only
one entry per account if you have multiple people running a single
shop.
7. Support other
participants - View/Comment/Click on as many other treasuries in the
Challenge as possible. Do not leave a link to your treasury in the
comments of another's treasury.
8.
Don't tag your non-team treasury with tags for other teams that you are
a member of. Our non-team treasuries are not meant to promote your
other teams.
*** Only
participate if you'll be available to judge the next week's Challenge -
and report the winning treasury by the next Tuesday. Judging is a hugely
time-consuming job. There may be hundreds of treasuries. Please only
participate if you have the time to judge next week.

Make sure that your shop is in compliance with ety's TOS. We won't
promote shops that are resellers, blatant copyright infringers,
purposeful mis-taggers, etc. Those shops are disqualified from winning

2. Visit our etsy buyer account to see items from shops that participated in the previous challenge.
3. See the left sidebar of the blog to find shop links.
