A creative challenge open to all
members of Etsy! Create a treasury around the Inspiration Item. Win the
Challenge and the Inspiration Item for the next Challenge will be
something of yours! Who knows how many treasuries will be created with
your item!?
John from CasperDown will
be judging the Challenge this week. It is totally up to him as to what he is looking for. Make the best treasury you can and just maybe one of
your items will be featured in our next Challenge! Please read the
guidelines carefully before creating your treasury.
Our inspiration item is...
Requirements for Participation in this Challenge...
Failure to follow these 9 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. Do not use more than one item from any shop in your treasury. Use sixteen separate shops.
4.
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.
5. Tag your treasury with "nonteamchallenge 154". (separated by a space before the number)
6.
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/
7.
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.
8. 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 person's treasury.
9.
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 Etsy's TOS. We won't
promote shops that are resellers, blatant copyright infringers,
purposeful mis-taggers, etc. Those shops are disqualified from winning
challenges.

Use the current challenge tag on your items to make it easier for
others to include your items in treasuries. Only use this tag if you
plan to create a challenge treasury THIS week. Please read the details
here.
* Use items from other participating shops if you'd like and if their items fit your theme. There are two ways to find them.
1. Search the current challenge tag for all items on Etsy. (Don't forget about our supplies and vintage shops!)
2. Visit our Etsy buyer account to see items from shops that participated in the previous challenge.
* Replace missing items in your treasury. Don't replace sold items.
* Tweet, Facebook, Blog, etc to spread the word about your treasury and our Challenges.
