Month of Challenges: Halfway Check-In (Quick Road Rules aka Challenge Requirements Reminder)

[Esther Wisdom]

We’ve officially hit the halfway point of the Month of Challenges, and we just want to say how much we’re enjoying seeing everyone play along. The creativity, the interpretations, and the overall engagement have been fantastic. Thank you for being so attentive overall to meeting the daily challenge requirements.

That said, somewhere around Day 13, we noticed a little wandering off course. Completely understandable — it’s a long month, life gets busy, and creative brains do their thing. But we wanted to pop in with a quick, friendly reminder.

While I am all about going rogue every once in a while. Jumping the rails, speeding a little, running a red light creatively — I get it. But for right now, can we all put our seat belts back on, follow the street rules (challenge requirements) and save the tickets, speeding, and red-light running for another date and time?

Here’s why: with 100+ challenge participants, each layout has to be checked — and often rechecked — to make sure it meets the challenge requirements. When something is missed, it creates extra rounds of checking, messaging, fixing, and rechecking, which really slows things down at the end when we’re trying to wrap everything up and award the gift cards.

Our goal is absolutely to see everyone who completes all 31 challenges qualify. We want you to win. We just need your help to make that process smooth and fair for everyone.

Before you submit, please take a quick moment to review the challenge prompt and make sure the requirement is clearly represented in your layout. And for good measure, go ahead and just check it again before you hit submit.

Thank you for playing along, creating with us, and helping keep the Month of Challenges fun, fair, and manageable for everyone.

Will keep trying! It seems to be the "easy" challenges that trip me up. The challenge with exactly 13 items? I checked that one 6 times. The challenge with 4 or more arrows / chevrons, I even checked it before I posted, and I only had 3 arrows. ARGH!!! Thanks for your patience. This is a monumental undertaking!

Thanks for the reminder Esther.

[As we are on the down hill slide for the month we still need to remember to link products too. I am having fun seeing product people are using and found some new stuff for my wish list, with those links!]
