Treasury Challenge: Yellow Silk Ring

The votes are in, and the winner of the “Star Deck” treasury challenge is Sepia Tones! Congratulations to the curator, bstudio, and thank you very much to all of our participants and voters!

And now it’s time for a fresh new challenge. This fun activity is designed to bring new exposure to great Etsy shops, as well as bring us all together in the spirit of beautiful treasuries!

The contest is open to anyone, and we invite all Etsy members to participate, even if you’re not an Oh Canada Team member. Buyers are also welcome to play!

The winner will receive the opportunity to select the theme for our next challenge. It could be an idea, a color, or even an item from their shop, or a favorite shop, to be featured in our next Treasury Challenge.

The Rules

1. Make a beautiful Etsy Treasury.

2. Your treasury must incorporate the challenge’s theme, and include at least 8 Oh Canada Team members. Check out our team roster for members, or search for the tag OhCanadaTeam when choosing your featured listings.

3. You must include the words “OCT Challenge” somewhere in your treasury’s title.

4. You must tag your treasury with “ohcanadateam” and “OCT challenge”

5. In your treasury’s description, let viewers know that it is an entry in an Oh Canada Team challenge, invite them to join, and provide a link to our main blog, or this post.

6. If an item in your treasury sells or is removed, please replace it with another item from the same shop. Screenshots of each entry will be available in our Flickr challenge album for your reference before judging begins.

7. Please do not use your own shop(s) in your entry, including alternate shops.

How to Enter

To enter your treasury, add a link to it in the comments section of this post.

The deadline for the “Yellow Ring” challenge is Tuesday, September 7th. Our judges will select 6 finalists, and voting will begin on Thursday, September 9th.

Voting for this challenge will close the following Tuesday, and the winner will be announced along with our new challenge theme on Thursday, September 16th.

Everyone is welcome to play - including Etsy shoppers and non-team members. If you’ve never made a treasury on Etsy before, you can get some handy tips in this tutorial: How to Make Etsy Treasuries.

The Theme

Our previous challenge winner, bstudio, has selected a handmade silk ring to be the focus of this challenge. You can curate using any theme that you desire, but you must include this listing in your treasury: Yellow Ruffled Silk Ring.

Since my item will be featured in all the entries, I'd like to volunteer to be a judge for this one instead of making a treasury.
If you need someone just yell!
