I always had done the challenges from the Message board but you used to be able to access them a different way. Now when I go to challenges I get ones from 2009 and 2007 etc. I don't know how to get to the current month.

The challenges are done a little differently since there is not a Design Team here at ACOT anymore. Awesome board members stepped up and are hosting them individually. This month another awesome board member put together this main thread. Hope that helps :)

Can we enter multiple challenges with the same project- for instance a theme challenge and a sketch challenge with the same layout? Thanks!

I run a challenge blog called CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration (ACOT sponsored us last year). May I post an invitation to my challenge on your board?.

On the monthly challenges, I noticed that there are Cherries who signed up.  Do you have to sign up for each challenge by a certain date or do the challenge and enter it and let the host know you participated?

I am a challenge hostess and as far as I know, you just do the challenge, then post your page on that challenge thread :)

As Kristin said, you just do the challenge and post your layout.  I don’t know where you see that people have “signed up?”  There are a couple challenges where the hostess has you answer a pre-question or do something first before they post the challenge, though.

I think the lists of names that you are referring to are those Cherries that have already entered the challenge by posting their project in the challenge thread or gallery album that it pertains to.  Some of the hostesses make a list of names in the original challenge post of those who have entered their challenge.  This helps keep track of entries for choosing the winners.

All you have to do to enter a challenge is do a project and post it in the challenge thread. You do not need to sign up or notify the hostess. Just be sure to read the rules of the challenge as each hostess has her own individual rules. Be careful as that some hostesses require that you post your project to a special spot in the gallery that she has set up.

The list you are seeing is not a sign up list. As Vicki said it is just a list of the Cherries that have posted to the challenge. I do this on both of my challenges. It helps me keep track of all those that participate in my challenge and the order that they posted their submissions. If you see a list in the opening post you will find you name added to it sometime after you post your challenge but before a winner is picked.

If I were interested in hosting a monthly scrapbook challenge here, are there any rules and conditions I would have to meet? Do I need to be a part of a design team (or an equivalent position?) If so, I am interested in learning more!

Basically, you can just post your challenge. :)  The master list of challenges is posted by Barb/pawprints every month, and we send her the link to our challenges.  Most are due at the end of the month, but it is your challenge, so you can run it however you like. We try not to do challenges that are similar to other already established challenges, but that is it.

Also, any prize offered is up to the challenge hostess.  ACOT is not responsible for challenge prizes except for something sponsored by them.
