Are you in the Echidna Embroidery Community Fortnightly Prize Draw?

Here's how to do it... Make sure you are in the running for this terrific prize (remember, you only need to meet the 3 simple criteria listed below).

1) You must have updated your Profile Image to anything other than the generic Echy Echidna Image which is provided by default when you first joined the community. Of course, if you have already uploaded your own Profile image, you don't need to change it again. You have already met this first criteria. Now remember, your profile image does not have to be a picture of yourself. It can be anything you like, such as a picture of your favourite embroidery project. Perhaps your pet or even a photo of your embroidery room. It's up to you.

2) The second criteria is that you must upload a new project or design during the preceding fortnight to qualify for the draw. This means, projects or a designs can be uploaded during the fortnight, anytime from 12.01 am on the Friday morning to 12.00 Midnight on the Thursday and you will have met the second criteria for the Friday Draw. Remember; projects don't need to have any instruction, it is simply the term we use to describe your finished embroidery. You can however say or explain as much as you like about your embroidery projects (there is a limit of 1,000 characters), in the description field when you upload your project.

3) The third criteria is very important, as it is at very the heart of the community. You must have made at least one comment on another members projects or designs. We all like to receive encouragement for our efforts and sometimes embroidery can be a little lonesome. I'm sure everyone has completed an embroidery project and wanted to show the world their masterpiece but the only one in the sewing room at the time is the cat or the dog. By leaving a comment on another member's page, you may just make someones day a lot more enjoyable. The same fornightly rules apply for comments as they do for uploading your projects & designs.

So it's really simple to be in the draw and you are helping grow the community at the same time.
