Keeping track of challenges

Now I confess I'm a bit of an organiser, and also that I've been trying to follow too many challenges. I have lists here there and everywhere, and on more than one occasion have embarrassed myself by either missing, or misreading the rules of a challenge, and find myself wishing to retract an entry, even if I've relished the inspiration.

So, to help me, and anybody else out there who might be like minded I've created a table of all the challenges I'm currently trying to follow. It gives you:

  • The name of the blog (I promised, there will be more links, but not today)
  • When it opens
  • When it closes
  • What sort of challenges it provides, it may not be all things all the time
  • Does it permit multiple entries?
  • Can you combine an entry with other challenges
  • Notes on challenges that require 100% original artwork, or require use of proprietary materials etc.
 Please forgive any errors or omissions, and the formatting, it's a straight cut and paste from my word processing package and I admit it's not pretty.

January 2017 - I know this is probably now very out of date, certainly a few challenges are no longer running, and others have changed bits and bobs. At some point I may manage to go through and update it, but in the meantime, I would strongly recommend one or both of the following websites that follow papercraft challenges. I only discovered them after pulling this together, and they are awesome :-)

  1. this is a fabulous idea! i really struggle with keeping track and often don't play along for that reason. i've tried an excel sheet, but silly me for not including the links. thanks for the inspiration!
