If you are curious what the Etsy Teasury Poster Challenge is about, read the original post here.
There are only 3 days remaining for the Etsy Treasury Poster Challenge. So far Etsy has received more than 1,000 entries (with 40% coming from Treasury, and 60% coming from the Poster sketch tool).
If you are still interested, submit your entry soon (before Aug 1)! Instructions are here.
With regards to the finished prints, here is Jared’s response:
There has been discussion about selling these prints. For this contest, we really just want to give them away. There has also been talk about creating a coffee table book with all the entries. Both of these are wonderful ideas, although unfortunately they are probably outside the scope of our abilities at this time. We’ll keep the possibility open for the near future.

Etsy and Instructables have partnered to launch the Sew Useful contest to celebrate our two communities. Entrants will bring their skills to practical projects that make life easier, then share the how-tos.
Because Etsy is a community marketplace for independent artists and craftspeople and Instructables is a web community of makers who share homebrew how-tos, we figured this contest would be an excellent endeavor. Etsy is all about bringing your ingenious creation into the world. When you add the Instructable tutorial, you further help out human kind by passing on the know-how. What better way to live the handmade lifestyle and sharpen your competitive edge?
Complete info in the blog and on the contest page.
