We are so excited to announce that we will be choosing a grand prize winner from the ones who complete all seven sketch challenges. The winner will be offered a position on the Caardvarks Crew Team for the new six-month term which begins November 1st! So...if you'd like to throw your name into the hat, be sure to complete all 7 challenges by the deadlines!

So, I just want to make sure I understand the time line and when things are due. So, for example you post the new challenge at 12:01 am sunday night and we have 7:00 am monday morning to have our card up. Is that right? Thanks, this week is going to be so fun.
Yep, that's right! I'll be posting a sketch every night at midnight this week! :)
