A Few Questions and Answers
Since the blog first went up, a number of questions have been asked. I'll to do my best to answer them all here.
Finding a Partner
If you are in need of a race partner, we set up a special forum at NDISB to post if you're looking for a partner.
Who is Eligible for the Grand Prize?
All teams who complete all of the challenges by their respective deadlines are eligible to be in the drawing for the Grand Prize, except teams where one or both members are NDISB Creative Team Members or Designers.
NDISB staff members (Creative Team and Designers) are NOT eligible for the grand prize and by association, anyone they team with is not eligible. Therefore, pick your partner carefully. And NDISB staff members should make sure their partners are aware of this. NDISB staff members and their teammates may participate in the individual challenges and receive their prizes for those challenges.
What IS the Grand Prize?
Ahhhh, yes, that is definitely worth asking. The Grand Prize is ever growing, but if you look over on the right you'll see a list of our Grand Prize donors under Race Sponsors. When we have the final list in place, we'll be sure to post exactly what you're racing for. You won't be disappointed, we promise!
When Does the Race Start/How Long is It?
The race begins on Monday, July 16 and runs for 6 weeks. There will be a total of 12 challenges.
What if I'm Going on Vacation During the Race?
We are sensitive to the fact that the race is smack dab in the middle of summer and thus, summer vacation plans. If you will be gone for a portion of the race without internet access but would still like to participate, contact us before you leave and we'll try to work something out. We will work with the host sites to accommodate you the best we can; but in fairness to the rest of the racers, you will be ineligible for the Grand Prize drawing. But we can work it out so that you can at least participate in the weekly challenges. It is key that you contact us BEFORE your vacation though.
Do We Have to Use Specific Designers/Products?
It is up to each host site what the challenge will be. But the race rules state that racers will not be required to purchase anything to participate. That doesn't mean the host site won't provide a kit for free that must be used.
Last year, all the challenges allowed racers to use whatever they had. One was particularly tough though. The challenge was to create a layout using only one product per designer. You could use products from any designer you wanted, but you couldn't use more than one item per designer. It was tough, but really fun!

Weren't around last season for the inaugural race? No problem, here's how it works:
Welcome to The Amazing Digi Scrapping Race, Season 2!
Teams of two will traverse the digital scrapping world, site by site, completing challenges and collecting prizes along the way. Everyone who completes the week's challenges in the allotted time frame will move on to the next week, where they can collect even MORE prizes! And at the end of the race, everyone who has travelled around the digiworld and completed each and every challenge will be entered into a drawing for the GRAND prize!So the first thing you have to do is find yourself a partner! Once you've done that, please send ONE email per team to RaceHost@ndisb.com with the following information:
Team Name:Racer 1 Name:
Racer 1 Email:
Racer 1 Main Gallery*:
Racer 2 Name:
Racer 2 Email
Racer 2 Main Gallery*:
OPTIONAL
Your Team's Motto
A Team Blinkie
A link to your Team's Blog (if you have one)
Your Team's theme song (if you have one)
*You may post to as many galleries as you like, but we will link to the one gallery where you will be sure to post all of your Race layouts so we can check to make sure you qualify for the next round.
Your first challenge will be posted in the forums at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking on July 16. Challenges will be posted each Monday and Thursday, and both must be completed by the subsequent Sunday at midnight Pacific time to qualify to continue in the Race.
A project is considered "complete" when:
1. The project(s) have been completed according to the challenge rules,
2. The project(s) are posted to each Racer's main gallery, and
3. ONE email per team is sent containing direct links to the project(s) to RaceHost@ndisb.com.
Clues to subsequent challenges will be posted in the forums at NDISB as well as on the ADSR blog. Everyone who has completed Week One will qualify to continue racing during Week Two, and the fun begins all over again. THERE IS NO JUDGING, AND THE ONLY WAY TO BE ELIMINATED IS TO FAIL TO COMPLETE THE WEEK'S CHALLENGES.
Each time you complete a challenge you will receive a prize from the host site. You may receive a direct link, or you may receive a coupon code. Prizes and delivery of said prizes are at the discretion of the site host.
NDISB has no control over what the prizes will be or how the site host will choose to deliver them. You will never be required to join forums, sign up for newsletters, or purchase anything in order to participate in the Race. You may, however, be required to register in a site's store in order to redeem a coupon.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your application to participate in The Amazing Digiscrapping Race constitutes an agreement that any prizes or codes obtained in the course of the Race are NOT to be distributed by any means. Terms of use in each prize MUST be honored by all Racers. Failure to comply will result in dismissal from the Race and your application for future Races will be denied. Digital piracy will not be tolerated.
So are you ready? If so, go grab a teammate and get registered. Registration opens July 1 and closes July 10. Then start toning up and working on your endurance...you're going to need all the scrapping strength and mojo you can get if you want to win!
