  • Your image sizes can be bigger than the SS requirement and in the event that they are please make sure to keep these images under a photocut or a spoiler tag:

    [photocut=la dee da]images go here[/photocut]
    [spoiler=la dee da]images go here[/spoiler]

  • No plagiarizing. At all. Anyone found plagiarizing will have their Seektober 2025 thread removed and will receive a site warning/infraction. Just don’t do it.
  • We know that creativity waxes and wanes, tis part of the creative process. The provided prompt lists are a set of guidelines that you do NOT have to do in order. If it is day 2 and you are feeling particularly inspired by something on day 15, go for it. Feeling drained and end up missing a day or two (or more - it happens)? Also not a problem and you can do multiple prompts in one day as necessary or set aside a day or two to marathon through them all. The point of Seektober 2025 is to nurture your creativity and try to encourage good creative habits!
  .
• Become an admirer and creative cheerleader:
  Utilize the Evaluation Station to talk about Seektober and other’s creations!
  
  Or post directly into any member made threads commenting on their creations and cheering them on as they tackle the month’s challenges!
  
  We also want to make it clear that you can and should continue to complete your Seektober challenge AFTER the 30 days is up. If you choose a medium that is more difficult to create something every single day for 30 days straight, that is okay! You can choose as many prompts as you want to create. If you choose a specific list and only want to go for 15 prompts, you may choose whatever 15 prompts within that list. They do not have to be chronological. You have the chance to receive an accolade for participating, finishing 15 challenges, or if you finish all 30 challenges!
