Upload your project to your blog, Splitcoast Stampers (SCS) or some type of card gallery so we will be able to find your entry, please enter your “Direct” post link to Mr. Linky, and be sure to post a comment on the MM blog the week you enter. If it is not a direct link then we will not be able to find it and may have to delete it. If you have played along and it is after the weekly deadline, please feel free to still post up to Mr. Linky. Only names posted during that challenges' week by the deadline will be put in the random drawing. You have 7 days for each entry to be submitted.

Please contact me if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Thank you for playing :)

Note : Although we make every effort to visit our participants blogs and card hosting communities, sometimes we are unable to leave comments due to circumstances beyond our control. Most of the team belongs to all the major sites. It is not that we don't like your card or want to comment, it is just impossible for our Design Team to belong to every Cardmaking Community and take the time required to do so. If you do not receive comments from our Design Team, it is because of this fact and not because we overlooked your entry!
MIDNIGHT MADNESS MASTERPIECE AWARD
Each week we are awarding a special Badge Award to one person for their outstanding sketch submission. If you would like to be considered for this award, please make sure your card link is posted to Mr. Linky by Midnight Monday EST of each week. This is our way of let you know how wonderfully talented you are and how much we appreciate you

The MM REMARKABLES AWARD!!
The Midnight Madness Team has created a very special award called The “Midnight Madness Remarkables” Award !! We would like to acknowledge those entries that are just exceptionally Remarkable!! During our voting each week, due to the caliber of the cards entered in our challenges, we end up with so many ties and close votes, so this Fairy logo is for those recipients to display proudly.
