The Creative Process

Pick your challenge

From within the module (or Any Seven cycle) you have registered for, pick your first challenge.

You will find all the descriptions linked in the menu under The Challenges or in the Participant Center at the top of the page.

Read all the information

Read the challenge page first, it has the description and evaluation criteria for the challenge.

Next, go to the Participant Center and find the Challenge Submission Form link for the same challenge.

Read through the form questions. You will need to know what is going to be asked and whether you’ll need work in progress (WIP) photos.

Make your piece

Follow the description and evaluation criteria to make your piece(s).

Remember to take note of the information we are asking for.

If you need to remind yourself of the descriptions and criteria you can download a pdf of all 28 challenge criteria and form questions here.

Fill in the Challenge Submission Form

When you have completed your piece, your next action is to complete the relevant Challenge Submission form. Form page links can all be found in the Participant Center at the top of the page.

You can fill them in as you finish the challenge or wait until you have completed all seven challenges. It is up to you.

You will need to have completed and submitted all forms before you ship your work.

Complete all seven challenges in the module

Congratulations on finishing your first piece!

Now follow steps 1-5 to complete the other six challenges in the module.

Note: All seven completed challenge pieces must be submitted at the same time to be forwarded for evaluation. Any individual challenge pieces received by admin will be returned to the participant. This applies to Self-Study (Any Seven or Full Module) and Guided.

Before packing and shipping your pieces

Before you pack up your pieces and send them in, you should read the Packing and Shipping page.

This page has the postal addresses for the regional admins where you will need to send your pieces.

Download the Participant Packing Slip

You can download the Participant Packing Slip here and also find it on the Packing and Shipping page and in the Participant Center.

You will need to print it out, fill it in and place it in the shipping box with the challenge pieces you are sending in for evaluation.

If sending in multiple parcels, you will need to complete a packing slip for each one.

Post your parcel

Post your parcel to your regional admin. Their address can be found on the Packing and Shipping page.

Fill in the Module Completion Form

The last thing to do is fill in the Module Completion Form. This form has the details about your parcel, so the admin can track where it is and know to expect it’s arrival.

The form will ask you to upload a photo of your shipping receipt and a tracking number or link.

The Evaluation Process

Admin receives your parcel

When the admin has received your parcel with all seven challenge pieces and Challenge Submission Forms, they will contact the evaluators and forward your parcel on to evaluator 1.

Evaluation 1

Evaluator 1 will complete their evaluation and fill in a form with their scores and comments.

The parcel will then be sent to evaluator 2.

Evaluation 2

Evaluator 2 will repeat the same process as evaluator 1 and send the parcel back to the admin.

Admin returns your work

The admin will collate the evaluations and provide you with pdfs of the evaluation report via email.

Your work will then be sent back to you.

Pass or Resubmit

If your pieces have successfully passed the evaluation you will be sent your Certificate of Achievement.

If you have been asked to repair or revise any of the submitted work, the Certificate of Achievement will be held until all seven pieces rate six or above. Read more about the evaluation process and scoring here.
