Hello! Welcome to the second board for everyone's favourite weekly avatar challenge, Stimulate Your Style. Stimulate Your Style is a weekly avatar challenge hosted by the staff of , designed to test your skills and inspire your creativity! We host a new challenge every week and welcome all of Subeta - whether it's your first challenge or fiftieth - to participate.

A new challenge will be posted every Wednesday. Join our ping group, , to receive weekly updates and reminders when new challenges are posted. New challenges will also be posted to our website, style-file.org. Check the 'Contests' tab for the latest.

There will now be prizes to reward your efforts! When you enter the weekly challenge, you will earn 20 raffle tickets. Additionally, I'm adding a fun, competitive twist to proceedings to encourage site activity. You will also earn 1 raffle ticket per adore. Adores will be totalled up when the raffle is drawn on Wednesday and a new challenge will be posted shortly after.

Once you have uploaded your avatar, I encourage you to share it with this thread, too, so we can keep track of entries. Please link directly to the style. Remember that you must own your items and be able to wear your outfit to upload it to Style File. You are free to use Custom Wearables as you please. If you would like to share the avatar I recommend uploading to an image sharing site like Imgur and pasting from there. Feel free to tag your challenge avatars with 'stimulate' and admire the creativity of your fellow designers!

If you do not want to upload your avatar, you are still more than welcome to participate. You can share your entries using the Shared Outfits function in the current wardrobe; save your creation then post the link to the thread, and don't delete it before we draw the raffle! Alternatively, save a copy of your challenge avatar and upload it to a trusty image sharing site, again Imgur, and post it in this topic. While you will not be entitled to the bonus tickets, you will of course still be eligible to win the prizes with your 20 raffle tickets. If you would just like to share to the thread, you are not required to own all items. But if you would like to share to Style File you must be able to wear it - whether you own the items or borrow them.

Can you smell it in the air, can you hear it all around? Spring is here (when it's not raining 24/7...) and bees are busy working hard for our flowers and their beehive.. and for us to steal their delicious spit :K To honor those lovely creatures, Esther has created these bright tights with a great pattern for layering. Try them and enter your HA for a chance to win CSC!

You can purchase these tights at Esther's shop for 6 Vesnali Coins. If you don't have enough coins, ping me here and I'll send you one asap :)

This challenge will end next week, on Wednesday May 22nd! Share your outfits here to enter using the Share Outfits option in the wardrobe.

Remember: we award 10 lucky entries with a 100 Credit Gift Card and a bonus 250 Credit Gift Card in our loyalty raffle, so be sure to enter!

As always, you can earn 20 raffle tickets for your entry with the bonus of 1 raffle ticket per adore for your upload to Style File! With these new prizes, it's never been a better time to be a member and share your creations with the community! ;)

And as a reward for continued participation, we have also introduced a new, bonus raffle that rewards frequent entrants!

Loyalty Raffle! Going forward, each week we will pull one lucky name to receive a 250 Credit Gift Card alongside our usual winners! And who knows, some weeks we may pull two, three users from the magical raffle hat of randomness to receive this wonderful bonus. In a twist from our standard weekly raffle we will award you one single ticket for your Stimulate entry (multiple avatars are, of course allowed, but will still generate a single ticket).

If you don't win, however, your ticket will carry across to the next week and accumulate until your name is picked out! Your tickets will continue to build until you are selected as a winner. To win, you must have submitted an avatar for that week. If you do miss a challenge, don't worry, your accumulated tickets are entered when you do participate again. Once you win, there will be a cooldown period of four weeks where you cannot win this bonus prize - but entries will continue to accumulate tickets and, furthermore, can still win a weekly prize. You will be able to win both the weekly raffle and bonus raffle in a single week, however. Perhaps lady luck will truly shine down on you?

Firstly, we have the Lending & Borrowing group! Join the ping group to get involved and share the riches of your wardrobe with fellow members.

Secondly, there's the Avatar Critiques & Advice thread. is the group to join to help and be helped by your fellow members, who are always willing to cast an eye over your creations for a second opinion. And this is the perfect place to ask for tips and tricks from fellow Style File members.

Next, we have set up a chit chat thread called Style File Speaks. The forum group has been created to help my fellow chatterboxes. I have thought that a space to talk - whether it's about human avatars, Subeta or even our lives outside - is long overdue for our fabulous forum group. Check out the topic for more information and get chatting!

Lastly, check out the General Discussion & Updates thread. Keep in the loop with the latest goings on on Style File and raise any questions and concerns here.

Style File Shop We have now opened the Style File Shop! All profits from the shop will be reinvested into prizes for future events and contests; while some items will be used for prizes themselves.

All members of the forum group are welcome to 20% discount on shop search prices (expect for the Custom Wearables, though we are open to selling these for the right price!). If anything catches your eye, just drop me a comment and I'll arrange a trade for you. I'm welcome to negotiate further on expensive items listed in the shop. Furthermore, if you'd like to donate any items to the shop or sP to the Style File Bank just lemme know and we'll sort something out. Any and all contributions are appreciated. We thank you for your continued support!
