Welcome to Wolfie’s Summer Passport Challenge!

Your goal is to complete various summer tasks for a chance to WIN a prize.

To participate in Wolfie’s Summer Passport Challenge, start by filling out the registration form linked below. Wolfie’s Summer Passport Challenge lasts three weeks, divided into three weeks. You will be registering for all three weeks.

Once the event begins, you will receive an email with a link to generate your Week 1 passport via a website called Bingo Baker. There is no login required, however, you must keep the link to your passport for the duration of the week. If you lose the link, you will need to generate a new passport and restart, so bookmark the link to your browser, email it to yourself, or write it down somewhere where you can easily access it.

There will be THREE different passports for three weeks; one for each week. Each week is a separate adventure so to participate you must generate a new passport at the beginning of each week via the provided link (don’t forget to bookmark it). Links for Week 2 and Week 3 will be emailed to you when the week starts. Once the next week starts, the previous week’s passport will not be valid for submission.

Week 1 - July 27 to August 2: In the Wild
Week 2 - August 3 to August 9: Summer Vacation
Week 3 - August 10 to August 16: Back to School


Completing a Task

When you are completing a task, you MUST take a photo of either yourself completing the task or the end result (i.e. a screenshot of an activity log or your work solving a math problem). Then, mark the task as completed on your online passport. To log the activity, fill out the Passport Log form (emailed to you with the Passport generation link) and attach both your unique passport link and the photo or video of the task. If you do not upload a photo or video, the task will not be considered complete. You are able to upload up to 10 tasks per log (one file each), with a maximum file size each of 100MB. If you have completed more than 10 tasks, please complete the Passport Log form again with the additional tasks. You can upload tasks as you complete them, or in one large batch.


Prizes

There are 7 prizes available to win as part of Wolfie’s Summer Passport Challenge; WEEKLY PRIZE (1 per week), SPOT PRIZES (1 per week)  GRAND DRAW PRIZE (one random prize draw).

Weekly Prizes:

1 Prize per week will be determined by the person who completes the most tasks in each week:

Week 2 (Summer Vacation) - Self Care Prize Pack (including a weighted blanket and more!)
Week 3 (Back to School) - Games Night Prize Pack (including a variety of games and more!!)

***IN THE CASE OF A TIE***  If there are two or more participants who have completed the same amount of tasks in a week, the prize will be given to the participant who submitted their final Passport Log first using submission timestamps. Participants are only eligible to win one  WEEKLY PRIZE throughout the duration of Wolfie’s Summer Passport Challenge. If a previous winner completes the most tasks in a given week, the prize will be awarded to the participant who completed the second-most tasks.In the case of a tie, the prize will be given to the participant who submitted their final Passport Log first using submission timestamps. If a tie occurs between a participant who has won a previous week and a participant who has not, the prize will be given to the participant who has not previously won.


Spot Prizes:

3 Spot Prizes will be given out throughout the duration of the event. The Spot prizes will be randomly drawn once per week from all participants who submitted a Passport Log that week. Anyone participating is eligible to win this prize whether they have already won or not.  These prizes will be in the form of one $25 gift card per winner.

Grand Prize:

The final Grand Draw Prize of Beats Studio+ Earbuds will be randomly drawn from all participants at the end of the event. All participants are eligible for the Grand Draw Prize. The draw will take place on Monday, August 17, 2026, using wheelofnames.com.

You will leave with a handcrafted memento to adorn your home and newfound skills to create more!

This workshop is suitable for beginner and advanced DIYers. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring one or more decorative designs, patterns, or photographs that inspire them.
