How It Works/Timeline

The deadline for applications is February 11, 2013. Applications may close earlier if all available spots in the hunt are filled before this date.

There are 150 spots available in Spring 2013 Twisted Hunt. Applicants will be reviewed in order, and the first 150 applicants to qualify will be awarded these spots. In the past, we’ve raised the cap because of the volume of applications. This year we will NOT raise the limit. 150 stores is plenty.
