2021 ᑎᗩᑭO ᗷᗩᗪGES & ᑕOᑎTESTS Check out the information below to learn how you can earn different badges this April during NaPo for participating in National Poetry Writing Month! If you complete one of the challenges please make a post below with the link to your thread (&/or poems & comments) and the name of the badge you're claiming. WRITING POEMS bookmark High Five Complete and log just 5 poems during the month of April and you'll get a high-five as well as this limited edition NaPo badge for your hard work! Please leave a link to your thread below if you've earned this badge. bookmark Hearty Halfway If you complete at least 15 poems over April and post them in your NaPo thread, you've won the "Hearty Half-Way" badge for your dedication! Note that you can't get this one and the completion one - just one or the other. Leave a link to your thread below if you've earned this badge. bookmark NaPo Completion Write 30 poems in April and post in your NaPo thread. You don't need to post all the links to the poems here, the only stipulation is there must be at least 30 in your thread by the end of the month. Poems can be posted anytime during April and can be any length or form to complete this challenge bookmark Poem A Day This is the traditional NaPo challenge! Write at least 1 poem every day of April with the correct time-stamps in your NaPo thread. (There is some leniency if you get a day or two off, but the majority should be done on the day in question and there should be at least 30 total at the end - feel free to message one of the Poetry Mods if you are unsure.) COMMUNITY bookmark Garden Challenge NaPo is mostly an individual effort, but the great thing about YWS is that we get to pursue these efforts as a community! This challenge is about encouraging your fellow writers! So spread some joy and encouragement by completing this challenge. To claim the Garden Challenge Badge comment 30 times in the NaPo threads (other than your own), you must comment in at least 5 different threads and collect the links below. Each comment should be unique and be written in the month of April. bookmark Starter Seeds Challenge Go for 10 unique comments in NaPo threads during NaPo this year and earn the "Starter Seeds" badge! Make sure that your comments aren't all in the same person's thread, and collect the comment links to claim the badge. bookmark Jammified You've got it in the jar! For this challenge, collect the jam jars (ie. Poetry Jam Links) from at least 5 different Poetry Jams or Workshops during the month of April! To count for "attendance" you need to be in the jam for at least 20 minutes and contribute to the jam discussion. Provide the links or the date you attended below to make sure you can claim your badge! Also if the times of the jams that the moderators run don't work for your schedule, feel free to run your own and get others on the site to attend! If you count a jam that you're running for this contest, it should be a write-in link posted in the Jam Club for at least 30 minutes. And consider subscribing to the Poetry Jam Club so that you don't miss any of the jams available! CONTESTS bookmark April Madness Finalist If you make it to the last round of April Madness you will receive your own, exclusive, highly-sought-after, limited edition April Madness badge! ~~~ Note: If you don't post below, you may not be awarded your badge. Poetry must be written in April. Try to claim your badges by May 6. If you use roman numerals to number your poetry, you especially need to make sure to comment in this thread if you make it to 30, since there are some moderators alliyah who are illiterate in roman numerals

Sorry about that @BrokenHeartsAri looks like your poem number wasn't record correctly in our records - you should have the badge now and are listed correctly on the Recap now.

Congratulations in finishing NaPo with 30+ poems!

Congratulations to all the badge winners and NaPo participants - The 2021 NaPo Recap can be found here. If you believe you earned a badge but did not receive it please comment or send a PM to someone in Poetry Crew and we'll see what we can do, thank you!

you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now

but i have promised to return

You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
