2023 NAPO BADGES https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/815770321630003222/1084893246381113414/CLAIM_YOUR_BADGES.png?ex=65ef4192&is=65dccc92&hm=a4c8f3a516be13add5d5d00fea9e96f49d91c422cb19c632e346af78f7575384& Read on to learn how you can earn different badges this April for participating in National Poetry Writing Month ! If you complete the requirements for a badge, make a post below with the link to your NaPo thread (and/or comments or WFPs) and the name of the badge you're claiming by May 6. Writing Poems Most of these badges are not stackable, meaning you can't earn both the First Sprouts and the Early Bloomer badge - if you write 15 poems, you'll only get an Early Bloomer badge. The exception to this is that you can earn both NaPo Completion and Poem-A-Day! bookmark First Sprouts You did it! Complete and log 5 poems during the month of April and you'll get a nifty NaPo badge for your hard work. bookmark Early Bloomer It seems you've got a bit of a green thumb! A poem every-other-day in April is not a small feat. If you complete at least 15 poems over April and post them in your NaPo thread, you'll win the "Early Bloomer" badge for your dedication. bookmark NaPo Completion You're a pretty prolific poet! Earn this badge by writing and posting 30 poems in your NaPo thread. The only criteria is that these poems must be written during the month of April - and please make sure they're numbered in your thread. There are no requirements for the form or length of a poem for it to "count" towards this badge! bookmark Poem-A-Day Champion This is the traditional NaPo challenge! To win this you must write at least 1 poem every day of April with the correct time-stamps in your NaPo thread. (Timezones are tricky, so there's a little leniency if you miss a day or two as long as there are 30 poems total in your thread at the end of the month. However, the majority of your poems should be written and posted on their respective days! Feel free to message one of the Poetry Mods if you are unsure whether you've earned this badge.) To claim any of these badges, leave the link to your NaPo thread below and make sure that your poems are numbered within your thread. Community NaPo is mostly an individual effort, but the great thing about YWS is that we get to support each other as a community while we take on the challenge! These badges are about spreading encouragement, supporting our fellow poets, and joining in on fun activities! For participation to count towards any of these badges, it must take place during the month of April. bookmark Garden Challenge Sometimes we need a bit of encouragement to get to the NaPo finish line! To claim this badge, spread some sunshine by leaving 20 unique comment in NaPo threads other than your own. These comments should be left in at least 5 different threads. bookmark Starter Seeds If you plant 5 unique comments in NaPo threads during NaPo this year you can earn the "Starter Seeds" badge! Make sure that your comments aren't all in the same person's thread (there's a different badge for that). bookmark Bushel of Apples You shouldn't put all your eggs in the same basket...but you can put all your apples in the same bushel! It's nice to have someone who consistently reads your poems as they develop over the course of the month, and that's what this badge is for. If you leave 5+ unique comments all in the same NaPo thread this April, you can claim the "Bushel of Apples" badge! bookmark Jam Collector It's time to make some yummy jam! Collect jam jars (ie links) from at least 5 different Poetry Jams , Write-ins or Poetry Discussions. To count for "attendance" you need to be in the jam for at least 20 minutes and contribute to the discussion. If the times of mod-run write-ins don't work for your schedule, you can also run your own and get others on the site to attend! To count a jam that you ran yourself for this badge, make sure to post your write-in link on the Poetry Jam Club (and consider subscribing to the club, too, so you don't miss other people's write-ins!). To claim any of these badges, leave links to the comments you wrote or WriterFeed Pads you attended down below. Please make sure to number your links. Contests bookmark PCrewPick Recipient New this year! Your resident Poetry Mods will be highlighting a new NaPo poem every single day of April using #PCrewPick! This badge is awarded to anyone who receives a #PCrewPick shoutout this NaPo. bookmark ThePeoplesPick Recipient New this year! Similar to the old PoetryShoutout hashtag, ThePeoplesPick hashtag allows any user to shoutout their favourite NaPo poems they've read throughout the month. If someone gives your poem a shoutout using this hashtag, you will be awarded the "ThePeoplesPick Recipient" badge! (We encourage you to use #ThePeoplesPick on the People's Tab to highlight all the amazing poetry that YWSers write this NaPo! There's no limits on how many shoutouts you can give, and you'll be sure to brighten someone's day.) bookmark April Madness Finalist If you make it to the last round of April Madness you will receive your own, highly-sought-after, limited edition April Madness badge! And, new this year, First and Second place finalists will win official YWS merch! Check out the official April Madness thread when it gets posted for more info on what these prizes may look like. You don't need to complete any steps to "claim" these badges. --- If you don't post below recording your activity and the badges you are eligible for, you may not be awarded your badge(s). Poetry and comments for badges must be written in April.

I'm aiming for NaPo completion/ Poem a day

Here's my thread lipstick stains on wet walls

I won't go down by myself, but I'll go down with my friends
I'm taking back the life you stole
Came a time when every star fall brought you to tears again

I think I have completed the steps to earn the Early Bloomer badge

here is my thread: My life in many words

Also I wasn't sure if my post that I did here before April started counted so, re claiming a spot to make sure.

I'm aiming for Napo Completion/Poem A Day Champion

Love will come to you in time but it takes patients to wait for its arrival!
