2026 NAPO BADGES https://i.ibb.co/1gbgK8B/Na-Po-2026-4.png 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 also earn the badge for writing fifteen poems if you write thirty poems. The exception to this is that you can earn both NaPo Completion (A Bushel of Poetry) and Poem-A-Day (An Apple A Day)! bookmark A Peck of Poetry If you complete at least 15 poems over April and post them in your NaPo thread, you'll win this badge for your hard work. bookmark A Bushel of Poetry 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 - please make sure they're numbered in your thread! There are no requirements for the form / length of a poem for it to "count" towards this badge! bookmark An Apple A Day To earn this you must write at least 1 poem every day of April with the correct time-stamps in your NaPo thread. (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!). You know what they say about an apple a day, anyway... Please leave the link to your NaPo thread below and make sure that your poems are numbered within your thread to earn these badges. Community These badges are about spreading encouragement, supporting our fellow poets, and joining in on fun activities - we are a writing community after all! For participation to count towards any of these badges, it must take place during the month of April. bookmark The Whole Barrel You’ve combed through every row of the orchard! To earn this badge, you must leave one comment in each NaPo thread that has a "Comments Welcome" tag . (Please be careful as to not comment in a thread that does not want any!) bookmark The Daily Dollop By contributing a comment every day for a month , you can earn this badge! We know that time zones can make things tricky - there is some wiggle room depending on when you post each comment, but please aim for one every day. bookmark Concentrated Jam This badge honours the depth of your insight and your commitment to exploring a single poet throughout this NaPo season. To earn this badge, you must write five comments within the same one thread . bookmark Jam Collector Collect 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 log your name somewhere in the writing space. If you are busy when some are being hosted, 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 . bookmark Recipe Box Prompt Participant New this year! Borrow a poetry prompt from a friend by asking them for a poetry recipe! If you use the prompt in your thread, you and your friend both get this snazzy badge! To claim any of these badges, leave links numbered down below. Contests bookmark PCrewPick Recipient Your resident Poetry Crew Mods will be highlighting a new NaPo poem twice a month this April using #PCrewPick! This badge is awarded to anyone who receives a shoutout this NaPo. bookmark ThePeoplesPick Recipient 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.) bookmark April Madness Finalist If you make it to the last round of April Madness, you will receive your own limited edition April Madness badge! Check out the official April Madness thread for more info on what this contest may look like. You don't need to complete any steps to "claim" / earn these contest badges. We will find out somehow... --- 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. Happy poeting, friends!

Thread: me&my
Poems: 30/30 (and maybe then some)

Going for a peck and a bushel a day. I know I won't get the apple.

Pants are an illusion. And so is death.

Thread: my now is not my forever

I'm doing a more chill Napo and aiming for 15 poems!

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
