2024 NAPO BADGES

If you meet the requirements for a badge, make a post below with a link to your NaPo thread (or comments/WFP links) and the badge you're claiming. Please try to get these posted by May 6, so we can count them.

Writing Poems


Most of the badges are not stackable, meaning you can typically only get one. The only exception is Poem a Day and Sweet Completion. For example: if you write 15 poems this April, you get the Banana Split badge. You don't get both the Sprinkles and Banana Split badges.

Sprinkles If you complete and log 5 poems during the month of April, you'll get a sweet badge for your hard work and effort!

Banana Split Look at you go! If you write at least 15 poems this April, you'll get a tasty treat and a NaPo badge! That's pretty cool!

Sweet Completion If you complete and post 30 poems in your NaPo thread, you earn the Sweet Completion badge! That is a huge accomplishment!

Poem-A-Day Champion If you accept this challenge, you must write at least 1 poem every day of April to complete it. However, time zones can be very tricky. If you miss a day or two, there is a bit of leniency. Please make sure that you have written 30 poems in total though. If you are unsure, contact a poetry moderator for any questions or concerns.

When claiming your badges, please leave a link to your NaPo thread and make sure that your poems are numbered within your thread. Your poems can be posted at any time (unless you are doing Poem a Day), but you must submit a link here to be counted and awarded badges.

Community


YWS has such a beautiful community, so it's only natural that we help each other out when it comes to NaPo. These badges are about just that! If you support your fellow poets and join in on the fun, you can get some pretty neat badges!

Ice Cream Socialite To claim this badge, you have to leave 20 unique comments in NaPo threads other than your own. Since everyone needs a little encouragement, your comments must be left in at least 5 different threads.

Ice Cream Parlour Owner Since NaPo is such a community effort, this badge is all about that! To collect this badge, please log at least 5 different poetry jams. You could either host them or attend them, but you have to post at least 5 of them here. If you do host one, make sure to post the link on the Poetry Jam Club's wall!

To claim these badges, leave links to your NaPo thread comments or WriterFeed Pads. Please make sure to number them accordingly.

Contests


PCrewPick Recipient This April, all of our beloved poetry crew is going to be highlighting poetry using the #PCrewPick hashtag. This badge is awarded to anyone who receives a shoutout.

ThePeoplesPick Recipient This badge is similar to PCrewPick one, but the only difference is that it's from the community. If someone gives one of your poems a shoutout using the #ThePeoplesPick hashtag, you can claim this badge! There is no limit to how many poems you can shoutout.

April Madness Finalist April Madness is a very traditional part of our NaPo celebration! To receive this very limited edition badge, you would have to make it to the last round of April Madness. Check out the April Madness thread to learn more.

Neapolitan Games This year we'll have three "mini challenges" each week of NaPo, with a chance to earn 3 exclusive badges and even some points. See the full instructions in the Neapolitan Games thread.

There are no steps to claim these badges. For example: if you are an April Madness finalist, you don't need to post it below. We will find out.

---

If you don't keep a record of what you have completed, it isn't guaranteed you will receive your badges. That is why we ask you to post it here. All poetry written and community efforts completed must happen during April to be counted.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do collaborative poems count towards total poetry? No! However, if you write one during a poetry jam, you can count that towards community badges.

What do you mean by "unique comments" in NaPo threads? Every comment you leave in someone's thread must be written for them and about them. The same "good job!" is a good message, but it isn't what we are looking for. Your comments can be any length, but they must be positive and individual.

What is a Parlour Jam? A parlour jam (or poetry jam) is a shared writing space where you are encouraged to write poetry. There could be prompts provided, or it could be a casual, spontaneous writing session. If you want to host your own jam, you are very welcome to! You can learn more about them if you check out the Poetry Jam Club, and I'd recommend subscribing.

How do I claim my badges? Post a comment below where you collect the links to your NaPo comments or leave a link to your thread. Be sure to clarify in your post which badge you are claiming, and please number your poems

What if I have an emergency and miss posting one day? No worries! Life comes first! If you miss up to 2 days, it won't affect your effort towards the Poem a Day challenge. This also counts for time zone differences as well, since everyone is spread out all over the world. However, your end total must be 30 poems.

That's it! Feel free to ask any questions here!
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
