With just a week and change left until start, we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that participants are eligible for awards!

For any works you share, we have banners that give a numerical summary of (currently) up to nine unique contributions. If you end up with more than that, let us know and we'll be more than happy to work with you to get a banner that you're satisfied with.

For anyone who tries something new, you can get a token with your name of choice and whatever new medium you tried, be it fic, gifs, vids, meta, fanfoods, crafts, or anything else! The year imprint will be updated accordingly.

Additionally, for anyone who completes a punch card, we've got an additional sticker token that can be pasted to your banner, tokens, or anywhere else you desire. Reminder that commenters and creators are both eligible for punch card awards.

All awards can be requested upon event conclusion by filling out the Summary Form. They will be delivered as swiftly as possible and in order of request. Questions, comments, concerns? Comment on this post, send us an ask, or send us an email at [email protected].

Drop us a follow here on tumblr and/or join our dreamwidth community. We hope you join us for this round of Be a Goldfish!

We're just a few days away, and we've already talked about awards a couple times now, but we wanted give some examples for the kind of things you can expect:

[ID: Two example banners, orange with a goldfish sillouhette on the left side. Both are awarded to theurbanspaceboi. They read "Be A Goldfish '25" and "A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang" across the top and bottom respectively. The first is for 'seventeen comments.' The second is for 'two webs woven, seventeen comments left, five playlists made, two socks knit, three fics written, and two zines folded.' /End ID]

For anyone who signs up, leaves some comments and/or shares some works, you may claim a customized award banner with a summary of all your contributions! If/when you complete the summary form, you may request a banner, at which point we will make and email it straight to your inbox ASAP.

[ID: An example token, orange, with a goldfish sillouhette in the background with an imprinted number ‘25.’ It reads First Medium, the words curve across the top and bottom respectively. Awarded to devinwolfi. /End ID]

Additionally, for anyone who does something they've never done before, you can claim a token! On that same summary form, you may tell us anything new you did, whether that be your first fic, first drabble, fanart, meta, fan-food, zine, or even left your first comment!

Pat yourself on the back and tell everyone how well you did. You can put these anywhere, share them with your friends, parents, pets, and even strangers on the street!

For cases where spacing or layout become an issue, such as in the cases of longer usernames on the tokens or more than six types of fanwork on the banners, we may reach out to you with some options and work with you to find an award that you're satisfied with.
