There are two different prizes up for grabs! The actual prizes are still under wraps, but I'm happy to announce that there will be 3 Normal Prizes and 2 Super Prizes up for grabs. Stay tuned for more info!



At the conclusion of the event, a raffle will open. Based on your performance in the event, you will be given up to three (3) tickets to enter: one ticket per tier that you completed a challenge in. So, the only way to get 3 tickets is to complete challenges across all three of the tiers. Your additional entries will give you a greater chance of winning, but you can only win once. If you happen to win both prizes, you will be given a choice between the two options and your other "win" will be re-rolled to another participant.

The actual completion process is the same as usual. Per @Chaotic Neutral 's instructions last time around…

For the duration of the event, which is until May 31 midnight at GMT/UTC, you can complete the event challenges, related to the event's theme and laid out in this OP, to earn badges on the board, which you can then feature on your profile and posts. After successfully completing the challenge, post the proof of your accomplishment in this thread (video or image evidence) and indicate which challenge you went for, while @-ing @Chaotic Neutral in the post. Awarding the badges is a manual process, and they can only do the honours when at leisure and by the computer, so you might have to wait patiently for the badge to show up! Then, later on, successful badge-holders will be awarded the opportunity to enter a raffle for prizes, details TBD.

Staff Communication

The raffle site for the event is up!

Note that this particular raffle will be drawn manually instead of through the automatic site system because of the tiered nature of the event. This means that participants will not be able to submit their entries through the raffle site. All users who are awarded a badge will be entered into the raffle appropriately unless they specify that they opt out of the event in their badge claim(s). If you have already earned a badge in the event but want to opt out of the raffle, please let me know either in a reply or a direct message.
