Team Spirit
This is TDM's most important contest and where teams really become a factor. throughout the event, whichever group has the most enthusiasm will win for their cause a real-life donation of at least
10 US dollars. (It's usually more than that, but, just to be safe... can never underestimate my brokeness.) If I can’t find a way to donate directly to the cause, I’ll submit a general donation to ACS. Of course, you are welcome to make donations of your own.

So get out there and show your team spirit!! This will be done through the guild, where you can chat with your team, organize get-togethers, and post your art/avis/and photos.
The spirit contest is based on how organized and enthusiastic your team is. There are a lot of ways a team shows their spirit. They take the initiative to recruit more people, hold their own contests, and organize meetings in Towns and basically act as if they genuinely care about awareness of their type.
If you'd like to know where I think your team stands, or what you can do to improve your standings, you can ask me via PM and I'd be glad to share what I think so far.
Tektek
Make a tektek in your team's colors.
The best from each team (and sometimes runners-up) will win.
The prize: At least 20k. It may be more depending on donations.
Dates: The tektek contest will open April 20 and will be closed for entries April 29.
Where to send entries: PM them to Blaizekit. Entries posted in the thread or entries sent before the contest is officially open will be ignored.
Video Contest
Make a slideshow-type video about the event using one of the songs on TDM's
profile page or something else you find that fits the mood of the video. It can be funny, inspirational, moving, whatever.
You could make something focused on your team with lots of screencaps, in which case it could be big bonus points toward the team spirit contest. Or, you can make it about the event in a wider sense and the things we do around Gaia. You can use screencaps, video capture, your own IRL video or photos, artwork, etc. It's okay to use some stuff you found on the internet or whatever, but use anything unoriginal sparingly.
This contest may be entered
individually or as a team. If your team enters one, you can still enter an individual one yourself. All entries will be put into a playlist on the mule's VJ. :3
To enter, send a link to your video (video must be in a form that can work in Gaia VJ) via PM to The Daffodil Movement. They will be added to the playlist and the guild will vote for the winner. Do not send your entry before the contest opens or it will not be counted. I find it hard to believe that you could make a video about TDM if it's just started.
The prize: At least 300k for best vid, may be prizes for runners up as well
Contest opens: April 27
Contest ends: May 3
Nartian Raffle
This will be a part of the
TDM Farewell Party that will be held at the end of the month. This will be a formalwear event where we basically get together and have this raffle and say goodbye. A thread for the party will be made in the guild, but we are going to try to also have everyone party in real time in zOMG. In theory, it will be able to handle more people and not crash constantly like last year when we tried to do it in Towns.
We will meet around the fountain in Barton Town on the same server and hopefully all manage to be there. If not we'll work something out.
There will be many prizes being raffled off, including the final grand prize of Nartian Rock. The other prizes will be whatever people donate for the event. If you would like to donate a prize for the raffle, send a trade to Blaizekit labeled "Raffle". This will keep the items separate from the general donations sent to TDM.
Date: TBD
