Writing entries must be at least 300 words. Art entries must be at least clean lines, colored, and include enough objects to satisfy the prompt.

Reward: 1 bell coin and 1 star fragment


2 stars prompt: what theme is your island? Does it have one? Draw or describe.
Reward: 1 bell coin and 1 star fragment

4 stars prompt: draw or describe a decorated area of your island. How do your villagers feel about it? Is the space utilized or ignored?
Reward: 1 bell coin and 1 star fragment

Reward: 1 bell coin, your choice of Bell Voucher or Tailors Ticket, and 1 star fragment

Level your villager friendship:
All villagers start at 0 Friendship Level (this includes acquiring traded villagers). Friendship leveling will be different than island leveling, as you may need to use tickets/vouchers to advance. In addition to bell rewards, Leaf Badges are also awarded. Leaf Badges are a way to display your villager's friendship level, at a glance. Your player villager must be the character interacting with your chosen villager.

Writing entries must be at least 300 words. Art entries must be at least clean lines, colored, and include enough objects to satisfy the prompt.



Lvl 1 prompt: you visit your villager, in their home, for the first time. What happens? How does it go? Draw or describe.
Reward: red leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 2 prompt: you chat with your villager to learn three facts about them. What do you learn? Draw or describe.
Reward: your choice of Bell Voucher or Tailors Ticket and 1 bell coin


Lvl 3 prompt: you invite your villager to join you for an activity. What is it and how does it go? Draw or describe.
Reward: orange leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 4 prompt: your villager is sick. How do you care for them? Draw or describe.
Reward: yellow leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 5 prompt: you gift your villager 1 item. What is it and how do they like it? Draw or describe (must use 1 Bell Voucher or Tailors Ticket)
Reward: green leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 6 prompt: your relationship hits a snag. What is the issue and how do you work it out? Draw or describe.
Reward: blue leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 7 prompt: you redecorate your villager's home at their request. What does the new digs look like? Do they like it? Draw or describe.
Reward: purple leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 8 prompt: it is your villager's birthday. How do you celebrate them? Draw or describe.
Reward: pink leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 9 prompt: your villager invites someone special to them to live on your island. Who is it and what is their relationship? (Must use 1 Nook Miles Ticket)
Reward: gold leaf badge and 1 bell coin


Lvl 10 prompt: you and your villager are close. You want to show appreciation for your friendship. How do you do it? Draw or describe.
Reward: villager photo (1 art piece of your villager, drawn by a staff member) and 1 Nook Miles Ticket
