Just a small announcement to update you guys on what's going on so far. As most of you know by now, Birthweek is held every month of June to celebrate FFF's birthday. This year we are starting Birthweek on June 1st. Expect a number of familiar contests, some new and old hosted by our staff members! Just to name a few:
-Site Banner Competition
-Photography Contest
-Kill the Monster
-Caricature Contest
And many more! Can't spoil some of the new ones!
By joining or participating in as many competitions as possible, you will earn Birthweek Points (BWP). This is not a new currency system. Think of it as a new novelty for Birthweek. The more BWP you earn during the whole event (Birthweek ends on June 30th) the higher chances of winning the title "Birthweek Champ" ...or something to that effect.
Again, the setup above only applies for the highest accumulated BWP towards the end of the event. For those who play FFXIV (even if you are not part of the site's official Free Company), I am also giving away Gil incentive in the spirit of this communal event!
For the actual competitions, this will be the rundown:
So during the month of June, we are giving you guys the opportunity to earn as much Gil as possible (that normally can be earned slowly by posting/creating threads, etc). Gil earned can also be exchanged for GP by purchasing 'Tickets' in MogShop > Gold Saucer.
Last but not least, FF Awards and the FFF Awards nominations will be back as per usual, so make sure to save the date! If you are new to the whole Birthweek event, here is last year's event: Birthweek 2014
Unfortunately I will be away on vacation for the most part, though I will be here for the first week of June to see this take off. If there are any questions, feel free to use this thread to voice out your input and feedback.
