Before we get too caught up in the excitement of the Closing Ceremony, we want to take the time to do a little bit of housekeeping. There is some overlap in winners in certain events, for example multi-round events such as Forest of the Lustrous and Whimsical Wardrobe. In these instances, we have increased the original number of winners we were going to award per event (originally three per round in three-round events) to ensure more unique winners overall. This means that we have increased the amount of winners per event in order to ensure that a higher number of unique users will receive an animated Enchanted Bloom collectible. This also means that in some places there may be an inconsistency in the number of winners per round/event, because we didn't need to do this for every event. We spent a lot of time discussing how we wanted to handle this and feel that this was the fairest and most satisfactory way we could do it.
Are we good? Grand. Onto what you came here for!
Collectible & Ticket Distribution and Fair Shop Closure
The animated Enchanted Bloom, Heart of the Forest, and trophy collectibles will be going out alongside the contest winner and staff favourite ticket distribution are scheduled to go out late in the day on Sunday, 25th September 2022. Oh, that's today by the way!
The Bell Tree Fair Shop will be closing on Saturday 1st October 2022 at 9PM EDT (aka Fair Time). After this point there will be no further opportunity to spend your tickets. Tickets do not carry over into future events so any that are not spent will be considered lost. Do make sure you have finished checking out all shop purchases by this time.
One-Ticket Raffles
Leftover tickets? We have a solution! On September 23rd, we added three new raffles to the The Shop. Each of these raffles only costs 1 Ticket to enter and tickets are still on sale now.
Raffle #1: Mushroom Lamp Collectible Set
If you put a crystal and a mushroom in front of a dragon, they would pick the crystal. Can you blame them? Most of us are drawn to shiny things! If you opted to put your tickets into crystals, then you will be pleased to hear that this is your chance to walk away with the entire mushroom lamp collectible set! We are only giving away two sets of these luminous fungi (really, it is quite irresponsible we are giving away any at all!) - who will be the two to walk away with five rare collectibles for the cost of a single ticket?
Raffle #2: Butterfly Spirit Raffle
Look, up in the sky! Sparkly things - with wings! Our majestic Butterfly Spirit collectibles will look fantastic alongside your Enchanted Butterfly Wand. We are giving away five of these Butterfly Spirits. Five users will win their choice of either a blue Glowing Butterfly Spirit collectible or a purple Gleaming Butterfly Spirit collectible.
Raffle #3: Enchanted Bloom Collectible
Take a minute to watch that transition through to the end. We'll wait.
When you scroll to the end of this list, some of you will be disappointed to find that you weren't one of our lucky winners of an animated Enchanted Bloom collectible. This is the raffle for you! For one ticket per entry, you will have one last chance to earn this coveted collectible! We will be awarding only one of these so cross your fingers for good luck! Note that if you have already earned an animated Enchanted Bloom collectible in one of our events then you are not eligible to win this raffle. If you have already purchased this raffle ticket before learning that you had earned this collectible in one of our events, you can go into your Inventory and sell it back to get a refund on your ticket(s).
The winners for these three raffles, as well as the Celeste Chick Plush and Nintendo eShop card raffles, will be drawn on Saturday 1st October 2022 at 9PM EDT (aka Fair Time). The winners will be announced the same night.
TBT Fair 2022 Survey
We won't pretend that our events are perfect. They are designed by ordinary people who do this in their free time on a voluntary basis. The development of The Bell Tree Fair 2022 was shaped around feedback we received from the community during The Bell Tree Fair 2020 and Camp Bell Tree 2021 events. We want to make sure that when we next bring back The Bell Tree Fair, estimated to run summer 2024, that it will be even better than this one. This is why we are inviting you to formally submit your feedback to us by taking the official The Bell Tree Fair 2022 Survey. Please submit all feedback via the linked survey rather than posting it here in this thread. We are collecting your responses this way because (a) it ensures your voice will be heard rather than lost in a busy thread, (b) it will make it easier for us to come back and review your feedback in 2024, and (c) we want the focus of our Closing Ceremony to be on celebrating our winners.
On that note, I think it is about time we announce who those people are.
