The Bell Tree Fair is back! It's been two years since our last edition and we hope you are excited about its return. As usual we have done our best to prepare several activities and a theme since every TBT Fair has one - this time that theme is a Birthday Party to celebrate TBT's 20th birthday! For the first half of this TBT Fair, our activities will be themed around preparing for our party so that we can thoroughly enjoy it in the last weeks.
If you're new, The Bell Tree Fair is our biggest event series, which lasts for four weeks. You'll perform various tasks in events and contests. Those tasks earn you tickets, which you can spend on prizes. This year, these prizes include both some new collectibles and we're also bringing back older ones for you to obtain!
Participate in Events and Contests to Earn Tickets
In this new forum section dedicated to the TBT Fair 2024, you'll see the Fairgrounds board for general threads, the Carousel of Contests board for contests, and the Event Pavilion board for events. Contests and events contain the tasks that allow you to earn tickets in various ways. We're staggering the start times of many events, so don't feel like you have to jump into everything at once.
Events
Events are what we call our participation-based activities, which can be found in the Event Pavilion board. These activities have been designed to be more accessible to everyone, with less emphasis on skill level. You will be rewarded simply for taking part. Everyone wins something! Some events also award extra tickets to the entries selected as the Staff Favorites: these are entries that the staff have internally judged as the best of the best. Events open and close at different times. Many also contain multiple rounds. See the event threads or the calendar thread for more details.
Contests
Contests are more competitive activities, which can be found in the Carousel of Contests board. They are skill-based and the participants usually take them very seriously. As with events, anyone who puts forth an effort will earn tickets, but the contest entries are judged and voted on by the community with large sums of tickets and exclusive collectibles offered to the top three winners of each contest.
During the Fair, we'll use the EDT timezone when listing important times. We'll also refer to EDT as "Fair Time" because it's the consistent time used across the entire event. You can check out the timetable for all of our events and contests over at the Participation Tracker, Calendar, and Alerts Thread. Also, click the "watch" button on this thread to receive alerts when we post updates.Spend Tickets on Prizes
Once you've earned tickets, you can spend them on a large variety of different prizes in the forum shop, including forum collectibles and physical prizes. See the Prize Booth thread for the full list of prizes and their descriptions.
We hope you have a fun time over these next four weeks and good luck! If you have any questions, we also have an FAQ thread for the event.
