Announcement: Garden Festival & Booth Applications
Hello everyone! You might have seen some mentions of the Garden Festival before, but here's the official announcement -- ff_land's first ever Garden Festival will be held from August 1st to August 15th at our shiny new events community, ff_eventsquare!
(If you go to that comm, though, it's just a sad and empty place for now, because we're not done setting up yet!)
So what's the Garden Festival? It's basically an excuse to throw a party :D Well, in all seriousness, it's actually so that non-members get a chance to see what it's like in ff_land. Right now the only public communities are ff_land, ff_classchange, and moogle_workshop. But for 15 days, there'll be tons of activities and games running, and everyone is welcome to participate, especially non-members!
Even better; if you've participated and decided that hey, it's a pretty fun thing, maybe I wanna join; you'll get to keep all of the prizes that you've won (in the form of game points)!
And for our current members, the Garden Festival is also a chance for you to run activities!
lightofeilia mentioned the booth system earlier in a post over at airship_lounge, but basically the gist of it is that these activities and games mentioned above will be held in the form of booths/stalls, kind of like at a carnival. So if you have an idea for a booth and want to run it, you can apply at this post. There's also a suggestion thread in the comments if you have an idea but don't particularly want to run a booth.
If you don't have an idea but want to help out anyway, you can brainstorm on other suggestions and fill out a booth application later. If you just want to help out on someone else's booth, there's a helper application you can fill out and post as a reply to an existing booth application.
Booth Application Form

Booth Info: (what's your booth about? "Come in and stampede some chocobos! Prizes to be won!")
Proposed Layout/Setup: (how will you run this? explain briefly. If you don't have an idea, don't worry, I'll try to help, but do your best)
Prizes/Participation: (how many points will you award for winning?)
On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being easy and 5 being difficult), how much work do you think will go into maintaining this booth?:
If you answered 4 or 5 to the above question, would you want a helper to help you out?:

Name of booth you would like to help out in:
Give a few reasons saying how you could help out, assuming you've already read the booth application.
What's the reward for running booths? YOU GET GIL! Yes, shiny gil. Because of this, however, there'll be a limit to the number of booths that are gonna be held, just so that we don't overcrowd. We'll get back to you on the limit as soon as we see how many people are applying.
Schedule
Applications will be closed on July 15th. From July 16th to July 31st, all booth owners will be setting up their booths over at our events community. Then, we'll open the festival on the 1st of August.
Let's get those applications up and running!
Note: The events in ff_eventsquare will be public, so you do not need to join it in order to participate in the Garden Festival. The only people that will be invited to it are those running a stand.
