Other Previous Badges on the NaNoWriMo website

Badges are small icons displayed on a NaNoWriMo Wrimo's profile, as well as the NaNoWriMo dashboard. There were three types of badges: participation badges, writing badges, and personal achievement badges.

These badges appear on the Wrimo's project. They previously appeared on the NaNoWriMo dashboard from their year of introduction through September 2019, when a new NaNoWriMo website design launched.

Participation Badges

Participation badges appeared on the NaNoWriMo dashboard in 2013. They were updated in 2014. Participation badges were not reintroduced in the NaNoWriMo website redesign of 2019.

The most recent Participation Badges included:

	You sure told us (about yourself)	earned after filling out the author info area
	You've joined your local community	earned after joining a NaNoWriMo region
	You're buddied up	earned after adding a Writing buddy
	You're conversating	earned after making a post on the NaNoWriMo forums
	You're a donor	earned after donating to NaNoWriMo

Winner and Participant Badges

Note: These badges were not reintroduced in the NaNoWriMo website redesign of 2019. These are different from the participant and winner icons that Wrimos can display online.

Winner and participant badges show which past years a Wrimo has participated in NaNoWriMo. These badges are displayed on the Wrimo's Author Info. A blue badge indicates participation in the given year, while a purple badges indicates the participant won NaNoWriMo that year.

Wrimos can add these badges to their profile by entering their novel info for that year and marking a win date for years won.

A halo appeared over the years that the participant donated to NaNoWriMo. However, halos earned for MLing or forum moderation in previous years do not appear.
