When does a member deserve a certain badge?

There are several ways in which members may receive official badges. Badges may be earned in various ways, which are explained on the many pages linked below.

What systems do we apply for each badge?

Most badges work with a system of upgrading: the more you do the prettier your badge becomes. Almost every badge has its own system of upgrading.
A common system is to start off with a green badge. The green badge then becomes a coloured one. Coloured badges show upgrades through items being added to the badge.
Other badges don't have a green version at all and start with a coloured badge that can be upgraded to a higher badge.
To see exactly how each badge can be earned you can visit the wikis below:

It is the task of the Elftown crew to hand members the proper badges. Please remember that contest badges are given out when the winner of the contest is announced, not when you enter the contest, or when the contest officially closes. Badging is a complicated task, so please allow the crew time. If, several days after the contest winner has been announced, you still have not had the badge you think you earned, please contact the Council and explain, politely, what the problem is.

If you think you have earned any of the other Elftown badges, and have not been badged, please contact the Council and explain, politely, what badge you think you should have.
