Be sure to include this in the description of your Holiday Hills Submissions!

Dungeon Name: Sandy Beach and/or Night Festival (You can use both or choose one name!)

Character(s)/Team(s): Up to four! You just need to list Character and Team names, no need to list Levels and Team Ranks like you would for normal dungeons! Please be sure to clearly mark cameos and collabs!

⭐ General Dungeon Info ⭐

💚 Like a regular dungeon, the Holiday Hills Dungeon is completed in Feral Form!

💚 There is no Difficulty Level or chance of failure for Holiday Hills!

💚 No levels are gained in this dungeon and no items can be brought in (though Radars can be used after a piece is graded!)

💚 As always, please also mark Collabs and Cameos appropriately so rewards can be distributed!

💚 Recruitment odds are upped in Holiday Hills! You’re more likely to get a recruit offer here than in normal dungeons!

💚 Please note that, for a character to count for Poke/Candy, at bare minimum a full headshot (or equivalent amount of the character) must be visible to count though we always encourage you to do your best! Rules may change if the bare minimum is abused. Please put genuine effort into your pieces and don't spam out rushed work!

🌟 Holiday Hills Event Prompts 🌟

These event prompts are for characters in Human/Gijinka form!
Prompts done with Ferals won’t count for Candy but can be submitted for Poke!

Please be sure to include the Task Name in your description!
These tasks are repeatable for rewards so Attempt Number isn’t required!

01 | Christmas in July Secret Santa Event

It's time for Beyond the Sea's annual Christmas in July gift exchange event! To participate is simple enough-- just fill out the form below with as much information as you can for your recipient to give you exactly what you're looking for in a gift! Be sure to give roughly 2-3 ideas just in case your recipient doesn't or can't do one of your ideas! More rules on what is and isn't allowed can be found on the form itself. 

The sign up period for the Christmas in July Secret Santa will last from July 1st to July 7th (Ending at midnight EST, going into the 8th)!

After that it will take about a day or two to get requests out to everyone! You will have until August 7th to finish your Secret Santa piece and submit it to the "Events" gallery folder on DeviantART! (or alternatively, the "Events" channel on our grading discord) 

If you are unable to complete your gift art for your recipient, please let us know by July 20th at the latest! We will get in contact with a pitch hitter to cover you! If you don't reach out to us and don't complete your gift art, you may be unable to participate in the next secret santa event!

For completing your piece, you'll receive a reward of 500 candy!

A link to the signup form can be found here!

02 | Fun in the Sun!

Tempo has brought with him plenty of fun goodies from the future, including pool floaties, modern day swimsuits, surfboards among other things! Play a round of volleyball with your friends, soak up the sun on a towel, or even go for a swim in the crystal clear water! The sun is hot and the water is cold-- a perfect day to spend at the beach! 

This task is accompanied with a totally optional swimsuit meme! Feel free to fill this out for 300 candy per first completion!

03 | A Mosey Around the Festival

As dusk falls over the beach, it seems a festival is starting up on the hill! Grab some friends and check out the stalls and games! Who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky and win a prize! There's all kinds of food for sale, games to play, and sights to see! The windchimes and hanging lanterns look absolutely beautiful against the night sky! Maybe write a wish on a sheet of paper and hang it on one of the wishing trees-- it may come true! 

You can even set off lanterns into the night sky with your friends or loved ones! It is said that sending off a lantern will fill your life with good luck and prosperity! 

This task is accompanied with a totally optional summer festival meme! Have your character look the part by wearing traditional kimonos, yukatas, and the like!
Feel free to fill this out for 300 candy per first completion!

04 | The Fireworks Show!

As the sun begins to set and the lanterns rise higher and higher into the sky, something else sets the sky ablaze with light! You look up and see the beautiful fireworks display above your head! You'll treasure this view forever ...

This will be an RP event hosted on our discord! Alternatively, members are allowed to do private RPs if they so wish for this prompt!
For this event, please use the "Group Roleplay!" channels provided in the discord! Public RP 1-4 are available for this event, as well as the Public Threads channel!
