Participant Icon

Writing a novel in a month takes so much courage that you deserve a medal just for showing up. That is why we are proud to present you with this ornamental decal for you to use on your personal website, your bathroom mirror, your résumé—wherever you like.

Please do not link directly to the image on the nanowrimo.org site.
Please download a copy of this image and place it on your webserver for your own use.

This year we also have some icons for libraries and other NaNoWriMo friendly areas, both on and offline:

Most web browsers have a Save Image or Save Picture feature: PC users can right-click on the image to bring up a menu, and Mac users can just hold down the mouse button over the image. Downloading your own copy to use on your web site instead of linking it directly off our servers will save us a boodle in web service fees, and we can use all the boodles we can get.

Once you've downloaded the file and put it somewhere on your webserver, you can use HTML such as the following to include it on your pages:

This HTML example will only work if you replace with the path and filename of the downloaded icon file. If you saved the image to a different directory on your webserver, you'll have to modify the HTML to point to the correct location.

You can link back to us (as the example code does), or you can use it to link to your novel in progress. It's up to you.

And if you think the decals you get as a NaNoWriMo participant are snazzy, just wait until you cross the finish line...
