End of Press Release
The little note to the effect that the Tree of Tranquility Guide was written by Freyashawk is NOT part of the official press release, by the way. I wish I were more talented at drawing. I dearly would love to make a successful entry. Too bad there is no contest for stories about Harvest Moon. In any case, I urge all fans of Harvest Moon to enter this wonderful Contest.
The photograph posted here shows one of the items that the winner will receive. It's a DS Lite Kit created in honour of the 10th Anniversary of Harvest Moon. I believe it is available for purchase as of today at Amazon and Gamestop and other retail outlets. According to the description of the kit, it includes the Protection case for the DS itself, 3 Harvest Moon game cases for DS cartridges, 12 interchangeable and customisable graphics featuring Harvest Moon characters, a Harvest Moon stylus with enhanced grip and a '2 in 1 wrist strap and screen wiper'.
Apart from the Strategy Guides and the DS Lite Kit, the two very special Harvest Moon plush animals the winner will receive is further motivation to enter the Contest. Show your support of Natsume and Harvest Moon!

That's nice. =)
I entered and I'm so excited! I sent it a bit on the late side though, so I'm hoping they got it on time. Oh, and thanks for posting the date the results are shown, I hadn't seen that anywhere else.

Good luck to every one who entered! If you do not win, however, you can purchase the Harvest Moon DS Lite Starter Kit from many different outlets. I definitely would like to have one of those.
