Note that there is a new Farm Beauty Contest as well. The theme for that is 'School Musical'. I usually write about it in detail in a separate post but have included it this time at the end of this one. The Classroom Base is featured so make certain that if you have it from last year, you place it on your Farm BEFORE you take your Snapshot for the Contest.
The Classroom Base is being sold in the Market and the materials can be purchased in the various Mystery Mystron Shops. Colourful Flags in Blue Mystron Shop, Classroom Door in Red Mystron Shop, Chalkboard in Green Mystron Shop and Blue Wall in Yellow Mystron Shop. You only can have one Classroom Base on your Farm.
Tips for maximising your Farm for the Contest as well as a list of all Theme items and where to obtain them are included after the Quest information.
I have added a section about your Farm Birthday celebrations as well as one that deals with the 'To Do List' even though the latter is not really a new option.
Strategy Tips:

Your Farm's Birthday
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If you look at the Chat ever, you may see an occasional notice from a farmer to the effect that it is his or her Farm's birthday and an invitation to visit. When you visit, you will see the icon of a cupcake to the right of the farm name. Tap on that to see a list of gifts that you can send to the farmer. Each of these Gifts, like Buddy Gifts, has a different price. Some can cost 10 RC. Others have a coin cost. Whatever the price of the Gift, however, the Reward you receive always is the same: 1000 Coins and 5 Blue Mystrons.
There is a limit to the number of each Gift that can be sent. For the ones that cost 6000 Coins, the limit is 30 of each. The Gifts are Organic Fertiliser and Watering Cans. For 30000 Coins, you can send a Balloon Gate. There is a limit of 3 on the Balloon Gate.
It may appear to be a kindness when a farmer instantly sends 30 Organic Fertilisers, 30 Watering Cans and 3 Balloon Gates to a Farm that is celebrating its birthday but the sender is receiving 303 Blue Mystrons for doing this. It would not matter were it not for the fact that other Farmers now cannot benefit at all unless they are willing to spend TC or RC.
For Farmers who have not experienced any of this, my cousin sent me screenshots:
The Love Cake Producer is a Collectable which means that it produces a few Love Cakes every 3 hours. The special avatar frame is applied automatically to your Avatar.
Here is the gift list and the Reward for sending any gift:
School Musical Farm Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The rules of the Farm Beauty Contest are fairly constant although totals in terms of the number of Machines and Animals needed to obtain maximum Votes for those categories have changed a few times.
The key to these Contests is variety for the most part. You need different types of Crops, Trees, Animals and Machines on your farm.
With the addition of 'paths' and Landscape Points, the category of Landscape replaced
If, however, you have at least 12 DIFFERENT Animals and 12 DIFFERENT Machines, you definitely should obtain maximum Votes. For Crops, have 16 DIFFERENT Crops on your farm. They need not be mature, but your snapshot will be more attractive if they are! As far as Trees are concerned, most players always have at least 16 different Trees on their farms as you need to harvest repeatedly from all Trees for ingredients. It is possible that you need fewer for the maximum in the Tree category for Votes but I always have 16 different Crops and 16 different Trees on my farm when I take my 'snapshot' for the Contest.
You need a total of 4000 Votes to obtain the little Decoration that is a reward and a total of 6000 Votes to obtain the special Avatar. The Decoration is far more important as it can be featured again in another Farm Beauty Contest in the future and gives a Gold Cleaning Box usually when cleaned. The Avatar on the other hand is simply cosmetic. Although the last couple of rewards include small amounts of RC, it is the Decoration that really matters, especially for low level farmers.
Now, if you are a low level farmer, I do urge you to purchase the new Decorations that are given an added value in terms of Theme Votes. The 'Farm Beauty Contests' really are not about beauty nor even true popularity. They are a way for the developers of this game to generate income by releasing new Decorations in the chosen theme. There always are a couple of new Decorations that are worth more than any others where theme is concerned. In this case, it is the Sheep Singer, now available and worth 3 Votes daily from each of the 3 Characters that give Votes for Theme and the Hippo Singer, not yet available but worth 2 Votes daily from each of the 3 Characters who gives Votes for theme. If you have maximum Votes for theme, you will not receive the bonus but if you are a low level farmer who has not played long enough to obtain all the Theme Decorations from the past, buying the one that gives you a maximum of 9 more Votes per day for Theme is an excellent solution. Furthermore, this Decoration always gives the coveted Blue Box when cleaned by a neighbour. At present, only the Sheep Singer can be purchased from the special Sales offers. The Hippo Singer should be added to the sales menu soon, however.
The Sheep Singer as previously indicated, will boost your Theme Vote total by 9 Votes per day if you do not have maximum Votes for theme. It gives a Blue Box when cleaned. Finally, the Sheep Singer will give you 5 Blue Mystrons each day when cleaned for 7 days, which means that you will gain 35 Blue Mystrons. Blue Mystrons can be used to purchase other Decorations from the past using the Gallery menu.
Landscape Points
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Landscape is a category now in the form of 'beautiful paths with high landscape points'. Originally, this was 'Charm' but Charm and Landscape have been combined now. I never computed the precise number of landscape points needed for maximum votes from three of the four characters but if you have a total of 2300 Landscape Points, it should be sufficient for 24/24 maximum.
Expansions
xxxxxxxxx
Expansions are another category that gives votes from three of the Characters. You do not need many Farm Expansions to receive maximum of 16/16. My farms were expanded before the Farm Beauty Contests began but other low level players have confirmed that you only need a couple of the expansions to obtain maximum votes for this category.
Gallery
xxxxxx
Gallery is another category. Now that you can register Crops, Pets and Flowers from the Botanic Garden, even lower level players should be able to increase Gallery points for maximum here.
Votes are based on the totals of the items you have registered. Your Gallery 'upgrades' at specific totals.
High Level Farm
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There are Character votes for a 'high level' farm. I have not achieved the maximum on Harvest Moon FDC yet because I believe you have to be at Level 150 now for this. At Level 70, you will have 8/16. At Level 109, Harvest Moon FDC gets only 11/16 I believe.
Theme List
xxxxxxxxxx
The Theme List is found by tapping on the little golden book icon on the right side of the Farm Beauty Contest Menu. It usually will include a couple of items that you cannot obtain now if you do not have them from the past. It does include one or two items that can be found in the regular Market and purchased with coins. It usually includes either a new Base or a Base from the past. In this case, it features the Classroom Base from last year. It includes Decorations that were given in the past as Rewards for completing timed Missions but that now often can be found by spinning the Lucky Wheel or going to a Buddy's Share Box. Finally, it includes 'premium' Decorations that only can be obtained EVER through a Special Sale Offer.

To Do List
xxxxxxxxx
This is not a new option but I did not cover it initially when it was added to an update because it did not work for my device and I did not see any particular use for a simple LIST of items I needed to make or produce. In fact, on a device where the option WORKS, it can be quite useful. For example, if you are on the Island and need to cook or produce any items on Seaside for one of the helicopter orders, you can add the items to your To Do List. There is a limit of 20 items by the way. When you return to Seaside, tap on the To Do List (second tab of the menu that is accessed through the exclamation point) and you will see the option to 'Cook' or 'Produce' the item in question. Once you have completed the task, the item will be removed from the list.w
