Harvest Contest Walkthrough
1 Talk to Sakaki to start the contest.
2 Talk to Sakaki again to submit a crop.

Talk to Sakaki to Start the Contest

Go to the God Shrine at Spring Village between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM and talk to Sakaki. There will be a lot of people in front of the shrine, so you may want to pass through the back or go around the crowd.

If you do not talk to Sakaki before 9 AM, the contest will be cancelled automatically.

Talk to Sakaki Again to Submit a Crop

When you're ready to submit the item you've grown, talk to Sakaki again. Your inventory will open, showing all the items that you can enter. Select your desired crop to submit it for the contest. Take note that the item you select will be removed from your inventory.

Ulalaka will then judge your work, and you will be given a score depending on the type of crop you submitted. You have until 7:00 PM to submit your chosen item.

If you want to get first place but aren't sure which of your crops is good enough, make sure to save before submitting your item to Sakaki.

How to Win the Harvest Contest

Best Crops to Submit


Submit a High Level Crop

The items you submit for the Harvest Contest are judged based on the type of crop, their growing time, and their level. In order to win the Harvest Contest, you must submit a crop that has been leveled up.

If you're not submitting a giant, golden, or late game crop, you may need to submit a level 8, 9 or 10 crop in order to get first place.

How to Increase Crop and Seed Levels

Do Not Submit Turnips

Since Turnips are the easiest crops to grow, they don't give many points even at high levels. Crops with short growing times also provide less points. It's best to select a crop with a longer growing time or one that is only unlocked later on in the game such as Pineapples and Pink Melons.

Submit a Giant Crop

If you submit a giant crop that is at least level 2, you will most likely win the contest. Giant crops give a large amount of points because of their rarity.

Make sure you check your Shipping Shed every day in case your villagers harvest giant crops without your knowledge.

How to Grow Giant Crops

Submit a Golden Crop

Golden crops are difficult to find, so they also provide a large amount of points. You will still need to level it up if you want to get 1st place.
