Hey Poptropicans!
The #PoptropicaArt contestย (details here!) continues on in full swing, and just recently on the Creators’ Blog, Skinny Moon posted the second round of finalists, this time pulling entries from Facebook. (The first round of finalists can be viewed here.)
Among the entries, we see works by Orange Monster, Mia G., Yuan V., Kayla V., threeย pieces by Maryann P., and three more by Tiger35767. Congratulations to the artists! Check out the art below!
Don’t worry if your art hasn’t been featured yet – Poptropica promises to feature lots more art over the upcoming weeks. For the next round of finalists, they’ll be looking to Instagram!
There’s still plenty of time left to create something for the contest, which ends September 5th. To enter, just post your art on either Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram with the hashtag #PoptropicaArt (or ask an adult or another Poptropican if you don’t have access to any). Full contest rules are here.

I’d also like to mention a quick site update – you may recall earlier when we implemented some fun updates to the PHB. Unfortunately, some of these have had to go – but perhaps not completely!
While the new features were generally well received, there were unfortunately a few technical difficulties regarding the change that have led to usย recently switching back to WordPress.com, our original server. As a result, we’ve had to let go of a few features (such as the Art gallery and Forums) because they’re not supported on WP.com.
Although we’re sad to see them go, we hope you enjoyed them while they lasted. If you did, then we have a couple of recommendations forย you: the We-Love-Poptropica DeviantArt group is where the art comes from, and it’s a community full of Poptropica fan artists, including many of the PHB staff!
Also, if you liked the forums, we hope you’ll check out and participate in our PoptropicaHelp subreddit, where you can submit all sorts of Poptropica things (art, theories, stories, the list goes on!) and share your thoughts on topics started by other Poptropicans. We even recently added flairs for you to show off your tribe allegiance! It’s quick and easy to get started with a Reddit account.

Speaking of art, here at the PHB we’re also doing a little art contest of our own as part of the Tribal Tournament we have going on this month! Check out this post for more information about the Artistic Athletes round. There’s still time to enter (until August 21), so compete while you have the chance!
Plus, keep an eye out next week for our final Tribal Tournament challenge. ๐
Stay popping, Poptropicans!
Lot’s of great artwork here! Congratulations to the winners! Can’t wait to see more finalists in the future! –Or the results. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Nice art
I really like the hot dog one.
Yeah, I really relish that one. ๐
I knew this would come in handy!
Last time I was this early, I was actually early.
Also, I just wanna say thank you for switching back to WordPress.com. While I’m sad to see the Forums go, I’m relieved that the site never crashes for me anymore and that I don’t have to log in every time I come on.
That’s good to hear! Thanks for bearing with us while that happened. Also, maybe you’ll like the subreddit as a Poptropica forum of sorts. ๐
Yeah…even calling it a forum ‘of sorts’ is a stretch…
Reddit works like a forum, though – whether you call it one depends on what you expect a forum to be.
Is Discord down? When I go to it, it just keeps on loading and I can’t view any messages!
It should be fine now – they were previously having some server issues that resulted in messages being wiped out for a while.
I noticed koi is now back to spencer
cool stuff! I hope i can win…
but first i gotta post…
And back to my bizarre pentagon. I’m so snazzy…
I particularly like the one of Zeus. ๐
I like the one with Black Widow in it… Probably since she’s my second favorite villain though lol
Biarny bard is the best villain
