PHB’s 8th Annual Autumnal-Halloween Contest!

8thhallo-phb

This contest is now CLOSED. Check out our announcement of winners here!

Boo, Poptropicans! Fall is here, and that means Halloween is not far behind!

Even if you don’t live in a region that experiences a season of leaves changing color, pumpkin pie, and jack-o-lanterns (or if it’s spring where you are), the only thing you’ve got to fear are the Halloween costumes of your fellow Poptropicans – because here on the PHB, for the 8th year in a row, we’re continuing our tradition of throwing a costume contest in October!

This year, in addition to the Halloween theme, we’re adding another theme: the season of fall itself! You can choose to participate in both (or one, or neither, as you wish).

Traditionally, Poptropicans submit their best Poptropica Halloween (and now, also autumn/fall) costumes in the comments section by giving an Avatar Studio link and/or posting their username. Keep in mind the following tips:

  • Be original! Mix and match to create your own unique costume(s).
  • There are some great Halloween costume parts at the ghoul gathering from the end of the Haunted House quest from the Store, as well as the collection of free costumes in the Store, but be creative and search in other places too! As for autumn, look for the colors of fall, like red, orange, yellow, and brown.
  • Keep your costume intact until after the winners are announced, or we may not see it! If you don’t want to keep the costume on your main account, create a new one and post that instead.
  • To post your entry, go to the Avatar Studio, type in your username, click Load, click on the Link to highlight it, right-click and choose Copy, go to the comments section on this post, right-click and choose Paste, type in your comment and submit so we can view your costume by clicking the link! Name your costume and post the username if you want.

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO: On Halloween (October 31st), we’ll make a post featuring the winning costumes, plus they will also be immortalized on the PHB’s Costumes page, where you can also see examples of past winners. We’ll have 10 winners for the costume portion – 5 fall fashions, and 5 Halloween hauntings.

You may send in multiple entries (as many as you like), but note that each person can only win a maximum of one time. Please remember to use a different account for every entry, as otherwise we will only see the last costume you put on.

UPDATE: Poptropica has graciously offered to sponsor this PHB contest by giving a one-month membership to each of the 10 winners! Now you have to enter, right? 😉

But wait, there’s more…

    1. Well, Poptropica has generously offered to sponsor our contest by giving a one-month membership to each of the 10 winners, so there’s that! And of course, winning costumes will be featured on the front page and our Costumes page. 😀

      1. Sorry but, the blue hair is kind of my signature, and of course I’m gonna send in more entries. I simply linked this one because it’s my costume for halloween.

        And, after all, I didn’t realize I was linking my first entry for it to be critiqued by other community Poptropicans. My mistake, sorry.

  1. *after some googling*

    Right…let’s-a-go!
    My other entries are:
    The Ghostly Singer

    The Crazed Carnival Killer:

    The veteran ghost (first on the left):

    The african ghost warrior(first on the left):

    And finally,the FALLen (get it?) warrior(last on the right):

  2. Happy October, everyone! I’m looking forward to all your costumes and fall-weather outfits! 😄
    – The Tomato of Liberty 🗽

  3. I forgot that they did this! Correction, i wasn’t aware that aware that they did this. i stalked the blog in october last year, but didn’t see this. Right. i’ll add it to my list. *pulls out list* Let’s see… “Finish Monkey Wrench Story,” “take over the world through Webcomics”… “Buy candy for self” Ah, an empty spot. Tell you when i’ve got a costume then!

    1. By the way what do you do if the costume you want on the asg glitching page is for a boy and you don’t want it to change your gender?

  4. I would suggest downloading the iPop tool. It’s safe and makes it much easier to customize when getting various items. It’s quite handy.

  5. I would join in on the costume contest… but I’m lazy and know I have lots of stuff to do that I’m doing for the community. I would join in if I could.

    -Vampirito (I’m going as Kirito from Sword Art Online for Halloween… hopefully.)

      1. Hey, when you’re an anime fan, ya gotta go as an anime character. Which also makes me remember my girlfriend said she was going to an anime convention and cosplaying as Misa Amane from the anime Death Note, which she’s gonna look EPIC.

    1. Hey SD! Like time no see! 😉 Anyways I am just wondering if we can enter more than one entries. And do we say which categories they are from or does the PHB decide that? Thanks! 😀

      1. You can submit as many entries as you like, but only a maximum of one costume per person can win. Also, you’re welcome to state which category you’re entering in, but if not, it’s fine – they should be pretty determinable from the costumes. 😛

  6. Loving the new header! Shame it wasn’t drawn like the previous one, but I guess that would have taken a lot of work. 😛

    Anyway, I’m definitely looking forward to this contest. It’s rather the 8th Annual Spring Halloween Contest for me, hence living in the Southern Hemisphere, but oh well. XD

  13. hey, please don’t ignore me, slanted Fish. I’d like to know, for the winners of this year’s costumes, will they get MEMBERSHIPS PAID BY THE PHB, 6, 3, and 1 month ones to first, second and third? thank you ^^ and please reply.

  14. I want to make an MPIP, do I leave a link in the comment to contact you?
    Also I might make my own blog about poptropica, if so please read, I’ll post later if it goes through. By the way, I am a poptropica super-fan, but also the PHB staff is amazing and they inspired me (especially Ylimegirl, Slanted fish, and UIPE) to start commenting and become apart of the poptropica community and get more to play poptropica (8 to be exact) also sorry for extreme posting 🙂 #best blog ever #poptropica life

      1. Hmm great suggestion. I actually went to but there was some problem and I couldn’t add it. I hadn’t bought it for that account so when I went to try it wouldn’t buy. I’ll continue to try though! Thanks!

    1. Hey there – these are the same costume. Note that the link is the same – we need to see the costume stay on the account, so if you change the costume of an account, the link will show the latest costume you’ve got on. You may want to have separate accounts if you’re entering multiple times. 😉

  15. This is so cool!! I’ll be entering more later probably. I just really hope I win since I’ll be losing my membership soon.
    Here is my Fall fashion: http://www.poptropica.com/avatarstudio/avatar.html?a=bdmJiZ0RTYldsemMyWnZlSGx6WVhWalpRPT0%3D
