Hello, everyone!
It’s Lucky Joker here bringing you some poptastic news regarding the #MyPoptropicaCostume contest!
Yes, it’s the announcement we’ve been waiting for – Just a little while ago, the two grand prize winners, along with 20 runner-ups (which I’ll talk about later), have been announced on the Creators’ Blog! There were over 750 costume entries submitted, but in the end it was Creepy Peanut’s “Ocean Princess” and Speedy Toes’ “Hip Hop Boy” costumes that took the grand prize!
As promised, each of their costumes will be created by Poptropica, sold in the store for a limited time and worn by an NPC on Home Island. Additionally, they will each receive a free 6-month membership. Now onto the voting information!
Again, 20 runner-ups have been chosen by Poptropica, and now the ones that become real costumes are up to us! Vote for 10 of your favorite costumes and make sure to do so before February 7, midnight ET over on the Creators’ Blog.
Each of the ten runner-ups will win a free 3-month membership and also have their costume sold in the Poptropica Store for a limited time later this year! (Hey, that’s what they said about New Poptropica too…)
As seen in the collage above, the runner-ups are, in order from left to right, top row to bottom row:
- “Witch and Wizard” by Young Heart
- “Cyborg” by White Coyote
- “Watermelon Threads” by Shiny Penguin
- “Winter Explorer” by Maroon Ring
- “Elven Chic” by Little Ghost
- “The Hipster” by Slanted Fish (the PHB’s very own founder!) *
- “Elemental Beasts” by Red Paw
- “Jazz Musician” by Perfect Sky (a PHB staffer!)
- “Diwali Inspired” by Lucky Joker (another PHB staffer – yours truly!)
- “The Dreamer” by Friendly Kid
- “Starlight Dress” by Mystery Poptropican
- “Mad Scientist” by Invisible Biker (one of two!)
- “Skater Pro” by Golden Berry
- “Gamer Chic” by Fearless Dragon
- “Cyber Angel” by Bashful Sword
- “Fire Flier” by Invisible Wing
- “Sports Vendor” by Fast Lizard
- “Rainbow Unicorn” by Cool Sword
- “Psychedelic Steampunk” by Bronze Fire
- “Celestial Mage” by Invisible Biker (congrats on placing twice!)
*Side note and update: “The Hipster” replaced an earlier runner-up, “Technology Girl” by Tall Hero, after it was pointed out to Poptropica that it was not an original drawn/invented costume. They decided to disqualify and replace it.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go on the Creators’ Blog and vote today!
Thanks for reading, I’ll talk to you soon. Pop on!

First and great stuff!!
Kudos to the winners and congrats to the runner-ups especially you Lucky Joker. The minute I saw those Diwali duds I just knew you had the contest in the bag. I thought I had a good chance of one of my outfits being made but after seeing some of the runner-ups’ art they clearly deserve it more.
Aw shucks, that’s very nice of you. I’m sure your costumes were great too!
Kinda disappointed I didn’t win of course, but I do really like all the costumes that did win! Congrats to those submissions, the contest was really fun! 😀
I’m looking forward to seeing the mermaid costume in the store. It looks beautiful!
Congratulations to the winners, and to the PHB authors, LJ and PS! 😁
Congrats to all the winners and runner-ups, and to the Creators for finally narrowing it all down! (I know, it’s a hard task. 😛 )
If anyone is interested in seeing my entries (which did not win, but that’s okay), check out the links below, which lead to my DeviantArt postings:

The Hipster – http://fav.me/dap1lq2
Also, maybe the Ocean Princess shouldn’t have feet? I do like the costume, though. 😉
Shamelessly posting my losing entry here. They are costumes that represent the four seasons.
Though it was not selected, I’d say this is a pretty cool concept, so nice work, Hyper Gamer! 🙂
Well, after the “Technology Girl” scandal (see tweet below), I should mention make an amendment to my earlier statement. Poptropica decided to put one of my entries (The Hipster) onto the list of runner-ups!
That Cyber Angel had my vote since its Twitter debut but the Elemental Beasts aren’t far behind
Congrats to those who won!👍
For a limted time nooooooooo~ But this good for the glitchers am I right? 🙂
hey LJ, where are you frm? so nice of u to take this festival’s outfits as your topic!!!
I’m a born and raised American, but I chose Diwali as inspiration because I wanted to touch on a culture that hasn’t been represented in Poptropica yet. Plus, I really love all of the bright and colorful clothing worn on the holiday. 🙂
I’m not a big fan of all the pollution and noise that undergoes on that day. I read an article a few months ago that firework companies aren’t getting as many sales as they used to. I didn’t even know that y’all knew about this.
Of course,this doesn’t mean I’m Indian. Just….I know about it. Okay?
well u know what? I celebrate diwali…
