10 Years of Poppies: Looking Back 👀🏆

Hello, Poppie-tropicans! 🌟

If you’ve been around for a while, you may know about this beloved tradition here on the Poptropica Help Blog: the Poppies, our annual Poptropica fan awards. Since 2015, we’ve been inviting the community to vote for their top Pop picks every July, marking the PHB’s birthday as well. Time flies, and we’ve now celebrated 10 Poppies! 🥳🔟✨

So we thought we’d take a look back at the past decade of Poppies shenanigans… starting with the Poptropica parties! 🎉🎈At the end of each awards season, we’d always go out with a bang by coming dressed to impress in multiplayer rooms on Poptropica and hanging out on our Discord server, the PHC. Check out the recap photos from over the years!

But there’s more to the picture-perfect memories! Every year, the PHB team would dress up for the Poppies, and one of our team members would create artwork that would serve as the event’s visual for that year. 🖌️🖼️ Enjoy our many designs from the decade! (Click to enlarge.)

Next, taking the Pop art to a whole new level are all the top pieces voted as winners of the annual Best Fan Art award category. 🎨🏆 Feast your eyes on the talent that lies within our fandom — they’re truly incredible!
