✨ The Poppies 2026! 🦸

If you’re new here, welcome to our yearly super cool event called: The Poppies! This is our annual community awards event. During the month of July, the Poptropica fandom (that includes YOU!) nominates, votes, and finally, celebrates the winners of our awards categories! It truly is a fun time for all members of this community to get together and celebrate this game we know and love, and the fandom built around it.

This year, we have 10 categories! You can make up to 3 nominations in each category of whomever or whatever you think deserves the crown for that title. 👑 Nominations are open now until July 8, so tell yourself and your friends to get your suggestions in soon!

🏝 Poptropica Awards ✨

🦸Best Superhero Character: There are many superhero characters throughout the Poptropica islands. From PoptropiCon’s Mighty Action Force to the cast of Super Power Island, and all those heroes in-between, which vibrant vigilante has your heart?

⚡️Most Enjoyable Power-Up Item: You can purchase them at shops, earn them during your adventures, or even snatch them along with an outfit. Power-Up items can include Poseidon’s trident, Arabian Night’s Smoke Bombs, or Electrify from the store! All of them are enjoyable to some degree, but what’s the best of them all?

🌈 Most Magical Character: We’ve got wizards. We’ve got Greek gods. We’ve even got genies! Many magical icons roam the islands of Poptropica, using their magical powers to bring chaos or help the player. Which one is the most powerful, the most whimsical, and overall the most MAGICAL character there is?

💀 Worst Island to Reside In: Last year, we had the category “Best Island to Reside In”, but this year we’ve flipped it around. There can be many uncomfortable and dangerous locations in Poptropica that might be ok for a short trip, but actually living there would be incredibly inconvenient. What will it be?

🎭 Favorite Duo/Team: From the Mystery of the Map trio to Timmy and Total from Timmy Failure Island, there’s endless representation of teamwork and friendship throughout Poptropica. Which one lights your world the MOST?

✨ Community Awards 🎮

✏️ Best Guest Post of The Year: Here at the PHB, we’ve featured lots of posts from lovely folks who aren’t part of our core team. Now is a great time to highlight those contributions and nominate the amazing works of Poptropica fans! Check out guest posts here! (Anything published on/after July 2025 is eligible.)

📚 Favorite Poptropica Fanfiction of All Time: As a fandom does, we write fanfiction. Lots of it. Alternate universes, fresh perspectives, extended lore, original characters, and more! Throughout the years, a lot of epic tales shine in glory, but which one is the favorite of all time?

🧐 Most Likely Conspiracy: Poptropica has a lot of mystery behind its game lore. With the mystery comes questions, and with the questions come some bright minds with hypothetical answers! Out of all the hot takes ever thrown out into the world, which conspiracy remains to be the absolute most likely to be true?

🎨 Best Fan Art of the Year: Poptropica fan art is such eye-candy, but which tastiest artwork takes the cake? You can find fan art on our PHC Discord server, Tumblr, and other social media platforms with a hashtag for Poptropica. Good luck, and special shout-out to all the artists who take the time to make fan art of our lovely game! (Anything published on/after July 2025 is eligible.)

💕 Favorite Ship: There are many romantic relationships throughout Poptropica. Some are canon, and some… aren’t… but just because it’s not official, doesn’t mean it can’t be adorable! Whether in the game, or just in fan art, what ship pulls at your heartstrings the most?

Thank you, Poptropicans, for reading!
