#PoptropicaArt Final Finalists!

Hello, everyone!

Lucky Joker here, to announce the last group of finalists of the #PoptropicaArt contest!

As announced on the Creators’ Blog, Poptropica has decided to choose yet another group of finalists because of how many great entries there were! They also stated that they were going to be deviating from their original plan by crowning more than three champions. I couldn’t agree with their decisions more, as so many pieces are deserving!

These 10 entries were selected from Twitter. If you haven’t seen the others, go and check out the finalists of round 1, round 2, round 3, round 4 and round 5!

This last group of finalists includes the works of Colette L., Crafty Poptropican, dictator crossing, DSFli Jean, Massive Bird, Shaky Skunk, Written Ghost and the PHB’s very own Brave Tomato (with two entries) and Slanted Fish! Here they are:

Like the Poptropica Creators said – so many great entries, right?! Congratulations to all of the #PoptropicaArt contest finalists, you all did an amazing job! Also a big high-five to all of the participants for trying. There were so many entries to choose from, so don’t feel bad if yours didn’t make it.

Stay tuned to the PHB and Creators’ Blog for the announcing of the winners!

In other news, Mitch Krpata, author of Poptropica: The Lost Expedition, will be attending this year’s Annual Festival of Children’s Books and Authors in Rhode Island – where he will be giving a presentation pertaining to his work and life. He will also be doing a book signing!

For those of you who are interested, get more details here! See you next time!

Hiya, Silver Wolf here, with more updates on the #PoptropicaArt contest finalists!

If you’ve been keeping up with news recently, then you would know that the Creators announced an extra round of finalists – and now they’ve announced another round coming up, because there were so many great entries! Next time there will be 10 from Twitter, and today’s round is from Facebook.

If you haven’t seen all of the finalists, make sure to visit round 1, round 2, round 3, and round 4.

If you haven’t seen all of the finalists, make sure to visit round 1, round 2, round 3, and round 4.

Congrats to Creepy Goose, thiswarriorisagirl, Theo, Ilkyoung K., and Maryann P. for all making it to the finals! I really like the colors Creepy Goose and Maryann P. used, and the mood of thiswarriorisagirl’s is perfect, but I also love how imaginative Theo’s is and Ilkyoung’s great drawings of Poptropica characters.

What do you think? With how awesome these are, I can’t wait to see the next batch from Twitter!

Thanks again to Silver Wolf for her guest posting appearance on the PHB!

In other Poptropica news, Mitch Krpata, author of Poptropica: The Lost Expedition, was at Blue Bunny Books in Dedham, MA this Saturday, and here is a tweet from the bookstore with some pictures!

Looks like it was a fun event! Stay popping, Poptropicans!
