NEW MONTHLY COSTUME CONTESTS ARE HERE!

UPDATE: For more info on entering current contests and to see past months' winning designs and player submissions, see below!

 


 

The Creators’ Team is delighted to see all of your enthusiasm and creative ideas that you’ve been sharing with the community lately! In fact, we can’t get enough. You're such a talented bunch, it'd be a shame not to reward such talent and imagination!

 

We’ve had a special project in the works for a while now that’s finally ready to be revealed… Without further ado, ALL Poptropicans are invited to participate in the new monthly costume contests!! 

 

Monthly Costume Contest

 

If you'd like to see YOUR IDEA in the Poptropica store, this is the way to do it! Do you wish you could match your favorite outfit with your Popsona? Do you fantasize about streetwear?  Maybe you’d love to see some goth gear?

 

The art team absolutely loved seeing your costume designs and have nothing but praise for every single one of you! We're so impressed seeing the fantastic effort and response you've put into June's inaugural costume contest -- thank you to everyone that participated!  

 

In the past, our official costume contests were held occasionally. This time, we’re reviving the costume competition to continue on a monthly basis, to give you the opportunity to turn your designs into a reality, visibly contribute to the game itself, and most importantly, share your ideas to millions across the community!

 

Your costume submission should be original!

  • Get creative! Look for inspiration in your favorite looks that you can put your own spin on! From TV/film, your personal wishlist outfits, career uniforms, and celebrity sightings, you can design just about anything! 

 

  • Costumes may also include accessories and special powers.

 

  • While designing your entry, be sure it can be reproduced as a Poptropica Costume. Avoid including tiny details would be hard to recreate and using previous store costumes. Where’s the fun in that?

 

  • You can draw out your costume design on paper or go digital with an iPad or tablet. Pretty much anything goes as long as you can submit a photo or file to us!

 

Each month's costume contest will be open for 2 weeks! Enter your costume creations via our submissions page! Be sure to include your Poptropican’s name and your login username. Please be aware that there is a three entry maximum per person each month. But don't be discouraged if your design wasn't chosen, we've received an incredible amount of creative and unique costume designs, we wish we can choose them all! We highly encourage you to resubmit past design submissions that you're proud of or come up with new costume ideas for each month's contest!

 

Share your costume design on Instagram! Use #MyPoptropicaCostume and tag @poptropicacreators. Don’t hesitate to leave any questions or comments about the costume contest below! Good luck, Poptropicans – can’t wait to see what you put down the runway!

Ready, set, GO! February’s costume contest begins now! ?

Today’s been a busy day full of updates and new arrivals, but it’s not over just yet. Alongside the Baron’s arrival, the beginning of each month is accompanied by the start of another costume contest! Woohoo!

 

Let’s get this show on the road. February’s costume contest begins in 3, 2, 1…

 

You're invited to join Poptropica's monthly costume contests!

 

February’s costume contest is now underway! These monthly contests offer all players (of any skill set) the opportunity to see your dream outfits become a reality in Poptropica! Yep, you heard that right. Your costume idea could be the next design created in-game and shared among millions across the Pop community?

 

February’s costume contest will be open until Wednesday, February 16th at 8pm PST (11pm EST / 10pm CST / 9pm MST / for all other time zones, please use a time zone converter). That’s a little more than two weeks to think of a costume design, draw it out, and enter your outfit ideas in the contest. Don’t be afraid to go all out! The Team loves seeing your imaginations shine! You can illustrate your idea using paper and pencil or create it digitally – any mode you’re comfortable with is fine by us! 

 

Once you’ve finished your costume designs, you can share them with us a few different ways. The simplest way to enter your designs into the contest is by using the submissions page! Be sure to include your Poptropican’s name and your login username with your design. Please be aware that there is a three entry maximum per person each month. 

 

If you’re on social media, you can also share your costume design on Instagram for others to see your idea! Remember to tag us (@poptropicacreators) and use the hashtag #MyPoptropicaCostume – we’ll repost your costume design to our story to share your work! If you post your designs on Instagram, please send us a link to your post through the submissions page!

 


 

To start brainstorming your outfit designs, here’s a few tips!

 

First and foremost, you have free reign over your design! You can opt for island inspired clothing or go in a completely different direction. Are you in love with wacky, mysterious, otherworldly, fantasy, simple, or just downright weird costumes? Are you hoping to see the latest fashion trends?

 

Perhaps you’d like to share your favorite IRL outfit with players? Are you excited by the thought of sharing your costume designs and art on a larger scale? Do you have an eye for streetwear, goth gear, or are you in love with cottage-core clothes? Maybe you have a quirky sense of style that you think others haven’t seen before?

 

Don’t worry if you prefer to march to the beat of your own drum. Creativity and originality are always appreciated!

 

Keep these tips in mind as you’re designing your outfit:

 

  • Your costume submission should be original!
  • Get creative! Look for inspiration in your favorite looks that you can put your own spin on! From TV/film, your personal wishlist outfits, career uniforms, and celebrity sightings, you can design just about anything!
  • Costumes may also include accessories and special powers.
  • While designing your entry, be sure it can be reproduced as a Poptropica Costume. Avoid including tiny details would be hard to recreate and using previous store costumes. Where’s the fun in that?

You’re also more than welcome to resubmit past design submissions or come up with new costume ideas for each month's contest!

 

Good luck, everyone! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the contest, don’t hesitate to drop them below! We can’t wait to see what you dream up! ??

January's Costume Contest Is Now Open!

This week has been full of firsts for Poptropica’s 2023, but we’re not done just yet. Let’s keep the good times coming! January’s costume contest is officially underway! ?

 

After the Airship’s recent Baron-less arrival and 2022 Costume Rewind, it’s time to get back to our regularly scheduled program. Each month, you’re invited to showcase your costume designs and creativity. These monthly contests offer all players – of any skill set – the opportunity to see your dream outfits become a reality in Poptropica! Your costume idea could be the next design created in-game and shared among millions across the Pop community! 

 

January’s costume contest will be open until Wednesday, January 18th at 8pm PT (9pm MT, 10pm CT, 11pm ET – for all other time zones, please use a time zone converter). That’s just about two weeks to think of your costume ideas, draw them out, and enter your designs in the contest. ?

 

Let’s get this show on the road. January’s costume contest begins in 3, 2, 1…

How do you enter?

 

First things first, brainstorm ideas for your costume. Costumes should be original, reproducible and age appropriate. There is also a 3 entry maximum per month.

 

Once you have your outfit ideas, the next step is to draw them out! You can do this on paper or go the digital route. Don’t worry about comparing yourself to the rest of the community. Differences in art skill will not affect your likelihood of being chosen.

 

Go all out with it! The Team loves seeing your imagination and creativity!

 

Once you’ve finished drawing your outfit designs, the final step is to share them with us! The easiest way is to enter through the submissions page. Submit your designs one at a time, but be sure to include your Poptropican’s name and your login username with each entry.

 

If you’re on social media, you can also share your costume design on Instagram for others to see your idea! Remember to tag us (@poptropicacreators) and use the hashtag #MyPoptropicaCostume – we’ll repost your costume design to our story to share your work!

 

NOTE: Please submit your designs one at a time, as multiple attachments will not be received. Each month, a handful of players’ entries are received without any attached files. If you’re unsure if your image was successfully included, feel free to resubmit!

 

To start brainstorming your outfit designs, here are a few tips!

 

Keep in mind, you have free reign over your design! You can opt for island inspired clothing or go in a completely different direction.

 

Are you in love with wacky, otherworldly, simple, or just downright weird costumes? Prehaps you’d like to see the latest fashion trends in-game? Are you excited by the thought of sharing your costume designs and art on a larger scale?

 

Maybe you have a quirky sense of style that you think others haven’t seen before? Don’t worry if you prefer to march to the beat of your own drum. Creativity and originality are always appreciated!

 

Keep these tips in mind as you’re designing your outfit:

 

  • Your costume submission should be original!
  • Get creative! Look for inspiration in your favorite looks that you can put your own spin on! From TV/film, your personal wishlist outfits, career uniforms, and celebrity sightings, you can design just about anything.
  • Costumes may also include accessories and special powers.
  • While designing your entry, be sure it can be reproduced as a Poptropica costume. Avoid including tiny details would be hard to recreate and using previous store costumes.
     

Don't be discouraged if your design hasn’t been chosen in the past! We’re blown away by the incredible amount of creativity and unique costume designs each month. We wish they could all be winners! We always welcome players to resubmit past design submissions or come up with new costume ideas for each month's contest!

 

If you need a nudge in the right direction to get started, check out previous month’s player submissions on our Youtube channel.

 

 

Good luck, Poptropicans! If you have any questions or comments about the contest, don’t hesitate to drop them below. Our Team's eager to see what you dream up! ?
