Every Wednesday, Neopets hosts the Totally Awesome and Completely Random Contest, a wild and wacky competition where creativity knows no bounds! Each week, players are given an out-of-the-box challenge—whether it’s creating a Neopian Poster for a movie, dressing up your real-life pet in Neopets clothes, or even making a life-size Meepit statue (which, honestly, hasn’t happened yet—but who knows). Oh, and don’t forget the time Neopets asked for your ideas when they ran out of their own—because randomness is the heart of this event!
Why Enter?
The prizes, of course! Here’s a breakdown of the rewards:
- First Prize: 10,000 NP + an item themed around the contest.
- Second Prize: 5,000 NP + a different themed item from the first prize.
- Third Prize: 2,000 NP + the ultimate bragging rights and a totally unique random avatar.
While the first and second prizes usually go to around 5 and 10 winners, the third prize often has 100 winners, sharing the glory (though exceptions do occur).
Tips for Winning:
Since this contest is all about originality, your secret weapon is creativity. Standing out in the Neopets universe requires unique, Neopets-themed ideas that surprise and delight. Whether you’re building something big and bold or coming up with a funny twist on the week’s theme, originality will get you noticed.
Another key point is effort. TNT (The Neopets Team) loves to see the time and energy you’ve put into your entry. Perfect technique or intricate beauty might not win you the prize, but showing you’ve dedicated yourself to your creation will! For example, a scarecrow could be fantastic if you really show how much thought and creativity went into making it.
And here’s a little trick—add a humorous “entry speech” when you submit your work. This is your chance to explain how you went about your creation in a witty and lighthearted way. TNT appreciates fun, clever, and bright explanations, so don’t be shy with your humor!
Finally, why not get inspired by some previous winners? While you might be ready to laugh at some of the quirkiest creations, browsing past winners gives you an idea of just how wild and creative this contest can get.
So, grab your materials, your ideas, and your funniest entries—and dive into the Totally Awesome and Completely Random Contest! The randomness of the task is only matched by the excitement of the prizes you could win.
