Hello, clraik! It's that time of year again - presents and gifts galore make the whole season merry and bright!
This year, we've got a top-notch event with a fabulous set of prizes for you. The format this year allows for maximum creativity: we give you five prompts, and you fill those prompts with either a writing fill, an art fill, or a realistic fill (like baking a pie in your oven at home)!
Users who fill all five prompts by December 31st, 2020 at 11:59pm NST (Neopian Standard Time), with at least two being filled by December 24th, 2020 at 11:59pm NST and two filled during the last week of the contest, will be in line to receive their choice of these fabulous holiday Pokemon userbars!
The grand prize? Your choice of a userbar from above, 3 months of clraik VIP, and two NC cards worth a total of $50 USD!
The Prompts
1. Brr, it's cold out - your Neopet asks for a new hat/scarf/pair of socks for the snowy season! How fabulous is the item you find or make for them?
2. Princess Amira throws Sakhmet's first month-long festival for the Month of Celebrating. What event does she plan for the grand finale, or what does she award as the grand prize?
3. For once, you managed to keep your Rod of Supernova safe from the Pant Devil. Little did you know, it's customisable! How and/or why do you decorate it?
4. You get a chance to design a new holiday theme for Neopets. How much inspiration do you take from the (you need an account to see links)?
5. On the last day of the Month of Celebrating, you manage to pilfer an item from the Snowager's hoard that you've never seen before! What is it?
