Art Gallery Halloween Entries

Somebody on the trade chat posted how they received a Petpets Stamp for their entry into the Art Gallery Halloween entry...

I'm not familiar with this contest - is this something where multiple people can win or just one person?
Kind of crazy for a prize like that to be given out in a contest like that. Not opposed to it if it's not mass released, but just imagine submitting an entry and winning something that is currently valued at well over a billion NPs

They added the rare r101 stamps to the prize pools for the art and poetry competitions a few months back.

Typically for the art gallery you get a random prize from a preset prize pool, so they probably updated it which sounds nice to get more items in circulation. If i recall the prize pool has always had stuff like pbs in it so you could get a nice prize, but there was also a chance to just get a codestone

Welp, if this is going to be a trend, good luck to whoever's moderating art submissions. I foresee an uptick in AI-generated submissions, just like what happened with the Beauty Contest when the tutorial quests were launched (as mentioned in another thread here).

Really? That's pretty wild. I know they released the STS awhile back for a different contest - would not have thought they'd be releasing stamps like Petpets in there as well. I guess it's time to shake out some sweet AI generated stuff like @(you need an account to see links) mentioned and hope to win something huge.

There's a pool for creative contests like Art Gallery and Poetry Competition that people will win a random item from. Some of these are very mundane like codestones, some are big ticket collectibles like that, and more recently they've introduced some exclusive items like books.

I have no idea if this is a complete list, but it's one I have saved from somewhere, unsure of source, sorry.

Sheesh, those prizes run the gambit from JUNK to some of the most expensive prizes in the game. I can't be mad at that. If they aren't mass releasing these stamps but just tossing them back into circulation in this kind of manner - that works.

JellyNeo has the full list (you need an account to see links).

The stamps haven't been released in any notable numbers, but it's very nice to see the occasional one hit the market now and then.

I believe this pool was introduced several months ago, and it seems the big ticket reintroduction has been a slow trickle, so it seems like it's going okay so far. I know the submission process for those can be tricky as it can be more about timing, but yeah, going okay as far as I know!

Those prizes are pretty sweet, I guess it's just a "cross your fingers and hope for the best" kinda thing.
Although that 1k - 10k NPs prize - whoo boy, breaking the bank there!

I guess I've been living under a rock - or just never noticed anybody saying they won a big stamp from one of those contests before.
