Creative Contest Prizes

The Art Gallery, Caption Contest, Neopian Times, Poetry Gallery, and Storytelling Contest all award prizes. Although each of the contests award trophies for winning, they also come along with items and Neopoints every single time you win!

The prize pools were updated at the following times in Jellyneo's recorded history:

  • Summer of 2012
  • Autumn of 2018
  • Spring of 2023

The item prize pools for all four of these contests have traditionally been shared, but in 2023 the Caption Contest (March) and Storytelling Contest (February) moved to a new pool, leaving the Art Gallery and Poetry Gallery on an older set of prizes until mid May. The Neopian Times was eventually added to this prize pool in January of 2024 (it had previously only awarded items for special issues).

Current Prizes

All fivee contests award the following Neopoint and item prizes:

The following pool of items was awarded starting in early 2023.

Previous Prizes

The following pool of items was awarded starting in the autumn of 2018, and were awarded by all four contests until early 2023. The pool was fully replaced by mid May, 2023.

Special Rounds

In special 100th rounds of the contests, things work a little differently, and this varies between contests. Some will award extra items, and some will award items instead of the regular random prize. The Art Gallery does not have any round-specific prizes.

Poetry Gallery

In the Poetry Gallery, an Alstaf Poogle collectable card is awarded in addition to the regular item prize. The exception to this was round 1,000, which awarded the Millennial Pen instead of the regular item prize, meaning that users received the pen and the collectable card. Note: Every 100th Poetry gallery is always made up of previous winners that the judge reposts, you can't physically enter this round.

Storytelling

The Storytelling 100th round awards The Storyteller collectable card in addition to the normal random item prize. However, The Storyteller is normally awarded at a later date, not along with the normal prize.

Caption Contest

The Caption Contest normally works by awarding the regular random item prize every 10th round (formerly 100th), in addition to the 'Caption Contest - Funny' avatar. However, the 1,000th, 1,300th, 1,400th, and 1,420th rounds have awarded the Ghostkerchief Pen instead of the regular random item prize.

Starting from Caption Contest #1400, this avatar is awarded to all 25 winners in every 10th round (#1410, #1420, #1430, etc.). Prior to contest #1400, this was awarded to winners of every 100th round. (Round #1401 winners also received the avatar but this was an exception.)

Released: April 14, 2004

Neopian Times

The Neopian Times has themed issues throughout the year, such as for Halloween or Christmas. These issues typically award an item in addition to the normal random prize. This item is usually chosen by the editor of the Neopian Times, and is not the same year on year. Additionally, every 25 issues is a special anniversary edition. This issue also awards the 'Neopian Times Writer' avatar.
