Welcome to Jellyneo.net!

Happy almost October! Jellyneo's Seventeenth Annual Halloween Costume Contest is now open for entries! We wanted to give you plenty of time to prepare your costumes, so you have from now until October 7th at 11:59PM NST to submit your pet dressed up for Halloween.

Just like last year, we will be accepting as many entries as we can for round one of voting. (Barring any rules violations of course, and we also won't be accepting 10 vampires, so be creative!) 75 of the top rated pets from round one will move on to round two, and from there the top 30 will compete for a gold trophy.

For a full list of rules and dates, please see our Costume Contest '23 page. And then start dressing up your pet! (There are no new rule changes from last year.)

As a warning to everyone planning on submitting: like we said above, we will only be accepting, at the most, 1-2 variations of a particular costume. In other words, only about 1-2 vampires, only 1-2 Ednas, etc. So if you'd like a better chance of getting in, make a unique, but still recognizable, costume! Venturing off the "beaten path" has worked well in past contests—think Neopian characters, pop culture references, and more.

(Before submitting, be sure to check out the rules!)

Sad day, Neopians! Via posts on social media and the Portal News page, TNT have announced that this year's Faerie Festival has been pushed back to October 2nd due to bad weather coming from Mystery Island.

You can read the full post below. Let us know in the comments how this impacts you. and how you'll be using the extra days to prepare for the revised festival's start date. More time to hoard am I right?

Faerie Festival Delayed to October 2nd

Greetings, fellow Neopians,

We know you've all been eagerly looking forward to this year’s Faerie Festival, but here's the scoop—we've had to shuffle our plans a bit.

Although Queen Fyora was excited to unveil a new and improved Faerie Festival event this year on September 20th, forecasts of a particularly severe storm blowing in from Mystery Island have caused the Faerie Queen to delay the event. Since the storm is setting records for unusually high winds, the Festival has been rescheduled to October 2nd for the safety of attending Neopians.

While the delay is disappointing for all involved, a little extra time before the festival means that Queen Fyora and her team have even more time to work their magic. Rest assured, when October 2nd arrives Neopians will be treated to a celebration like no other.

Stay safe, stay magical, and see you at the Faerie Festival on October 2nd!
