Costume Contest: Round 2 Now Open

Posted by Dave on October 16, 2025, 8:47 am NST

The second round of our Costume Contest is now open! Go vote!

You are given three votes, and you may vote for whichever costumes made it to this round. The top rated 75 pets from round one have moved on. If your costume didn't make it, never fear! It could show up as a staff pick at the end!

You may vote for three different Neopets, three of the same pets, or however you want to spread your votes around! You may not vote for yourself.

NEW THIS YEAR: Our staffers wanted to get in on the fun this year as well, and we now have a separate Staff Category open for voting through the end of Round 3! Vote for your favourite costume by one of our staffers, and as a bonus you'll receive a bonus vote in Round 3!

Vote In Round 2 Now »

And as a quick warning as in year's past, please only use one jnAccount to vote. Each year we usually have to disqualify a handful of people that made the contest unfair by voting on several accounts.

Definitely didn't expect to make it to round 2

by aimierre on October 16, 2025 9:30 AM NST

Super stoked to be in Round 2 after failing to make the cut last year!

Best of luck to all of my competition!

by watmelmochi on October 16, 2025 9:35 AM NST

It was so hard to only pick 3! So many great costumes this year!

by skatterbugged on October 16, 2025 9:55 AM NST

C’MON, DORIS!!!

by 1jediboy on October 16, 2025 11:09 AM NST

The competition was fierce congrats everyone and good luck

by _amethysts on October 16, 2025 11:37 AM NST

So happy my entry made it to round 2, good luck everyone!

by aleu1986 on October 16, 2025 11:54 AM NST

Aww, three votes wasn't enough this round! Good luck to all the really good costumers!
Also, pity my entry didn't make it into the second round. Next year maybe.

by woodstocki on October 16, 2025 12:07 PM NST

I don't usually struggle this hard to pick just 3 pets to vote for! Some great costumes this year!

by neolodgeism on October 16, 2025 12:26 PM NST

I had it narrowed down to 9... very difficult decisions!

by purplebin on October 16, 2025 1:01 PM NST

I am soooooo distraught Watanuki didin't make it to round two. My entry of Auron didn't make it either but MAN that Watanuki xxxHolic outfit was so perfect OTL

by areth on October 16, 2025 1:11 PM NST

Surprised none of the Deltarune entries made it to round 2, there were some good ones there. Also rip Darkrai your customisation was pretty creative imo.
With that said, lots of good entries remain, I really like this year's contest

by bonju on October 16, 2025 1:23 PM NST

Your Auron was amazing Areth, one of my favorites from round one. ^~^

by firenrocks on October 16, 2025 2:44 PM NST

How can I only pick 3?!? I always have trouble with this round and beyond because there are always several really good ones!

Great job everyone! c:

ps I still haven't forgotten the awesome Jools Lebron one from last year - one of my all time faves!

by beingniceisfree on October 16, 2025 2:47 PM NST

Heyyy how did Weird Al not make it to round 2?!?!

This is Jools all over again.

by beingniceisfree on October 16, 2025 2:59 PM NST

3 votes didn't feel enough, so many good ones

by enalis on October 16, 2025 3:17 PM NST

It was SO HARD picking just three.. c'mon, give us five next time. LOL.

by shaymusall on October 16, 2025 4:42 PM NST

surprised and happy to see my submission made it to round 2! there are so many good ones this year.

@bonju, the darkrai costume was SO creative

by ashtonavocado on October 16, 2025 5:40 PM NST

The Darkrai costume was just *chefs kiss*. The use of the Void Filter for its Dark Void attack? The red bandanna for its collar thing? The way the Kyrii tail emulates the back end of Darkrai's body? All of it was just so good.

by watmelmochi on October 16, 2025 6:03 PM NST

Ooooof, three votes only, that was tough. I say give everyone who made it past the first round a trophy. (I can say that without bias, because my darling Fat Bear Week champion didn't advance!)

by meepydom on October 16, 2025 7:20 PM NST

Aww... Mine didn't make it. The competition was too rough.

I think I'm gonna need more than three votes. I need like.. at least five. ^^; Oh, wait. Someone already said that. LOL Well, I guess the feeling is mutual.

by powerwingamber on October 16, 2025 7:20 PM NST

Agreed with above comments, so hard to narrow it down to 3 votes! Good luck everyone!

by sketch on October 16, 2025 7:38 PM NST

@beingniceisfree Weird Al is a staffer costume! You can still vote for it there!

by kenny on October 16, 2025 8:10 PM NST JN Staff

Voted for Amelia Earhart three times.

My favorites didn't make it sadly.

by zenopeltis on October 17, 2025 6:11 AM NST

I fat-fingered on my phone and accidentally put two votes in on random entries I touched. Is there any way that it could be undone?

by watmelmochi on October 17, 2025 7:58 AM NST

I narrowed it down to four ... tough choices!

! Congrats To All !

by oceanblueh2o_7 on October 17, 2025 8:47 AM NST

@kenny RE: Weird Al being a staff entry
omgosh, what a relief, thank you!!!

@meepydom
Aww, I'm so sorry, that was a BRILLIANT one and definitely one of my FAVORITE entries!!!
