Any discussion regarding this?

Ugh...this should be interesting, 'cause after a while it will just be the NC Mall patrons who win anything, unless a bunch of us band together and vote for all of the plain pets with NP-bought items.

I don't think it has to be an NC Mall person that wins. I think other pets could win. There are some NP bought items that are interesting. There are also some interesting paintbrush combinations. So people can get creative and come up with something very interesting that doesn't have to be from the NC mall. I've seen some pretty interesting stuff that people have done with their pets and many of them do not have stuff from the mall.

You have to be kidding me...ugh. There's almost no way a np bought customized neopet would win that spotlight...unless they're rich.
In all honesty, I think this is to give incentive to join the NC Mall craze and keep their NC Mall customers happy, because now there's an even better reason to spend real money on customization objects.

Here is my pet that I entered.

Babysmacks, my little tonu, decided to play dress up with coacoamuffin since she can't wear clothing yet. Apparently this looks very cool to her. Poor Coacoamuffin!

I prefer pets that are pretty but simple myself. A pet doesn't have to have a lot of clothes for me to be impressed by it. I'm entering my Lenny since I've had a lot of compliments about my choice of colours foor her and the background I finally managed to get for her.

So long as people who dress up their pets in NC Mall items don't get all the votes I'll be happy.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this. When I saw it, I immediately thought about the NC mall and how that had the high potential of giving people an advantage in this, as those who have access to it have a much wider variety of options to get their pet "just right."
On the other hand, I just finished double-painting my pet, and consider her potentially eligible for this. Whether or not I'd actually enter her, I don't know.

Seems like their edging closer and closer to having things you buy with money effect game play. Spend enough money on NC Mall items and you can get a shiny trophy! (or at least, have an advantage over those who don't spend money when trying to get that particular trophy >.>)

Welcome to the slippery slope, hope you enjoy the ride!
