My apologies for the delayed results, I've had an extremely busy week and I didn't have time to post before now. :)

Welcome!
Have you ever thought of a really cool neopets item, and wished they had something like that, just so you could buy it? Or maybe you have a great gallery theme, but not enough items to really fill it up. Or perhaps you just like dreaming up wacky new items in your spare time. If so, then this is the contest for you!

In this contest, YOU will have the chance to come up with an idea for a new neopets item. It could be a gourmet food, or a new paintbrush, or just some useless yet totally cool-looking trinket. However, there is a catch. Each item must fulfill a theme set forth by me. Sound interesting? Read on.

Rules
Every month, I will start a new contest with a brand-new theme. It might be clothing, it might be Hidden Tower items, or it might be a theme which covers a broad spectrum of items. There are no applications, and there is no approval process, so anyone may join at any time. The contest will start whichever day I post it, and will remain open until midnight EST on the last day of the month. I will then take a few days reviewing the entries, and within the first week I will announce the winner, after which a new contest will start. There is no limit to the number of items you can enter, so you can get as wacky as you want to!

Prizes
This month, I am offering a prize to the winner of this contest. However, since I cannot offer any neopets prizes, I am instead offering $1,000,000 from another web site I go on called Furry Paws. If the winner does not play Furry Paws, or does not wish to accept the prize, the 1 million will simply be added to the next month's prize. :)

Submission Form
If you have an idea for an item, all you have to do is fill out the following form and post it here. Only the fields with an (*) are required, the rest is optional.

*Item Name:
*Rarity:
*Description:
*Where is the item obtained?:
(In other words, if the item restocks, what store it would be in. If it doesn't RS, would you get it through an RE, through a special game, in the HT, etc.)
*Price: (Please include RS price if it RSes, and SW or TP price)
Special effects: (Does the item cause a disease, raise a stat, etc.?)
Other:


No item image is required, nor will submissions with images be given any extra credit. However, you are welcome to show off your leet image-making skilz.

Discussion on this board is highly encouraged. If anyone has any questions, please message me.

P.S. This contest is an idea based off of IDB's Create-A-Weapon Contest, so any credit must go to Benladesh for the idea. :)

November Results!
I had an extremely difficult time deciding the winner this month, as there were multiple entries that deserved the prize. However, after carefully reviewing all of the entries, I would like to announce that Pardona is the winner of this month's contest!
Quote:
Item Name: The Heart of Maraqua
Rarity: 101 (Special)
Description: Thought to have been lost when Maraqua was destroyed by pirates, the old lady actually carried it with her her entire life.
Where is the item obtained?: Underwater Fishing, minimum Fishing Skill of 300
Price: 20'000'000 Np
Special effects: Clothing
Other: Wearable
Design: A blue diamond necklace, always sparkling.
Gallery: Jewelry


I picked this entry because I loved the Titanic refference, and while this item would be extremely difficult to get, it's also something that everyone could have a chance at obtaining. The beauty of the necklace, and the fact that it's a wearable would only increase its value, which makes this exactly the kind of item I was hoping for. :)

And a special mention to Siniri, your Daily Dare 2008 MegaSuperb Sore Losers T-shirt was an extremely close second.

October Winner
Pardona wrote:
Item Name: Dragonegg
Rarity: 101 (Special)
Description: An ancient Negg, now fossilized. Whatever creature was inside has long since died.
Where is the item obtained?: Randomly added to inventory when visiting the Lair of the Beast
Price: 15'000'000 Np
Special effects: Battledome
Other: Defends against all fire damage
Design: Looks like a cracked Rock Negg, except for it's perfectly oval shape and dragon claw imprinted on it.


December Theme!
This month's theme is clothing! There are no requirements other than creativity, and you may submit one article of clothing or an entire set. (Like a paintbrush) Previously submitted articles of clothing may be re-submitted for this month, and any new ideas may be submitted in future contests, so feel free to use whatever ideas you can come up with.


Pardona, please PM me with the FP account number you want me to send your prize to. :) If anyone has a theme they'd like to see for future contests, you are welcome to PM me.

So you're only allowed one entry? Bummer, I really like these creative kind of contests. Also, does it have to be clothing, or does t just have to be a Wearable?

No, no, you can still enter as many times as you wish, I was just saying that if you entered a clothing item for my previous contests, you can re-submit it for this contest as an entry, if you so desire. :) It must be something on the neopet's body, which means markings and tattoos are allowed, but it can't be a background, foreground item, held item, etc.
