The Neopies Awards
Starting in January of 2009, Neopets started a new annual survey called the Neopies. The Neopies are awards given to the "Best of" the current year as voted by Neopets users. This page shows some of the items given out to voters and the nominated categories and winners for each year.
12th Year - Best of 2023
The 12th Annual Neopies starts on February 1st, 2024 . Be sure to vote everyday so you dont miss the special prize. However if you want the special prize at the end, you must vote on the 1st day that is available to vote. The border around your vote selection will be a dark blue if it is the 1st day it is available for voting. It will be light blue if you are voting on day 2 (other than the first voting category where you have an extra day to vote).
Below you can see the list of prizes and winners so far.

Best Site Event February 9th | |||
9% Festival of Neggs This Festival of Neggs was out of this world...literally! It took place on the Virtupets Space Station, where Kari ran the festival, all while helping Mira discover the identity of a mysterious object she found in space that looked peculiarly similar to a Negg! With the help of a few interesting characters, such as Dr. Landelbrot and Orion O. Ophiuchus, they finally got to the truth and found it was an egg to a newly discovered petpet, the Bython! | 40% Faerie Festival Back for the first time in a long time, the Faerie Festival was quite an adventure! Queen Fyora called for the feuding faeries Illusen and Jhudora to run the event, and things went as well as you would expect from putting those two together! They immediately parted ways and ran two separate events, but surprisingly, they came together to track down the reason behind the recent uptick in pollution around Neopia. After taking down the corrupt Malkus Vile and his henchmen, the event came to a close, with the two faeries maybe just being the slightest bit closer...but probably not. | 8% April Fools This event reintroduced an...old friend of Neopia, Nick Neopia and his newly created Sceptic Tank, where he invited us all to question everything! A now self-proclaimed seeker of the truth, Nick flooded Neopia with ads to entice citizens to come to his Sceptic Tank and read all about the lies he had discovered that TNT has been pushing throughout the years. This was, of course, just all a joke. We here at the Neopies would never question what TNT has to say, and we wholeheartedly support them and thank them for their charitable donation to this year's productions! | 42% Advent Calendar The Advent Calendar last year had us all crying in the Food Club for a myriad of reasons. From the touching comics to the fantastic prizes, this wintery event was held by many to be an even bigger success than the year before! The festivities also took an interesting turn when a familiar yet tired face appeared, trying to get the Advent shut down! Luckily, Reina was able to handle the situation and keep the celebration going. Still, we were all left with a mysterious message that not even Queen Fyora could understand! |
Best Petpet Colour February 10th | |||
22% Elderly Gathow Don't write off elderly petpets! They may be up there in age, but with that comes knowledge and the free time to cuddle up a storm! | 40% Halloween Hasee Don't worry! The Hasee can safely breathe in there! This is just the Hasee's adorable Halloween costume of a wrapped piece of candy! Aren't they so creative?! | 27% Orange Rock What? How did an orange get into this category? Oh! Our bad, it's the Rock petpet painted orange! Good thing we didn't try to peel it! | 10% Yellow Bython The newest little petpet slithered its way into all of our hearts last year, and when we saw how adorable they were when painted yellow, we knew they had to be a contestant on the Neopies! |
Best Neopet Colour February 11th | |||
18% Marble JubJub When this look rolled out, it took us all by surprise! It challenged the status quo and really made us rethink what style was! While this design was risky, we think it paid off and gave us the opportunity for really unique customisations! | 34% Pastel Kau This beautiful berry-like Kau came to town and stole all our hearts! Look at those baby blue eyes and adorable pink patches; they're just absolute perfection wrapped in a Pastel Kau package! | 22% Sroom Chia Mushroooom Mushroooom!

So put away your sticks and instead swing your votes over to this colourful masterpiece! |
Best Species Specific Outfit February 12th | |||
7% Fruit and Veggie Chia Wings While technically not an outfit, and the wings go on multiple different Chia, we still wanted to give a shout-out to the first wearables for all Fruit and Veggie Chias! It is so lovely that they can now don wings to fly with; hopefully, there will be more items for them to come! | 23% Scaly Shoyru Three heads are better than one, and this outfit proves it! From the range of emotion it evokes to the beautiful shiny finish, these wearables are worth every Neopoint! | 29% Fluffy Kau It's so fluuuuuffffyyyy! Who thought that Kaus could somehow be made even more adorable? Well, this outfit definitely showed us, and we are so happy it did! | 42% Museum Grarrl Museums are the best! You can learn so much while also seeing such cool things from all over the globe. So, of course, one would want to become part of all that by adorning this historical outfit! |

Neo's Neopies 2021 FAQs
The Neopies are Neopia's annual salute to the numerous highlights (and occasional lowlights) that made the previous year so remarkable. Hosted by a charming Elephante named Ellsworth, the Neopies are a grand gala, whose prominence on the Neopian social calendar is rivalled only by the magnificence of the Chocolate Ball. Once the nominees are announced, attendees earn prizes for placing their votes, which then decide the winner of each category.
2. When do the Neopies start and when do they end?
Voting begins on February 1st NST. The winner of the final category is announced on February 21st 2022.
3. How are the Neopies finalists chosen?
As the end of the year approached, our team of Neopian experts gathered to decide on the categories and select nominees. After a few weeks of debating and voting (with a little arguing thrown in for good measure), the list of finalists is complete.
4. How do I submit my vote?
Click the button below the finalist you would like to vote for. Once you have made your selection (or selections, depending on how many categories you have available for voting that day), click the Submit My Vote button. At that point, you'll need to confirm your vote(s). Once confirmed, your choice(s) will be submitted.
5. How many times can I vote per day?
You can vote once per day for each category that's currently available. When voting, you'll be able to place a vote for a new category (if there's one available that day), as well as any additional previously-announced categories that you may not have voted for below. You'll find these categories located in the "Your Ballot" box.
6. How long do I have to vote on each category?
Each category will be available to vote on for three days, with the exception of the first category, which will be available to vote on for four days. If you vote on a category the first day that it's up, you'll see a dark blue border around your choice. If your vote is not cast until either the 2nd or 3rd day, then your selection will have a light blue around it.
7. How many categories are there to vote on?
This year's Neopies contain a total of 17 categories. A new category will be added each day during the event, with the exception of the second day, until all that remains is to vote on the last two categories. Since categories remain posted for a period of up to three days, you can have as many as three categories to vote on at one time.
8. Do I have to vote for all of the categories that are up on a certain day?
No. However, if you want to receive the bonus prize at the end of the event -- and we know that you do -- you'll need to cast a vote for every category on the day (or, in the case of the first category, day-and-a-half) that it's posted.
9. Do I get a prize for voting?
Yes! You'll receive a prize for every category that you vote for.
10. If I happen to miss a day of voting, so that I have two categories to vote on the following day, can I vote for one of those categories and then come back later in the day and vote for the other?
Yes, you can come back at any time during that day (NST) and vote on the remaining category (or, for those who miss two days, categories). If you miss three days, however, you'll only be able to vote for that day's category and those from the previous two days, since the three-day window for the category from three days ago will have expired.
11. If I change my mind after I have voted in a particular category for that day, can I change my vote?
Once you have submitted your vote(s), you cannot go back and re-vote on them. If you make a selection and then change your mind, you can alter your choice before submitting it. Once a vote has been submitted, however, it is permanently and utterly irreversibly locked in.
