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.
8th Year - Best of 2019
The 8th Annual Neopies starts on February 3rd, 2020 and ends February 22nd, 2020. Be sure to vote everyday so you dont miss the special prize. Each category is open for voting for 2 days, except for day one which is open for an extra day. 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 gold if it is the 1st day it is available for voting. It will be green 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 Neopet Colour February 3-4 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 49% Oil Paint Peophin This Peophin is painted with gorgeous streaks from Maraqua blue to Lost Desert Yellow. No one's seen such artistry with oil streaks since Vincent Van-Der-Gyre or Leonardo Da Wocky. |
 19% Steampunk Blumaroo The mechanized suit of a Blumaroo comes with brass breather mask, pressure gauge, and retractable ear-armor. It's a no-brainer for a Neopet who plans to explore the depths of Moltara... and that's not just hot air. |
 22% Mosaic Grarrl It has the swirly, sunny pattern formed by thousands of Altador's finest painted ceramics. This design brings all the pieces together. |
 11% Origami Techo Crafted from the finest red paper that Faerieland has to offer. No one's seen this much folding since Brucey B returned to the "Cheat!" Championships. |
| Best Species Specific Outfit February 5 | |||
 14% Candy Ruki A full dress decorated with yummy, gummy, tastiness. Slip on the pink shoes and the candy headband for that sweet look. Ruki takes candy... checkmate! |
 30% Gnorbu Snowbeast These sure-footed Gnorbus are some of the rarest sights in Terror Mountain. They often symbolize good fortune to weary adventurers. Also, Tusk-aninnies get so jealous of this look for obvious reasons! |
 20% Mermaid Flotsam There's iridescence, sheen, and rainbow colors. It all makes this look the talk of Maraqua... enough said!... Seriously. They really won't stop unless it wins. |
36% Witch Eyrie The dark Neovian gown, sweeping silver curls, and magnificent wings redefine spooky elegance and make it a real contender. Teamed with a bow wrapped broom, it may just sweep this award. |
| Best Advent Animation February 6 | |||
35% Day 9 How can you warm your heart when you don't have enough Neopoints to buy presents? Sometimes a shared hot chocolate is worth all the treasure in Neopia. |
 18% Day 11 During a snowball catapult duel, one Neopet showed his true colors. Sometimes what looks like a cheap shot turns out to be a gift... literally. |
 23% Day 19 Rushing home to your twin sisters, you can sometimes forget what you got them. Presents can't change your messy siblings but come on! |
 24% Day 21 In a castle where ghostly figures roam the halls you can never be sure that it's someone you know. What happens when a prank gets a bit too real? |
| Best Advent Prize February 7 | |||

40% Maraqua Sunken Ship Background At the bottom of the ocean, the mystery of the sunken ship has given many sleepless nights to investigators and it remains unsolved... as does the case of its missing award. |
| Best Neopoint Wearable February 9 | |||

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.
