Remember, if you ask people to vote for your entry, you will be disqualified.

What could possibly get you through the last weeks of summer better than new Ice Cubes? And such trendy ones, too...
The Mint Majesty, Strawberry Sensation, Pineapple Perfection, Pepper Passion and Honey Harmony Ice Cubes can now be found in the Frozen Collectives Emporium. It seems like the coolest Snowman in town also wants to get its hands on the snazzy new Cubes, so be on the lookout!

Citizens all around Terrafrost seem to be in an incredibly good mood today. Wherever you look, you can see Pets sharing their food with each other, hugging strangers, talking to people they usually don't like as much, and loud music comes out of every house in town. That can only mean one thing...
It's the day we celebrate @Judda taking over the site! Exactly three years ago, he became IcePets' new owner — and he's been working hard on it ever since. We'd like to take a moment to thank him for all his efforts day in and day out.
Trust us, he doesn't have an easy job with Staff getting on his nerves about coding all the time.
Attracted by the splendid mood, it seems the Tech Ridix decided to check Terrafrost out. Let's just hope that it won't mess with the code on our day of celebration...
Do you want to own a Tech Ridix of your own? Simply grab the Tech Ridix Morphing Potion from the Snow Jar Igloo or check out the I.C.E. Shop, where it stocks for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Account Users).

Did you and your Pets have fun with the recently released Snow Jar Plushies? If so, these new ones are the perfect fit for you! The Pirate Snow Jar Plushie, Dreamworld Snow Jar Plushie and Prankster Pie Snow Jar Plushie will all stock at Plushie Mania as well as being requested by Samuel.
For the hardcore collectors, the Rainbow Snow Jar should be an interesting new challenge! In order to receive one of these beauties, you will have to find and collect one of each basic (meaning not pose-changing) Snow Jar Plushies and add them to the Rainbow Snow Jar Plushie Jigsaw.

Starting today, we will be hosting the very first Book Contest! Until Saturday, the 26th of August 23:59:59, you can create your very own story and send it to @psyqualia.
Of course no contest goes without Rules:

That means that you are not allowed to tell others what story is yours, ask anyone to vote for you, or post your story anywhere until the event is over!
Disregarding the Contest Rules will disqualify your entry!
Staff will check your entries, confirming that they apply to the aforementioned Rules. It is possible that tiny changes (grammar rules, punctuation, ...) will be made to your submissions so that they meet our style of writing. However, the actual content won't be touched!

Did loud music and bright colours disturb your sleep over the course of the past nights? Well, it might have been the Rave Krittle's doing! Their good mood knows no curfews and no rules, they just want to spread their positivity wherever -- and whenever! -- they can.

The long summer can be a little boring from time to time. Luckily, Ralph has got just the right thing for bored bookworms.
A Space Adventure, My Princess, One Terrifying Night, Fight for the Prince, and Novyn's Lament will be stocking at the Book Store from now on. That should keep you and your Pets busy for a couple of hours!

What is this? It seems like all basic Snow Jars, as well as most pose-changing Snow Jars, have received their Plushie counterpart! Sadly, they don't inherit any morphing powers...
All of these lovely new additions will be stocking at Plushie Mania. It also seems like Samuel is incredibly interested in the newest Plushies...
Which one is your favourite? Let us know in the comments down below!
We would like to remind you that we are still hiring Editors! If you feel like you would be the perfect fit for our team, feel free to send in an application!

Distracted by all the intense action going on during the Team Contest, we didn't include a deadline for sending in prize wishes in our last newspost! You will have to message @Nati with your desired prizes before August 7th, 23:59:59 IST.
Items will be sent out shorly after the deadline.
It's a new month and with it come new arrivals in the I.C.E. Shop! All Items will be 500 IceCash each (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members). In order, the newest additions to our site are Ready for School Zabeu Plush, Demicus and Rainbow Jelly Trifle. Be sure to get your hands on these pretties before the start of the next month.
Tables have been put away, signs are being taken down and the Voting Booths are closed until next month. Of course, this can only mean one thing! It's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Scoring the most votes for Yet to Win MOTM everyone say congratulations to...
Thank you for being such a great part of our community! You will receive 100,000 IcePoints and this exclusive Hidden Avatar:
Here are our favourite things about @EbonyInferno:
- Ebony is always super friendly, positive and supportive! If that doesn't make for a good MOTM, I don't know what would. - Not only is EbonyInferno a talented artist, but also a very sweet user in general. Their amazing ideas and concepts are a true inspiration! - I love seeing her express her ideas for growing the site, creating fanart, and watching her support her team during the contest. I had to double check to make sure she hadn't already won.
Next up, with the most votes for Free for All MOTM everyone say congratulations to...
Thank you for being such a great part of our community! You will receive 100,000 IcePoints and this exclusive Trophy:
This is why we think @gravity172 is deserving of their prize:
- I think gravity172 should win. He's incredibly supportive of his team during this contest and it's so refreshing to see a team captain support and push their team to victory. - Gravity really raised the spirits during this contest! He was so on top of things and really helped his team out.
While everyone was busy cleaning up after MOTM Voting, our lovely Staff took a few moments out of their busy schedule to vote on SOTM! After collecting and counting out the votes, SOTM goes to...
There are no words that can adequately describe what all @psyqualia does for this site. Not only do they do an absolutely marvelous job handling the growing number of tasks they have, but they also find the time to take on even more than what we ever could expect from them. They are truly an irreplaceable Staff Member and an even more valued teammate and friend. To celebrate, we've created the following Item in their honour!

It is all over!
The Team Pets have been removed from the captains' accounts, so everybody can finally take a break from sending Items. Instead, you can use your time to take a look at the results of the contest!
The Team Captains can still send a Support Ticket to inform Staff about inactive team members!
Fourth place goes to...
Team Red Dovu with 15,810 Plushies!
You will receive one random Item from your team's set, a random special Morphing Potion or Snow Jar, as well as six stretch goal Items soon.
Next up, in third place...
Team Yellow Sharshel with exactly 25,000 Plushies!
Your prizes include two random Items from your team's set as well as ten stretch goal Items. Please let us know about your desired Morphing Potion or Snow Jar here.
In a glorious second place...
Team Blue Audril with 27,553 Plushies!
You will shortly receive three random Items from your team's set as well as eleven stretch goal Items. Make sure to send a message here, letting us know about the Collection Item (Ice Cube, Stamp, or Gourmet Food) and Plushie of your choice. Keep in mind that the Collection Item will be added directly to the respective Collection, not to your inventory.
That means that the winning Team is...
Team Green Trido with 29,018 Plushies!
Your hard work will be rewarded with four random Items from your team's set as well as eleven stretch goal Items. You too will get to send your desired Collection Item (Ice Cube, Stamp, or Gourmet Food) and Plushie of your choice here.
And just like that, the Team Contest madness has come to an end. We hope that everybody had a great time!
