Sqwenda has just finished polishing (and building) the Team Contest trophies -- they have been awarded to all participants who qualified for prizes. You can now show off your effort on your profile!
The members of the winning team can also show off the shiny Team Contest Winner Hidden Avatar! This will be awarded to the winning teams of future Team Contests as well.
In unrelated news -- turn your feathery companion into the adorably blocky, squarishly cuddly Cubed Ori, by using a Cubed Snow Jar obtainable from the I.C.E Shop. This Pet was funded by @Cowpro.
Although you may have seen her around already, we are pleased to announce that @Flannel is officially joining the IcePets Staff team as a Moderator. Welcome! As usual, to keep up with Staff changes, visit the Staff page.
On that note, IcePets is hiring 2 Editors and 1 Moderator! If you think you have what it takes, apply via our Support Site.
Members of the Yellow Sharshel and Red Dovu Teams, please message Nexinhah with your Item choices by the end of July. If you fail to do so, you will not receive your prize.

In case you didn't get your hands on any Team Contest Winner Credits, if you restocked over 2,000 Items, you were given a bonus of 100 Team Contest Winner Credits. If you managed to restock over 4,000 Items, you were given a bonus of 200, and if you managed to restock over 6,000 Items, you were given a bonus of 300! Huzzah!
Members of Team Red Dovu and Team Yellow Sharshel should message Nexinhah with your Collection Item choice. Remember - Team Red Dovu members get their items in their inventory, while Team Yellow Sharshel members get them directly in their collection.
Wondering where to spend your points? Terrafrost's newest NPC, Sqwenda, is such a big fan of the event, they've opened up the Team Contest Shop, with all the old goodies available alongside a delightful new set of team-spirited Items!
Now, to celebrate our most furious restockers! The top restockers of each team have been awarded an additional 300 Winner Credits:
- @mochihugs from Red Dovu with 22901 restocks - @Nati from Yellow Sharshel with 16000 restocks - @RiverStarr from Blue Audril with 9257 restocks - @SunnySparks from Green Trido with 9350 restocks

It's that time again! Wherever you are in Terrafrost, head to the nearest voting booth and cast your vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Terrafrostians can vote for up to three users to win 100,000 IcePoints and the Member of the Month Avatar.
Two winners will be chosen each month. One lucky new winner will be honoured with Yet to Win MOTM, for those who have yet to be recognised for their community contribution. Then there is the Free for All MOTM, which includes all members except Staff, for those long-time members who deserve another tip of the hat. For those who have already won MOTM, you will receive the Honoured Member Trophy.
Remember! - You cannot nominate yourself or members of Staff. - Do not ask other users to vote for yourself or other members. - Send your nominations here!
You have until the end of the month to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on the first of next month!

Great work so far to all the teams! There has been an astounding number of restocks, and we love the team spirit! Get ready for the final stretch -- the contest will end next week, so if you have yet to jump into the fray, now's your chance.
Everyone has until 23:59 IcePets Time on Tuesday, June 26th to participate and collect those last extra points for your team. After that, it's time to unveil the prizes!
This year, we are introducing a new system: Team Contest Credits.
One of the Terrafrostians over on the sidelines has been cheering all the teams on so much, they want to take it up a notch and really get into the team spirit. At the end of this contest, this fantastic fan will be opening a new Credit Store with all the Team Items -- and a few new ones, too! To celebrate the victors, there will also be special winner's team Items that can only be purchased with special Team Contest Winner Credits. These include exclusive collectibles and an extra special something-something.
The winning team will be awarded Winner Credits as well as Team Contest Credits. Everyone participating will be awarded Team Contest Credits, primarily for your own team's Items, with some bonus Credits for a few of the other team's Items! How well your team ranks will determine how many Credits you will be awarded. You can also expect your team's Profile Skin Item and some other goodies!
Finally, to reward the fiercest restockers among you, the top three restockers of the contest will receive the Golden Competitor Stamp, and the top restocker of each team will receive bonus Winner Credits. If that doesn't light a fire under you, I don't know what will! Get out there and get restocking for the mad dash to the finish line!

My, aren't you looking fabulous today, Terrafrostians? I think we should celebrate how gorgeous we are, don't you? I declare a day of pampering and admiring! No, a day isn't enough -- a week! A month! No, no, even better -- I have just the thing.
I have, on occasion, been known to give out special or event Beauty Items, but from now on, for the truly fashionable, I'm going to swap some of those old Items for exclusive Beauty King prizes!
I'm starting my own line of products starting with these new 10. You can get your hands on the new Kingly Beard Brush, Pompous Pomade, Flapper Dress, Expensive Wristwatch, Crinoline, Silk Feather Hat, Black Lace Veil, Black Lace Corset, Eccentric Suit and Frilly Ball Gown. Now get out there and be fabulous, everyone!

Is the Team Contest taking over all your attention? Well, how about a little reprieve. Give yourself a break to cool off with these revamped Snowman Quest Items!
Check out the fresh new look for the Item previously known as Snow Statue, now named Dabu Snow Statue, as well as the familiar Snow Ice Cube, and Snow Artifact. These aren't the only refreshed Items we have for you today, though!
Recognise these Stamps? Allow me to introduce the new-and-improved Black Balloon Stamp and Health Stamp. They are still restocking at the Post Office.
You're probably familiar with the elusive Shield of Meteora, which the Weapons Trido likes to request for the Weapons Quest -- but what's this, now? He's heated up his forge and worked through days and nights to emblazon more emblems on his shields. Now you can march into battle with a display of pride for the Terrafrost location of your choice.
These eight new shields will be supplied by the Weapons Store, and also be requested in the Weapons Quest. You're looking at the proud symbols of the Shields of Glacia, Snowslide Mountains, Misty Isle, Halipar Jungles, Khalic Desert, Talytil Lake, Knollo Woods, and Draga Volcanoes.
If you are having trouble seeing the new artwork, try pressing Ctrl + F5.

Do you hear that? The sound of soft wings gliding down to Terrafrost. The Angelic Xephyr has descended to live among the other Angelic Pets!
The Angelic Xephyr Morphing Potion can be found in the I.C.E. Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Account members) until the end of this month, as well as Golden Touch with the other Xephyr Morphing Potions. Let this new friend breeze into your Closet and your heart!
As you might have noticed, IcePets has a new default theme! This clean, minimalistic design brings the site closer to modern times while we await the new layout. Please Note: This new layout theme is not the fully revamped layout update that we are diligently working on. We are still busy on it but sadly there is no current ETA for completion.
And last but certainly not least, we would like to announce our new moderator, @IcePrincess! Welcome to the team! As always, you can check on our IcePets Staff members by visiting the Staff page.

Summer is here, and it's time to team up for the latest Team Restocking Contest! If you've participated in the past, you already know the ropes. If this is your first time, get ready for some June madness! As always, there will be four teams: Blue Audril, Green Trido, Red Dovu, and Yellow Sharshel.
Anyone and everyone can join in, and there is no limit to the individual team size. Even if you're brand new to the site, don't be intimidated! You can still make valuable contributions to your team. How, you may ask?
As this is a restocking contest, it's all about -- you guessed it -- the team that restocks the most Items over the duration of the contest. Buying Items from any NPC shop will net your team points! It doesn't matter which shop, or which Items.
1 Item Purchase = 1 Point
There are all sorts of fancy schmancy rare-and-coveted Items as prizes, so you won't want to miss out! However, in order to be eligible for prizes, you must participate to a reasonable extent, so that means no buying 1 Item and sitting back to reap your team's rewards. You have to get out there and join the restocking frenzy!
Get hyped, because sign ups will be coming soon! Keep an eye on the news for further updates.

Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community! Here are our favourite things about Fearless:
-Fearless is one of the most active members on here! She's always kind and bringing positive energy to the site. -She puts so much into IcePets that she deserves to win more than anyone.

Welcome the brand new Island Breeze Parfait, Fruity Romper, and Water Snake Toy, which can all be purchased with tokens. If you missed out on any of the older Summer Token Booth Items, you can try to find one in the Summer Goodie Bag.
