The votes for the Poetry Contest have been tallied. Each and every poem we received was amazing -- the IcePets community is simply bursting with creativity! It was a very close call, but now, it's time to reveal the winners!





In 3rd place we have @Tchaikovsky! You will receive the Bronze Contestant Trophy, 100 Amourok Shop Points, 1 random Heart Breaker prize from 2020, a copy of Passionate Poetry, and 75,000 IcePoints. Nice work!

Everyone who submitted a poem will be featured in the Passionate Poetry book! If you'd like to get a copy, check the shelves of Ralph's Page Turners; it'll be restocking periodically. It will also be rewarded by the Weapons Quest, and requested by the Book Quest in one week.

The winners should be able to find their prizes already awarded in their Inventory. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's poetry contest -- we hope you had fun and will join us again next year!

Welcome to March! We have so many valuable members of our community, and every month we like to shine a spotlight on two of them. Starting this month, there will not be any quoted testimonials attached to our amazing winners. Why? We have had many months when Users didn't know what to say in their nomination, and sometimes were hesitant to even put a nomination through if the User wasn't well known on the forums. It is our hope that this small change will allow members to nominate people they genuinely feel should be given a spotlight for the month, even if that person's kind acts and loyalty to IcePets may be in methods other than posting on our forums. We don't want members to think they don't stand a chance if they aren't comfortable making a lot of posts. Just be kind, be yourself, and your friends here will notice! Without further ado I give to you our regular news post.

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)! This month, both of our winners fall under the Yet to Win MOTM category! Everyone say congratulations to...



@Fluffy123 and @Maelittles



You both will receive 100,000 IcePoints and this exclusive Hidden Avatar:



Thank you both for being part of the IcePets community. We couldn't be the place we are without members like you!

The Cherry Blossom Snowglobe can be found at the Toy Trunk while the The Little Troot That Could can be found at Ralph's Page Turners. The Cherry Blossom Snowglobe is now rewarded by the Plushie Quest and will be requested by the Space Quest in one week. The Little Troot That Could will be rewarded by the Weapon Questimmediately and requested by Book Quest in one week.





The plants across Terrafrost are slowly becoming more green, and the Token Booth has changed its stock accordingly. You can now find Bonsai Tree Stamp, Daffy, and Honeycomb Ice Cube stocking for Tokens until the beginning of Summer. The Spring Goodie Bag has also been rotated back in, containing spring-themed Items from previous years.
