There are three types of Customisation Spotlights, and between two-three categories within each that your Pets can be entered into depending on which spotlight is currently running:
- The Regular Customisation Spotlight
- The Themed Free-For-All Customisation Spotlight
- The Required Item Themed Customisation Spotlight
These Spotlight contests will run in a cycle with the Regular Spotlight running every week, and every two weeks a different Themed Spotlight cycling in. An example of a schedule could look like:
Week 1
Regular Weekly Customisation Spotlight
Week 2
Regular Weekly Customisation Spotlight
Required Item Themed Contest
Week 3
Regular Weekly Customisation Spotlight
Week 4
Regular Weekly Customisation Spotlight
Themed Free-for-All Contest
The weekly Regular Customisation Spotlight is an open free-for-all competition where you can enter your Pets' customisations with no rules or requirements, except that your Pet must be equipped with at least 2 wearable/customisation items. Anything goes! Under these Spotlights, the following categories are available:
- Neopoint: for Pets who have NO Neocash or Styling Studio items equipped
- Neocash: for Pets who have one or more NC items equpped, but are NOT equipped with Styling Studio items
- Styling Studio: for Pets who are equipped with a Styling Studio item
The bi-weekly Themed Customisation Spotlight is another type of competition where you can enter your Pets' customisations with anything you like at all, but there is now a theme you should adhere to, which can be themes like "Summer" or "Faerie" or "Sloth". Under these Spotlights, the following entry categories are available:
- Neopoint: for Pets who have NO Neocash or Styling Studio items equipped
- Neocash: for Pets who have one or more NC items equpped, but are NOT equipped with Styling Studio items
- Styling Studio: for Pets who are equipped with a Styling Studio item
Finally, there's the Required Item Themed Customisation Spotlight which will run once a month. This contest is stricter and requires Neopet entrants to be wearing at least one item from a provided list. Due to the strict guidelines these contests are under, Styling Studio entrants will be rolled into the NeoCash category, which means only the following entry categories are available:
- Neopoint: for Pets who have NO Neocash or Styling Studio items equipped
- Neocash: for Pets who have one or more NC items equpped, including Styling Studio items
Your Pets will automatically be sorted into their appropriate category before you enter the contest, so there’s no way to enter into the incorrect category. We take care of that for you!
