Welcome!

Welcome chewy_crash to Speculation! A SOTM (Site of the Month) and GOTM (Graphic of the Month) competition site. Here you can enter your Neopets site or a custom graphic to see if it can get the highest amount of votes and join in spirited competition with other sites from all around Neopia! If it does you can win a award. Even if you enter the SOTM you can win an award. So enter your site or graphic or just vote for your favorite site. Regardless of whether you win or loose, have a good time and good luck! (: This is not a copy of Speculation. I, bump_set_spike_it, was asked to help Chewy with the new filter changes.

Winner

The winner for the December/January SOTM competition was Rivulet Premades! Aly make awesome lookups of all sorts. They are really high quality and professional looking! Rivulet won with a total of 12 votes! Quite a lot! You should totally go visit Rivulet and maybe even use one of her cute quality lookups!

Runner Up
The runner of the December/January SOTM competition was the awesome Aurora with 7 votes! Her site used to be known as Beautiful Rescue but after a break, Elizabeth came back and created a newly revamped site names Aurora! The site is better then ever and offers amazing buttons. She also has made a few layouts and they are amazing! You should go check out Aurora today and maybe request a button!

Recent GOTM winner
The winner for December and January GOTM are...

Quinns banner was very original and unique! She used many different colors and textures! Her banner won with a total of 2 votes! Overall it was a creative style of banner. Quinn has been in the GOTM competition before this so glad she got to win this one! Remember Quinn now you can only enter a button or Icon!

Madeline's button was truly amazing winning with 2 votes! I really adore her site The Studio! She makes really high quality buttons, this was the first time she has entered the GOTM and won! That is awesome. It shows in this button though, the color, text, and animation are awesome. Good job Madeline and keep up the awesome work!

Now there were three winners for the Icon of the Month! Wow! KTC, Aly, and Mikans icons all won with a tie of 1 vote! They were all really nice icons with different styles. KTC owns the site Dreams are Reality and her buttons are amazing! Her icon it not bad either! Go check out DAR! Aly also won the SOTM... Lucky Ducky. But her button was really awesome with the color changes, font, and overall design, really nice icon. And Mikans button was also really nice. Overall awesome GOTM competition.

Sister Site

Mignon Ink is an amazing competition site! (: It is owned by the awesome Morgen who also is in my guild Endless Dreaming! Morgen is one of my best neofriends! Mignon Ink is a very high quality site, ranked number one at Soroptimist! There used to be so many activities besides just SOTM and BOTM before it went on a hiatus and came back. Though it is still an amazing site! Mignon Ink is adding more activities everyday! So hurry and go visit MI! Oh, and Two thumbs up for Mignon Ink! :D

Cousin Sites

This is Dreamer. Yeah you might remember when the site was just based as a review site. But now it is based as a competition site! She still offers mini reviews along with many other fun and exciting extras! Don't believe me, when I am telling you Dreamer is an awesome SOTM site, well go see Dreamer for yourself!
