When about generally does this begin?

Im debating on waiting to start a project if its coming up soon?

I think may but not 100% sure. Good plan is book your tickets now for then if your going with a ticketed entry

What is it, exactly?

What is what ?

The mascot contest! 

I thought the Mascot Contest started in January, but actually, Kaly may be right on it being in May. I agree that it's good to get a start now, as everything gets to be dredges during that time.

@Jaya  - The Mascot Contest is something that is held yearly here on HP. There are always 4 categories categories. No ticket Horse or dog and ticket horse or dog. On the first day, players will choose whether to go alone or with a group and the animal they're working on for the contest. Then on the second day, they have to write a backstory on their chosen animal and give them a custom image. Horses/dogs will be thinned out over time if they drop out or do not hit the selected dates for each event. At the very end, players will then take a vote on the animal they like best and that is how the winner is chosen.

@R.oxxy - You're welcome! Excited to see what horse you enter this year! :) 

This year sign up for the Mascot Contest began in mid-January and the Contest officially started on February 11! You can look back on events that happened on HP if you go to News > Calendar and scroll through the months!

It’ll start sometime in January or February, but I’m not sure of the exact date yet!

Thanks to everyone who replied!
