We've announced the grand-prize winner of the Create Your Dream Island contest. To read about the winning entry, Arabian Nights Island, click here.
We're also featuring the 10 runners-up, in alphabetical order. Today's runner-up is:
Symphony Island, submitted by Erika M. of Nebraska!
The pitch: Karl Notune hates music -- and has an evil plan! It's up to you to save the music before it's too late!
Why we liked it: Now that we have music and sound effects on Poptropica, it's a great idea to make a whole Island about music. Erika suggested that players would be able to play many different instruments -- including piano, saxophone, and drums -- and gave us a funny villain in "Karl Notune." This entry rocked!

We asked Erika, whose avatar name is Fast Fire, a few questions. Here are her answers!
That does it for all of the winners. Once again, we got so many wonderful entries from Poptropica players -- far more than we had prizes for. Our thanks to everybody who submitted an entry!
