WINNER ANNOUNCED!!!

First of all – thank you again to everyone who entered our 2017 Pet Design Contest. We can’t say enough how difficult it has been to choose a winner. There were almost 900 amazing entries which we narrowed down to a list of ten wonderful finalists. We read your comments and we discussed it among our team.

 

We decided to go with a unique pet based on a real animal that we think will make a great addition to the Webkinz family. The adorable Axolotl by Taydarsauce is our winning design and will be available in the eStore starting on Webkinz Day 2017.

Congratulations to Taydarsauce who will receive a Pet Design Trophy, 1 Year of Deluxe, and a code for the Axolotl when it becomes available.

 

And congratulations to our 9 runners up and 1 honorable mention who will each receive 1 month of Deluxe. Look for a message at the email associated with your GanzWorld account by end of day tomorrow.

 

Please join us in congratulating Taydarsauce! And do you have suggestions for a PSI and PSF for the Axolotl? Taydarsauce made some suggestions that we will take into consideration but we would love to hear your ideas too. Let us know in the comments below.

    I wish that the Hippocamp by Pokekinz had won, I LOVED that design. Congratulations, @taydarsauce, and congratulations to all of the finalists and everyone who participated in the contest. I love every single design I saw and I honestly wish that GANZ could make them ALL into Webkinz pet’s :) Great job, everyone, and if you didn’t win, just keep on going! You will win someday!

    Very disappointed..this looks like a moshi monster not a webkinz pet!!

      well i love it u should encourage tayrdarsauce and dont be disappointed its such a cute pet. It not supposed to look like a normal webkinz that is why they chose it because it is a brand new pet that has never been on webkinz before u should look it up its a underwater salmander found in mexico. :D It looks just like the real pet it is adorable.

        i love all webkinz pet designs because not only are they cute but that person spent such a long time thinking of what animal to make, drawing the design, and posting it. I am proud of all of the pets. :) Congrats to not only the winners but all of the webkinz that were drawn out there. :D

      That’s not nice! It’s very good. It’s hard to draw on the computer! She did WAY better then I could do.

  4. greenmagic77 says:

    I would name is mable(gravity falls), princess bubblegum (adventure time), pearl, opal, or maybe cotton candy

    For the Axolotl PSI… I like that taydarsauce’s original design looked like it could be a bed, chair or swimming pool. Since axolotls are amphibious, I wonder if there is there a way to program the item so the pet could swim in the water to the parade float, then sit on it?

  6. bunniesareevil3231 says:

    will this be available as a plush or just virtual?

  7. DworkinBarimen says:

    Since the axolotl is a type of salamander, I think the PSI and PSF (or at least one of them) should include the word “salamander”. That might encourage people to learn more about the axolotl, since they are a critically endangered species in Mexico.

    • poofmon says:

They will post by at least the end of today. I wrote a little note to the winners in the description of the new pics.

    Congratulations to you, Taydarsauce! I am feeling pretty dumb- I don’t know what kind of animal this is :( Is it a water animal? Anyway, it is darling, and congrats on the design of cute little girl!!!

  10. RornDoone says:

    Sooooo adorably cute! Congratulations, Taydarsauce! This one’s a winner with me, too! He’s also commonly called a water dog or a walking fish. I think his PSI needs to be a hidey-hole (maybe a cave-bed or an ancient Mexican temple-hidey-bed?) and his PSF could be a black worm (or blood worm) enchilada, to give a nod to his native geographical location in the lakes of Mexico City! Of course, he would absolutely NEEEED an underwater room! Oh, I’m excited!!!

    • Pokekinz says:

      Ooh, I like the Black Worm Enchilada idea (I would go with “Black Worm”, because it sorta reminds me of “Black Bean”, and I think black beans sometimes go in enchiladas).
