Wow!!! We had almost 900 entries in our 2017 Pet Design Contest! You guys did an amazing job and made it very, very difficult for us to narrow it down to just ten finalists. Every submission was excellent and we think they would all make great Webkinz pets! But we had to narrow it down to just ten.

Now we want your input. While the final decision rests with the judges at Webkinz, we will take your comments into consideration when making our final choice which will be announced on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2017.

When looking at all of the creative, wonderfully executed submissions, we tried to choose finalists that had a unique twist. Sometimes it was a clever idea – like making a dragon out of dragon fruit, or a butterfly’s wings out of Webkinz Magic Ws, a turtle out of a rose, or putting monarch butterfly wings onto a dragon. Sometimes it was a unique new animal we hadn’t seen before – like a Hippocampi or an Orchid Mantis. And sometimes it was just a neat pet that we think our members would love – like a chocolate bunny, a Loch Ness monster, an axolotl, or a Jade Fu dog.

Honorable Mention:
We wanted to give a shout out to Worldcombiner for their adorable submission. The Farm Fresh Egg was one of our favorite entries. Unfortunately we couldn’t quite figure out how to make it into a Webkinz pet at this point, but who knows – maybe one day!

Farm Fresh Egg by worldcombiner
Aww I never got to make up my pet I made it but didn’t know how to send it my pet was a love dragon I really wanted to post it I’m soon sad
Wow! I didn’t know this was going on! I was really busy to get on Webkinz and I didn’t even know that this was going on! Do I have to pick? I don’t want to pick one and have someone else be mad at me for picking that one. So I just won’t vote! I think there needs to be 5 or 3 winners.
LOLZZZZ!!!
I forgot to vote! No offence Pokekinz if my comment has over 5 typos. The Hippocampus! I am going to vote for that one.
Nah, your comment looks good! I don’t think there’s a single typo in there. ^ｰ^
The Axolotl, it’s so cute!
Thank you so much for changing the name, Ganz! Sorry again about the mistake. ^^;
Oh yay! Good job on getting it changed :)
I’m glad Ganz took the time to fix it. ^ᴗ^
Most of them are very creative, I would probably Jade Fu Dog. I like all the other ones but this pet is the one I would see more people using, apposed to the Farm Fresh egg!
The hippocampus is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! I would defidly purchase it if it won the contest!!!!!!
Thanks again! ^^
I like the hippocampus the most
