Wow! What a fantastic response to our pet design contest! We had over 3,000 entries and as always it was tricky narrowing the list down. Because it was so difficult to choose, in honor of Webkinz’ 15th anniversary this year, we decided to select 15 finalists!
Now we want to hear what you think! The winning pet will be sold in Ganz eStore starting on Webkinz Day, April 29, 2020.
As always, we look at concepts that we believe would be a great fit for Webkinz World. We are not judging the entries based on artistic talent, but on ideas that we think would make great pets. Please keep that in mind when you make your selection. Whichever pet we select, the Webkinz art department will work their magic to make it fit the Webkinz style.
While the final decision is up to the Webkinz creative department, we will take your input in consideration when making our final choice. Check out the 15 finalists and let us know in the comments below which one is YOUR favorite.

Oh my! How did you ever decide which ones to share with us … so many of these are amazing and wonderful. Best whimsical ideas are the Moonberry Dragon & the Stained Glass Turtle. Best in “Wanna take one home now” category are the Icelandic Horse, Golden Peacock & the Elkhound. The most special ideas for the sake of Preservation are the Greater Kudu, Baby Sloth & Australian Cattle Dog. Everyone was so awesome to work on these designs and submit them for the community. Thank you to all the designers!
They are all amazing, but my favorites is the Moonberry Dragon. The Australian Cattledog is really well done, too.
My favorites are the Stained Glass Turtle and the Cactus Cat!!
