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.

The winner will have their design turned into a real virtual pet in Webkinz World and they will receive a code for their pet when it is added to Webkinz World. They will also receive a 1 Month Deluxe Membership to Webkinz, a virtual Pet Design Trophy, and all ten finalists will each receive a 6 pack of 2020 Winterfest Cookies, courtesy of Ganz eStore.
My favorites are the cactus cat, and Australian cattle dog and the elkhound.
I love the moonberry dragon! I like the turtle, it is so cute. I also like the golden peacock! Great job everyone.
I will have a hard choosing as I LOVE all of the finalists. Pittiesrule
Congratulations to all the finalists I love all the pictures but my favorites are the cactus cat tapir and the bubble google
These are all incredible, but I LOVE the pangolin. What a good idea, and a great way to bring some awareness to one of the world’s most trafficked (illegally) animals. Not to mention they’re adorable :)
Also a big fan of the cactus cat!
Agree 100% on the pangolin!
My favorites (in no particular order): Tanuki, Stained Glass Turtle, Icelandic Horse, and Baby Sloth.
Yay thanks for featuring my bubble googles!! The gimmick is that it’s supposed to be see-through it’s kinda hard to tell here haha
Awww i submitted 65 and worked so hard… Thats ok these are rly cool tho
Don’t feel bad, your entries were great! 65 entries, wow! I applaud your effort :) Apparently, my ideas are never good enough, hehe. Oh, well. Maybe next time :) Congrats to the rest of the finalists!
Thanks, yours are great too!
I love the Golden Peacock. Congrats to all the finalists!
LOVE these, tough competition!! My favorites are: Stained Glass turtle (as long as its back shell is just as pretty, maybe feet too??), the patched giraffe is a super cute idea! Could use a lot of room themes with it.
I have to say that the Australian cattle dog doesn’t really look like one (I don’t mean the colors, but the face+ears)
