Ella McWoof here with a very Special Report!
In honor of Webkinz’s Ten Year Anniversary, we’re holding a Design a Webkinz Contest!
To enter, choose from 1 of 4 pet templates (a horse, a cat, a bear or a dragon), design your pet and upload it to the ShareCenter! This contest will run from February 1-16th (ends at noon EST). The top 10 finalists will be revealed on Tuesday, February 17th and the winner announced on Saturday, February 21st.
We will especially be looking for pet designs that celebrate your love for Webkinz or are inspired by our 10 Year Anniversary!
The winner will receive:
- A virtual version of their winning pet
- A 1-Year Deluxe Membership
- All 10 Webkinz Day trophies (2006-2015)
A few things to remember…
- You can enter as many designs as you want!
- Contestants MUST upload their work to the Design A Webkinz Gallery on the GanzWorld Share Center. Never uploaded to the ShareCenter before? Don’t worry! It’s easy. Just watch this video to see how it’s done!
- You can use any kind of art supplies that you want — except computer software (yes, this is a change from the Design a Dog Contest last year). Want to use markers, pencil crayons, crayons, or other art materials? Go for it!
- You don’t NEED to include ideas for this pet’s adoption gifts (PSI & PSF), but feel free to draw them if you want.
- We can’t accept submissions with company logos or sports team emblems.
- Please make sure you save your images as a jpg, gif, or png.
BE SURE to visit WebkinzNewz.com on Sunday, February 1st to download the templates and get started!
What if the animal has webkinz’s logo on it?
I’m sure that’s fine. :)
I was wondering the same thing! Isn’t it fine if it has that on it, Ganz?
XDXD I think several submissions will have these. Lets just say I did write that down. But my bear idea is my fave for sure.
this is great!!!!! i have never been deluxe but have always wanted to so i am excited about this opportunity!!
Hey Gennelle. Where do we print the template? i can’t seem to find the download button
As stated in the article, the templates will be available February 1st.
I’M SO ENTERING! I’m gonna do the bear and dragon and cat. Basically all of them. HEHE. B)
I’m so glad there is another contest!
Yipeee!!!!! I am going to be doing a dragon template… Good luck to everyone!
one question: am I allowed to add wings to the horse to turn it to a pegasus?
I pretty sure that as long as you use the templates you will be fine
Probably should not add wings or make the pet fluffy, but adding hats or clothing could be great psi ideas!
Ooh i love this! me and my sister entered a lot last year. Is there only going to be a prize for the first place winner? Or will there be any for the top ten.
There will only be one winner for this contest.
yes you will have a virtual pet of the one you made or designed omg i have to try this i want to design a webkinz omg so AWESOME!!!!!
Oh my goodness! This is really exciting!!! I participated in the contest last year, unfortunately, I never won. :( This year, I really hope I do!!! I can’t wait to submit my design!!!! ;) ;D ;) ;D Just one question, can I submit more than one entry, or can I only do one?
Never mind, I just read the part that said you can submit as many as you want. Sorry about that! ;)
This is awesome! Thanks ganz! I wanted to enter the design a dog contest but I never got around to it, plus I figured that someone with fancy computer software would win anyway. I think this contest will be much fairer based on that. But I do have one concern, whenever I submit a picture to Share Center it takes about a month to get approved. Will things be sped up so i can actually get a couple designs submitted?
Don’t worry, all submissions will be reviewed and considered regardless if they’re seen on the share center or not.
Hey Matt, can I still use Paint? I don’t think that counts as Computer Software. Like, with Paint, can I still draw my own ideas, just using the computer rather than pencil and paper?
Sorry, Paint still counts as computer software.
Would we be able to use water colored paint with a brush and some water if we wanted?
Aw….thanks anyway Gennelle. I’m sorry, I was just looking forward to use Paint. However, I am very good at physical drawing! I’ll just have to use the printer and print out some templates! I am glad that I can use colored pencils though. Oh, and do I take a picture or scan it in? Or do I have the option? Sorry, but please answer again. Thanks!
I can’t wait to do this @Matt Webkinz!
Were you repling to me. If so Thanks matt webkinz.
I agree TennesseeFrogs2. A lot of the design a dog entries looked like people copied a pattern and pasted it on the dog. I didnt know how and I didnt know if it was considered cheating. Even the winning dog looked like it was generated like that. So Im happy with how they did it.
Thanks Matt, that sounds good. One more question if I may, say someone who already has deluxe wins this contest? Would they just get their year for free? Thanks again
It’s a year extension of their Deluxe Membership, I believe.
Awesome! :D
Good, I was wondering this, because I already have Deluxe. And if I win I won’t need to spend my birthday money my parents give me on it! xD
I am so excited good luck everyone
