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!
omg cant wait!!!!!!
this is going to awesome!!!!!!!!
Gennelle, can you suggest that there is gallery of all the bears, cats, dragons and horses so far so we don’t recreate one. I know they are in the kinzapedia but to have them all on one page would be GREAT! Thanks!
A good way would be to look up your pet idea on Google and see if it returns a Webkinz. :)
Yay! The last one was so much fun even though I wasn’t even a finalist it’s still a ton of fun to design an original Webkinz! Also that’s kinda funny, the contest opens on my birthday! :D
I have an idea! The winner of this challenge gets their pet design, made into a PLUSH!
Yay! This’ll be so much fun!! :D
Yay, I will be doing this one. Maybe I will do all 4 pets. I’ll probably use markers. Thanks for making it fair of no computer art. You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!! Even when you stopped making signatures. I’m trying to collect them all. My 2 rarest are the Sig. Koala/Sig. Dama Gazelle.
I have a cool idea for the dragon! I better get working! I didn’t enter the design a dog contest. I only have a few of the trophies and I would LOVE to be deluxe so I can’t wait for the contest to start! Good luck everyone!
Cool! I was kinda hoping we could design whatever kind of webkinz we wanted (I would do a buff laced polish rooster) But this is still cool!
I have a question for a GANZ employee, if someone could answer. I used Windows Paint last year for my entries, do this years guidelines make using that program a disqualifying feature? I was unclear on what “Software” was referencing, since a lot of paint programs come pre-downloaded on your computer and the term software is generally used on something that you would download.. Thank you in advance! :)
Paint is considered computer software and would disqualify an entry.
Okay, thank you. I guess I’ll have a better chance of winning without other players having ultra fancy computer software!
For this contest, all entries must be hand drawn without the aid of a computer.
Okay, that makes sense, thank you.
