From May 3 to 25, upload your garden designs to the Share Center for a chance to win a Room Design Trophy AND a virtual Lil Spring Songbird! Plus – all ten finalists will each receive a Hand Sculpted Bird Bath!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Design a garden Room in Webkinz World
  2. Take a screenshot of your room
  3. Upload your screenshot to the Birdwatching Garden Gallery on GanzWorld Share Center
  4. Check back on May 29 to see if you are one of ten finalists!

    Hi Froggit612, tiny19540212, frodo and GhyreGhli, Is that true that if you live in New York you can’t win any of the contests? I live in NY also. I’ve never read all of the rules. I’m going to go read the rules now. That doesn’t make any sense. Thanks to all of you for writing about it. You’re so right that’s extremely Frustrating!!!

    Can I enter more than one design? I have several garden rooms.

    • Mandy Webkinz says:

      Oh yes, doodlebug72898! You can enter as many rooms as you would like! :)

      • doodlebug72898 says:

        Oh yay! Thank you!!!

      • puppies4me says:

        @doodlebug72898, That’s so cool that you can submit as many rooms as you like! You go for it! Looking at other members’ creative rooms is one of my favorite parts of WN. That and Podkinz where you get to actually listen to the Newz Team, hear them laugh and find out what’s going on. Good luck with your rooms!

    OK I am TOO ANGRY to shop E-Store. TODAY FINALLY I got my New membership points . IT has taken a WEEK !!E=Store won’t answer phone I LOST THE DUCK TUB because of this I couldn’t finish the challenge I am so angry !!! I have lost this FOREVER because of the E-STORE I have been trying about a week to get my points !!! I am so unhappy I do not even feel like shopping :( :( :( :( :(

    • obie987 says:

      Sorry. :(

    • famille222 says:

      Sent you a friend request…I will send you a DUCK TUB…Have a nice day.

    • LivingAloha says:

      I had the same problem for two weeks trying to fix my deluxe membership. I wrote to them and through a series of emails the issue was fixed. Tell them of your issue, they will usually reimburse you for your lost items.

    • puppies4me says:

      I “lost” a limited quantity Ribbon Unicorn plushy I had purchased while they were still in stock a little while ago. Email from CS stated they couldn’t fulfill the order; would refund my money; and give me a few code for a virtual. WELL, I DON’T WANT MY MONEY BACK OR A FREE CODE!! That Ribbon Unicorn PLUSHY, all things considered about to my 4-yr-old grandson (I won’t go into a long story) would have the MOST PERFECT PRESENT for his upcoming 5th birthday!!!!! I literally cried when I got CS email. A RL friend and a WW friend on the forum were both very understanding and consoling. It’s going to take quite a while to let go of my anger over this though. As it stands, in my mind and heart, there is nothing GANZ can do to ‘fix’ this unless they ship me a Ribbon Unicorn plushy for my little guy!

    • puppies4me says:

      @tiny19540212, I’m so sorry about your experience. This delay in your membership reward points in ridiculous! I feel your anger! I pray we both will soon regain respect for GANZ eStore. (@famille222, that is very kind of you!)

      • puppies4me says:

        @dixiecup, YOU are a “kind, pleasant person”! (I would say that I usually am also, or at least try to be. But don’t mess with Nana Bear’s cub! Lol.)

    • puppies4me says:

      Hi everyone, I appologize for my pity-party over the past few days. I’m done feeling sorry for myself! YAY! It’s so much more lovely to feel free of resentment and enjoy our cool rainy day where the birds are singing anyway.

  6. Froggit612 says:

    I guess the rules are if you live in NY you cannot enter the contest just like all the other contests?

    • tiny19540212 says:

      NOPE NY gets to play none of these . Last year I spent over $200. then I found out . NOTHING extra spent this year . Their loss they do not include me then OH WELL !!

      • frodo says:

        It is a bit annoying. I entered quite a few WK contests without completely reading all the rules (I admit that it’s my fault) before I found out a New Yorker was ineligible to enter. But I would not expect to find living in NY would keep me from be able to enter a contest where the prizes were non-cash and almost entirely virtual prizes. And it’s not gambling going on either!

        • GhyreGhli says:

          I believe it is actually because of New York rules governing contests, not a choice by Ganz. But I too live in NY and it IS frustrating!

        • tigerlily1975 says:

          frodo, that comment was helpful. I can’t enter the contests either and I figured it had something to do with my states laws but wasn’t sure what. I’d probably have to ask an attorney to explain to me exactly why Floridians can’t enter a contest on Webkinz, so I could understand, LOL! I wonder if we can maybe get a petition going to send to our state governments to see if they can make an exception for Webkinz. There are always exceptions to the rules or loopholes. As long as it’s not a nuisance for the Ganz company (like being taxed extra or filing a bunch of paperwork each time a new yorker or Floridian wins), I think that would be one way we could make it happen.

  7. dixiecup says:

    LOL, my Garden Oasis that I was late in submitting to the Spring Garden contest has two hand sculpted bird baths in it. I guess I’ll go back and work on it some more.

    • EmeraldCity says:

      Can’t wait to see it dixiecup! You’ve got a head start, go go go! :D

    • puppies4me says:

      dixiecup, I almost entered the Spring room contest, but even though you explained how to do it, I still can’t figure it out, lol. I had my screenshot saved to my photos, but couldn’t firgure out how to upload it to the Share Center. I’m not bummed out about it though. I had fun making the room and I’m pleased with it. Plus I think I really enjoy seeing other members’ rooms. I’ll be looking for yours! Good luck!

    What happened to the springtime room design contest in April? I was really waiting for that!
