Happy New Year! A new year calls for a new pet design contest! We would like you to design a new Webkinz Classic pet that will be sold by Ganz eStore starting on Webkinz Day – April 29, 2023!
Here’s how it works:
Between January 1 and 31, 2023 design a pet that you think would make a great addition to Webkinz World! It can be any kind of pet you like! You can use one of the templates provided below or you can create your own drawing. You can enter as many times as you like!
You can use any kind of art supplies that you want – markers, pencil crayons, crayons, or other art materials. While we will not accept images that have computer generated patterns or graphics copied and added to them, participants may use programs like Paint or Photoshop to color and draw freehand. 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.
You don’t need to include a suggestion for the pet’s PSI and PSF but you can if you want!
Submit your drawing to the Pet Design 2023 Gallery in the Share Center by January 31, 2023.
Then wait to see if your design is one of the 10 finalists.
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 10,000 eStore Points, a virtual Pet Design Trophy, and all ten finalists will each receive a 6 pack of 2023 Winterfest Cookies, courtesy of Ganz eStore.

Good luck!
we’re allowed to submit more than one entry right?
Yes you can definitely have more than one entry!
Phew, just finished a big batch of drawings: thirteen in total! I had a lot of fun designing them all and might do even more later on! (:
Oh wow thats impressive! Normally I only get thirteen done in all lol.
Thanks haha (: I’ve done 18 now in total: i don’t understand why, but people vote hand-drawn designs very poorly. None of my entries currently have above a 4
Don’t worry — their votes don’t factor at all into the judging. We love hand-drawn designs!
Thank you, Sally! I myself love the hand-drawn ones!
i don’t think my pet will win it doesn’t have much detail
It might not win, but I’m sure it looks amazing!
I don’t know if they will see this, but forestsprite, I LOVE your Air Fawn so much!!!
oh lol, I think she entered that and that became a finalist some years ago
I know they did, but they made a improved version which they entered in this contest.
How come none of my entries have been posted? :(
A lot of the office has been on vacation for the holidays and moderation hasn’t begun yet. Please be patient.
Hi! This is very cool! But I think theres a problem with the bear template! When I clicked on it, I get the Horse Template instead!
Change the search bar word from “horse” to “bear”, and it should work.
Thanks for letting us know! Fixed now. :)
When I try and press the bear template, the horse template comes up. Please help!
You need to change the search bar word from “horse” to “bear”. Then it should work.
How do I save the dog template to my computer as a jpg? It will only let me save to my computer as a png and one of my apps called paint only wants me to have a jpg of it. Thanks!
i accidentally cut off a bit of my pets leg is that ok
It’s totally ok! The drawings don’t need to be perfect! :)
Why can’t I see any entries?
They haven’t been moderated yet.
How long does it take to moderate the designs?
Depends on how busy we get.
