We’re so amazed by the 6000+ fantastic entries we received during the Design-a-Dog Contest that we chose an entire Top 10 finalists list!
Out of these 10 entries, 1 will be revealed as the contest winner on Webkinz Day, Tuesday, April 29! They’ll walk away with a 1-year Deluxe Membership, a virtual version of the winning pet, and (bonus!) all 5 prizes from the Kinzville Academy creativity class.
Our 9 runners-up will walk away with a virtual version of the winning pet, too!
Congratulations to our finalists. Let us know in the comments who you think should win!

**UPDATE (April 28, 12:00PM EST)
We’d like to address two common concerns among our players since this article has been published.
1) Some players have expressed concern that though the contest officially ended Friday, April 25 at midnight, these finalists were posted early on Saturday morning, even though a number of last-minute entries hadn’t appeared in the ShareCenter yet. We’d like to assure everyone that every single entry to this contest was seen by Friday, April 25 at midnight, and all of them were taken into careful consideration before our team compiled their Top Ten list. The decision to post the Top Ten list on Saturday morning was to ensure that Webkinz Newz readers had time to see the finalists over the weekend and tell us their favorites before the big Webkinz Day winner reveal.
2) Other players have also expressed concern that several of the Top Ten finalists seem to have been done with computer software. According to the official rules, this is acceptable. We want to stress that we were delighted with every entry we received, regardless of the artist’s choice of coloring tool (crayons, computer software, markers, etc — there was a big range!). To that end, our Top Ten contains examples of different types of coloring tools that reflect the wide range of entries we received.
We hope that everyone remains a good sport and congratulates the finalists on their achievement as we count down the hours to the big reveal on Webkinz Day, Tuesday April 29!
I love all of them, it’s really hard to say what draw’s the best. :D
Great finalists! How about making them available for sale for like $1 each and all proceeds go to a charity. I’d buy them all!!
I like all of them, but my favorites are the Galaxy Pup and the Sparky Pup. The detail in each of the dogs is amazing! Keep up the good work!
I like the tiger lily pup :)
They all should win!! But I actually really like the Bathtime Bubble Pup, Orange Slice Puppy and Legendary Webkinz Lab.
Great puppies! We like Shooting Star Pup!
I think they are all great, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Bathtime Bubble pup.
Love them all! I wish they could all win!! Cinema pup, Chili Dog, Sparky pup, Tiger Lily pup and Orange slice pup are my favorites! i hope Cinema pup or Orange slice pup win! -Wishtuli on AW- P.S. i cant believe i did this and i need to brag to somebody about this (lol), but last night i stayed up till 4:30 A.M. and woke up at 7:45, i fell asleep later though, (most likely cuzz we think i have a cold,) and i wasnt tired for a few hours :D
Some of these are really cute! I like the Galaxy Puppy the best.
They are all so very good! Great work artists! I love them all.
