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!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FINALISTS! Awesome job everyone. My favorite is the Galaxy pup. I wouldn’t want to be one of the judges in this contest. There were so many great enteries. I can understand the disappointment of those who entered & didn’t make the 10 finalists. Maybe you could design a badge for their “my page” showing that they participated in this awesome contest. Just a thought & maybe it would help some of the disappointment they are feeling for not being selected. CLS954 aka cinderlou9 aka Berry Fingers crossed that this comment makes it!
Adorable! Great job everyone. My favorites are the orange slice pup, Tiger Lily pup and the galaxy pup.
and i really wish my cream puff dog was picked.
I love the Tigerlily Pup and the Bathtime Bubbles Pup best, but the others are certainly creative. I know that I personally could’ve never even thought of them!
actually you cant buy them. the person that designed the pup would get a virtual of it on there account.
I did some sports pups, They should start a series of sports pups(baseball,football,basketball,soccer)
They are all awesome!! Good luck everyone! :)
Although I wish mine was chosen, at least the idea mine followed is in the list :) … however, I personally like the design of the galaxy puppy best. That is definitely one I would consider purchasing. How fitting that I am watching Cosmos right now :D
i really like the orange slice puppy, i think its very creative, and kinda matches the fruit theme :D
These are all really great but i’m a little disappointed on the dogs they chose. I’m not saying that mine where the best but i really thought some of mine might’ve at least gotten in the top 10. But i did see many others that i thought where just as good. But congratulations to everyone who got in the top 10
