We’re so amazed by theĀ 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 really shouldn’t of gotten my hopes up thinking i would be a finalist :’( well i guess all thats left to say is congrats for the real finalists. now I’m going too my room to cry
TIGER LILY PUP! TIGER LILY PUP! TIGER LILY PUP!
ORANGE SLICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Really orangey. HA! get it.
There are a few of the contest finalist pups I really like, but if I have to pick my favorite one, it has to be the Bathtime Bubble Pup.
I think cinema pup is great along with orange slice and bath time bubbles. Everyone did a great job!
AWWWW NONE OF THESE ARE MINE!!!But amazing job to the finalist and everyone who entered!!! :)
I really love the Bathtime Bubble Pup and the Chili Dog (GOOD LUCK CHILI DOG) :D
I kind of hoped mine would win. http://share.ganzworld.com/designadog?id=19065&sort=My%2BImages I drew all of mine by hand and they were original, but congratulations to all who won.
My favorite one that are listed is the chili dog and the sparky dog. They look the best and look original. Also some other ones I think should have been listed is the fairy sparkle pup and maybe the mustache one should have and they are top rated too. I wish mine would have won too. You can see the picture I drew on my other comment.
my favorite is probably the sparky pup. C’mon, kattattack952, you can do it!
Tigerlily Pup, Galaxy Pup, and and Lilly Pad Pup are my favorites. They are really pretty and I would love to see the plush designs on these!
