So what are you waiting for? Download the templates and get started! We’re looking forward to see what you come up with!
Yay! I love these contests so much!
Since I can’t use a printer, could I trace the template?
Webkinz Halloween pet contest? what?! Summer is not even anywhere near over! Why r they doing a halloween webkinz contest?
It takes time to create new pets. In order for the winning pet to be ready for Halloween, they have to start making it by mid-July.
Quick question – why do some of these contest allow computer illustrated entries, while others don’t? I know programs like MS Paint are the only way I can enter, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Thanks in advance!
It says in the rules that you can use any kind of art suppiles except for computer software, like MS paint.
That’s exactly why I was wondering why some contests have that restriction and others don’t…maybe I’m missing something, but it seems sort of random to me!
Heh, no computer software art programs to draw them. Yeah, because we can’t add lighting, fades, mixes and sparkles with pens and markers and whatnot. Good point.
Oh such a great contest!
I only enter a bat, and an owl drawing. I hope I win. I’ve never won a contest on webkinz.
I wish you the best of luck, PEEBLES1973
Any chance we could have a Webkinz spider for a Halloween pet this year? That would be really cool. It could sleep in a web or something!
omg that would be sooo cool, 38specialk!!!!! i love it!!
That would be awesome!!! I would sooooo get one
There is a Spiderweb bed, which i have 2 of them.
YESSS! I want a cute tarantula.
Of course I have so many ideas, but live in New York. this sucks.
Sally, did you guys mean that the actual winner will be announced July 15, or the finalists? =)
I hope the snake version wins. Looks awesome and Ganz has been due a long time for a new snake webkinz! I’ve got an idea of what it should look like!
I do too! It’s been way too long since we have had a new snake. I am actually thinking about a design myself.
I’m hoping for a snake or a bat. It’s been too long since we had either of those! I made a Candy Corn bat and a Spiderweb Snake today, and they are under moderation right now! :)
