It’s back to school time and we want to see your Fashion Forward ideas! This is your chance to design a new uniform for the Kinzville Academy! We welcome all types of uniforms – school uniforms, sports team uniforms, club uniforms, teacher uniforms, maybe even a school mascot! Who knows? Let your imagination decide!
The winning design will be made into a uniform (boy and girl versions) in Webkinz World, and the winner will receive a one year virtual Pet of the Month subscription! 9 Runners up will each receive a Fall Mystery Bag!
The contest runs from Sept. 1 – 30. You can enter as many designs as you want!
Contestants MUST upload their work to the KVA Uniform Gallery on the GanzWorld Share Center.
Never uploaded to the ShareCenter before? Don’t worry! It’s easy. See how it’s done! You can use any kind of art supplies that you want. Feel free to use markers, pencil crayons, crayons, or other art materials. Go for it!
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.

Can we copy/paste the Kinzville Academy logo on to our design?
When I click “Browse” it won’t let me browse for my uniforms, therefore I can not enter!

Awesome contest! I will be sure to enter. But just wondering- why does Ganz always need to divide everything into two genders? (Does pet gender really matter? My “boy” pets can wear dresses if they choose.) Ganz should really stop conforming to these archaic gender roles and just advertise their products as genderless. I encourage players to make a new school uniform that remains genderless that any pet can feel comfortable and look great in!
Some people, like myself, want different styles for different pets. Most people probably wouldn’t want to put their boys in a dress, but would still want that as an option for others. :)
I like the idea of having both boy and girl outfits. In the end you get more clothing, right! :D
Hey monkeyfun15…I just saw your submission for the Thanksgiving background, and I LOVE IT!! So creative and original (unlike mine XD) and the shading is beautiful!
Oh wow, thanks so much FoxesRule612! I like your drawing as well! I love the little birds holding up the Thanksgiving sign! :D So cute! the other day I was looking at all the submissions, and I came across one that just made me burst out laughing! XD It was done by SpringBreeze. Really clever and funny! Here’s a link to it! http://share.ganzworld.com/thanksgivinghomepage?id=43058&sort=Newest%2Bto%2BOldest
HAHA! That’s cute!! I’ve seen that one before, actually! =D
This is late so you probably won’t see this, but I completely agree boper911! While I obviously don’t mind outfits that have traditionally male or female components, it is definitely not a necessity. I drew a few different outfits for this contest, and one included a boy and girl version, but the others were all genderless. For example, cafeteria workers can be boy or girl (or anything in between :) ), as can custodians, so I drew my outfits so they could look great on any gender. And like you said, I dress my boy pets in dresses as well! :D Thanks for bringing this up, as I thought the same thing when I read the description!
What is a virtual pet of the month subscription?
You get the virtual pet of the month each month. :-) (Like, if you have it now you’d have gotten the puggle pup. And then next month’s POTM, etc.)
This looks like a fun contest! Good luck to all who enter! I can’t wait to enter! I have a question. Do you have to draw it on a pet?
Yay! Ok I have one question, can you draw however you like to draw then you turn it into Webkinz form?
I’ll try if I have time! XD Say, that’s a cute little dragon up there! Never seen him before. Looks kinda like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon. ;P
Yes! I thought the same thing, FoxesRule612! You should check out the theme in the estore under the Webkinz Spotlight. It’s called “Dragon Hero”. When I saw the wallpaper, furniture, and dragons, it was definitely an OMGoodness moment! It’s probably going to be high on the wishlist of all HTTYD fans.
Cool! I’m totally doing this. There have been so many designing contests! I didn’t do the homepage… It was too hard! I tried but I couldn’t do it!
I have a lot of ideas for teacher outfits. But does it have to look like an actual uniform?
Huh.. designing clothes.. we’ll have to see if I can get myself to try. =P I’m not the best at that sort of thing.
