Update: We had such a great response to this year’s contest that it is taking us a little longer than we expected to choose the finalists. We will announce the 10 finalists on Friday, February 12, 2021.
Happy New Year! A new year calls for a new pet design contest! We would like you to design a new Webkinz Classic pet that will be sold by Ganz eStore starting on Webkinz Day – April 29, 2021!
Here’s how it works:
Between January 1 and 31, design a pet that you think would make a great addition to Webkinz World! It can be any kind of pet you like! You can use one of the templates provided below or you can create your own drawing. You can enter as many times as you like!
You can use any kind of art supplies that you want – markers, pencil crayons, crayons, or other art materials. 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.
You don’t need to include a suggestion for the pet’s PSI and PSF but you can if you want!
Submit your drawing to the Pet Design 2021 Gallery in the Share Center by January 31, 2021.
Wait until February 7, 2021 to see if your design is one of the 10 finalists.
The winner will have their design turned into a real virtual pet in Webkinz World and they will receive a code for their pet when it is added to Webkinz World. They will also receive a 1 Month Deluxe Membership to Webkinz, a virtual Pet Design Trophy, and all ten finalists will each receive a 6 pack of 2021 Winterfest Cookies, courtesy of Ganz eStore.

how do we know who won?
Are they ever gonna post them?!?!
I hope they do because I can’t wait to see who won.
Agreed, 100% guys. I’m REALLY Eager.
i did retreivers and food pets hope one of them wins good luck!
Hello everyone! I love everyone’s entries so much! Some of them are so creative! Like the Chocolate Dragon that MMTaffyM actually sewed. I wish everyone the greatest of luck in the contest!
I made the Spring Kitten, Cuddly Pitbull and Nostalgia Pup. they mostly weren’t really well liked but i hope you guys enjoyed them :)
i doubt i won but these designs were just for fun. have a great day and good luck everybody :)
Some of my pet designs I submitted later are showing in the gallery, while ones I submitted before still haven’t shown up :( I hope they are reviewed soon.
There are a lot of really cool pet designs this year! I especially love the Hairless Cat. I know lots of people think they’re ugly, but sphynx cats are actually very sweet and loving pets!
I love sphynx cats so much. They may have no hair but that doesn’t mean they are different from other cats!
I know! They actually have a light covering of fuzz, and people who own them have described them as feeling like a warm peach! Plus, you can dress them in little sweaters! <3! Doesn't that sound so cute?
So adorable!
How does the 1-month Deluxe membership work if the winner is already a Deluxe member? Does it extend your membership by one month?
You’d receive it as a code. You can apply it to whatever account you want. If you have a current membership, you’ll need to turn off auto-renew and then apply the code once your current deluxe membership expires
Thanks Sally! :)
I submitted my Chocolate Dragon, but my first submission was such a large image that no one can read the descriptions I put in it, so I re-uploaded it in segments so that the pet description, PSF, and PSI could be read.
I had the same problem! Some of the letters and arrows got cropped off. PS: Sally, Michel, Mandy, and Steve, the note for you is under the next line of text. My arrow got cropped off. :)
I LOVE your Chocolate Dragon. And you hand sewed it? That is AMAZING! I would never have thought of something like that. You are so creative MMTaffyM!
Thank you so much! I made in back in 2019 and thought it might make a good entry for this contest. I also made plushes of the Webkinz Griffin, and the Webkinz Magical Hippogriff.
Buckbeak forever!
I really wish I could find out which design won.
OK I saw the finalist reveal date, February 7. I thought that maybe the Webkinz crew was just really backed up on work or something haha.
Because I misremembered the date as February 1st.
Though there was a bit of a delay, you can now find my ili pika and shepsky pup on the webkinz share center. Do check them out! And good luck to all the fellow contestants!
RiverTheWhite Adorable skepsky! Looks just like your real pet! And I knew about pikas some years ago, to me they look like a little bunny became a tiny fluff ball with round ears, so cute!
Thank you! Your dragon was really awesome as well! I’m really impressed you made a plushy of your idea!
