BIG NEWZ [Feb. 12, 10:30AM] — We’ve extended the deadline until Tuesday, February 17 at 10AM (EST), so you have more time to submit entries!
I’m ready to enter! :)
Ooooh, I’m so excited!!! I really hope I can win this thing!! This is the first art contest on Webkinz I’ve ever entered. Fingers double-triple crossed!!
Mine, too! I really hope I win, because I have never EVER won a contest in my whole life, no kidding.
I’m actually not sure I’m going to be able to enter, because our good scanner is reeeaaally complicated, and I’m not sure my dad is really gonna try to figure it out. :|
You can also take a picture and upload it, if that helps?
Heheh, turns out I was right: My dad didn’t figure it out. My mom did. And it’s a jpg file, so I just uploaded my pictures. They’re the “Webkinz Arcade Cub”, the “Webkinz Fashion Feline”, and the “Webkinz Diamond Dragon” (Which is NOT a copy of the Purple Crystal Dragon, I drew this before I even saw that).
Hey Pokeinz! Welcome to your first drawing contest! (: I remember last year When for the puppy design contest that I drew a Fruit puppy or something like that the next thing I know there are even more fruit oriented puppies! I was thinking what!!!??? ~lavadragon~ I can’t wait to see the picture of your dragon!
Well, it’s not my first drawing contest, just the first one I’ve entered on Webkinz. :P I’m goiing to the Share Center now to check out your drawings, lavadragon!
Aww thanks Pokekinz! I just checked, I don’t see them :/ I guess I will just enter them all again… sigh… (:
GO MOMS! (I’m not a mom, I just love mine.)
Gennelle ,how do you know if you won?
I have no idea at all! (Which is a surprise)
wow I may have to enter this! I LOVE to draw so this will be very fun!
I think I’ll design a few of each! Good luck to everyone! :-)
Thanks, good luck to you too! :D
ya , good luck to everybody !!!!!!!
Does this mean we can draw our own? Or are we just coloring? Add me: anddey
Anddey, what you do is save the image and print it out then just color in and draw your designs on the template.
Yes! Another design contest! :D
I have a question…would it be okay if we just drew the pet not using the template? The computer I use isn’t hooked up to a printer. :( I would still be drawing one of the horse cat dragon or bears but I can’t print anything.
Hey if you just trace it off a computer then outline it with Sharpie after… no one will notice.. lol Just try that =P
;)
Smart Idea! emiemiemiemiemi
he he i traced it then i saw you had to do it on a real paper :P and do i have you on my friends list emiemiemiemiemi?? do you have a pet named Candy?!?
You should do that thats what i did
why no computer? i dont have a printer D:
Neither do I! I was so excited to enter, but then I saw the part that said ‘no computer technology’ and I can’t enter now :( I had an amazing idea for a dragon :’(
Aw I’m sorry…you could ask a friend to print them..?
Hey if you just trace it off a computer then outline it with Sharpie after… no one will notice.. lol Just try that =P
I admit that I believe maybe at least Paint should have been allowed. But I see where they are coming from and I do agree. I’m sorry you guys. :’(
Aww thats to bad, do you have a library with printers and computers? I think the no computer program idea was to level the playing field a bit, for people like me who arent very good at it….. Lol
Yeah, I think so too. I also am terrible at computer art! xD Haha, you should have SEEN me trying to draw a rose on there! xD IT WAS HILARIOUS!!! I just kinda stick to drawing with paper and pencil now, lol. ;D
Yeah I stick with the “classical” way!
Haha, ok, we are “classical”! I like the sound of that! Lol!
Haha =] That’s me too! I’m pretty bad myself at computer art.. Although.. (not trying to brag) I am pretty good at doing pencil and paper. I can make realistic animals as long as I look at a picture.
Exact same with me, lol. ;) I wish I could post my drawing of the Signature Wild Dog…
But obviously I’m not using any templates…
Ugh, I meant I’m not using any templates for my siggy dog that I drew, not for my contest entries!! All of my contest entries were made following the rules, and therefore were made with the templates!
that’s kind of funny i saw your comment and was like omg i can’t believe her how could she and then i read your comment below and i’m like oops i think i over reacted a little bit sorry prprprprp
I’m so sorry :(
I think there arent computers because last year (even the winner a little) used stuff from the internet or higher advanced computer stuff and paisted them on their pets and didnt really draw them.
Who is going to judge the entries?
We have a team here at Webkinz HQ who will be judging.
Question! Do they have to be Webkinz-Day based, or is that just strongly suggested?
I would say… strongly suggested.
I’m going for Webkinz-themed things for sure. :D
Okay, thanks Gennelle! :D
Gennelle! could you please answer mee??? It is important. Is it okay if I add things like, Making the wings longer on a dragon or making the cat have long hair..? Is this okay? Will you accept them if I add things like this?? I have a lot of ideas that change them slightly.
She said yes to that multiple times
HEY FRACKTAIL!!!!! I miss you so much… did you know that princejackson5 left? ***MidnightQueen***
Really? That’s too bad…best of luck to princejackson5, if you can see this! Yeah, I know I said I’d be leaving, but this contest was just too good to pass up…I’ll probably be hanging around the comments section still, just not in the forums. That way, I can still talk to you and do stuff on Webkinz, but I won’t be so invested that it gets in the way of other things! Which is pretty much what happened before. I have Internet problems. :D
Oh, I didn’t even know you quit? Sad to hear that.
Also, is anyone else getting this? I can’t submit the images.. I hit the submit images button and nothing happens. It stays on the same page D: I can’t even put my pictures in..
I think you have to log in first; sometimes when I open the Share Center, it randomly logs me out so I have to log back in. (It usually takes me a while to notice that, though. :P)
LOL!
Haha, well, good to have you back for a little while! And yes, I might have Internet problems too, but unlike you, I guess I’m not doing much fun stuff other than this! I wonder if any of my Webkinz designs would be good enough to be chosen winner… good luck, you’ll be really good! ***MidnightQueen***
Thanks, you too! I’ll be really happy if one of our designs get chosen, at least for runners-up. (Will there be runners-up? i hope there’s runners-up)
xD LOL Fracktail you were right lol…. I wasn’t logged in… lol…. DUR DE DURRR… check that your logged in next time, emily..
I doubt I’m going to win because I couldn’t think of any webkinz themed things except just like putting a ton of webkinz signs all over a webkinz.. lol. I hope they give people that couldn’t think of an Anniversary pet a chance too!
I think that for the people who didn’t make Webkinz-themed pets, they could make a “special mentions” update or something. I don’t know about you, but if my art were just recognized in a post then I wouldn’t mind not winning a prize.
Sorry I haven’t been posting to you… been busy. I submitted a Podkinz transcript earlier tonight, it took me all afternoon to write it! Are you ever going to be back on Webkinz World? And what if you do win this contest? It comes with a Deluxe Membership and a pet… ***MidnightQueen***
It’s alright, MidnightQueen; I’ve been really busy lately. If I do win (which is unlikely), then yes, I’ll probably be on Webkinz a little more (although I haven’t been on at all lately, so that’s not saying much). I’m having a week off of school right after the contest (what a coincidence!), so that would give me a lot of time to go on!
Well, enjoy your week off school! Even if you don’t post on the forums, do you still read them? Just asking! Maybe I’ll see you on Webkinz World sometime next week, that would be nice! Besides, I think it is only a small chance that anyone will win, but someone will win. Kinda like the lottery, I guess. I guess it just depends on how much the Ganz workers like the pictures submitted and how many are submitted. I doubt I will win (I will be doing good just to get them posted before the end date!), but I can certainly try. Besides, I drew a couple of other pictures that are unrelated to the contest that I would like to submit into the Share Center. ***MidnightQueen***
Cool, I’ll be sure to check your artwork out! And no, I probably won’t read the forums. I wouldn’t want to get tempted to stick to them again; I already kind of blew it just by posting here! But I’m still maintaining the balance, so that’s good.
Well hey there Fracktail!!! You don’t know me I am lavadragon (: I left you a goodbye comment and welcome back to the comment sections!!! So glad to see you making comments again ☺ btw, MidnightQueen your comment on the page with Pokekinz you and I did not get approved Just letting ya know (: ~On the page with the coyote naming thing~
Why are people leaving? Webkinz is fun!
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!! Don’t leave you guys! Country luvs you!
Ya! I love Webkinz and I have for 7 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I would have started when it first began!
Me too, MEGWEBKINZ. This is my 5th year playing webkinz. xD
On my first comment when i said leave midnight queen, i meant leave midnight queen?! so sorry if at first i came across rude… Love you MidnightQueen! ***-~-BWFuzzycat-~-***
oh I didnt even know that was suggested! I thought it was something people randomly did. Good thing I didnt enter.
I’m worried I won’t be able to create an animal based on Webkinz-Day… :(
you dont have to make a webkinz based on webkinz day!! what you can do if you dont want to create on for webkinz day you can create one that is just creative!!! good luck!! – webkinzluver4ever1144
How will we know if we’ve won?
We’ll make a big announcement.
Yeah, you’ll make a big fuss. xD
Oh I hope I win! Best luck to everyone
Me too! But good luck to you, abby6204! Even though having one of my Webkinz on here would be my dream come true, there are probably way better pets than mine…anyway, good luck everyone!! :D
Gennelle? Can we add animated effects to our pets?
Sorry, our pets don’t have animated effects.
Ahhh I hope I win! I think I might actually have a good chance too! :D I hope you guys show your favorites or something soon.
Darn it!:(
Gennelle, what kind of animals are they looking for? crazy colors or normal animal colors?
Cool! I’m excited. I love drawing, good luck to everyone that enters!
I’m back! I had been at Israel on vacation last week! :) Anyway this contest looks awesome, except I don’t think I can enter it. :( Good luck to everyone! :D
Fracktail: Hey, Gennelle, can we add other aspects to the template besides the ones shown (such as showing the tail on the dragon or adding wings to a wing-less animal? (SORRY GENNELLE… lol I bugged you when I scanned through the comments to see if anyone had asked the same thing and they did.. SORRYS! I was getting annoyed because I thought you guys were ignoring me xP
Gennelle ummm do we need to give a name to our pets ? ( you know like tigerly pup or cat )
Not if you don’t want to, but it’s helpful for us to know what you’re aiming for.
Ummmm…… Excuse me Gennelle, I just was wondering I tried putting a Mazin’ Hamster online but it said error and that the Mazin’ hamster would be on there in 24 hours……. but it never was …….. so now what do i do?!?!?!?!?! Thanks, Picklekoda
Please contact Customer Support! webkinzsupport@ganz.com
I was putting my new trading card set (I had just bought 36 packs) and then after putting only half of my cards in, it suddenly said that for safety reasons I would be banned from the Code Shop for 24 hours!! And then, that if I committed any more VIOLATIONS my account could be permanently banned!!! :0 Then it said to only put my own cards in! But they were mine!! I have the receit to prove it!! I want to put my other cards in, but I’m so scared!! I should be able to do it around 5:42, but I’m waiting until 6 just to be safe. But I don’t want to be banned!!! They are mine!! I didn’t do anything wrong! I don’t know what to do, Gennelle, what do should I do?? Why is this happening to me?!!? Please answer!! :”(
Contact Customer Support: webkinzsupport@ganz.com. I’m not sure why it’s telling you that.
Ok. Thanks Gennelle. :)
Gennelle- i posted 8 entries just today, and just make sure i did it right i went to “my entries” and they weren’t their. so, i tried posting one of the same ones again and the message that says “your entry has been posted” came up. so then i checked again in “my entries” and it wasn’t their! what should i do? what’s happening? (also if any one sees one of mine pls let me know so i can be reassured.) thx
They haven’t been moderated yet. They’ll all be moderated before the deadline.
@prprprprp thats CRAZY! ~Hug a Pug~
Yeah, I know right! It let me enter the rest now though. :) *sniff sniff* Yes, I think I will go hug a pug…that’s just what I, and one sorrowful pug need right now!! *Goes and hugs the nearest pug until it scratches me* OW! What was that for?!?!? I WAS HUGGING YOU!! *Pug magically gains voice* “No, you were suffocating me!” Me: “…”
Something’s wrong, my account didn’t do it when I was putting my cards in!
Yeah, but now it let me put the rest of my cards in without banishing me, phew! :)
Gennelle, my sister got the full year deluxe membership which means she also got the golden fawn. the problem: she didn’t get it when she logged in so…. how does she get it?
Contact the eStore: 1-888-818-8770 (Mon-Fri, 9AM-5PM EST).
Gennelle, is it a good idea to wait till the last minute to submit your picture so no one steels your idea? pplleeaassee reply
I wouldn’t worry too much about people stealing your idea. Submit when you’re ready to submit.
ok thanks #:)
Hehe, I like your smileyfaces with hair. xD Or should I say #xD I have a curly mop. ;P (No actually a have straight blonde hair that goes down to my mid-thighs-in real life I mean)
no way mine goes down to the end of my back (i grew it out because i’m a cancer survivor and that i lost all of my hair during cancer treatment) #:)
@woofwoofwoof: Thats awesome that youre a cancer survivor! :)
Gennelle, what if 2 designs look sort of alike?
Gennelle, I am so nervous. It is getting so close to 10am. If I don’t win, is there any other prizes for 2sd and 3rd place winners?
I thought the they were suppose to announce the winner today. Whoops! But I still would like to know if there are any other prizes for others who didn’t win.
i wouldn’t think there would be prizes for those who didn’t win it doesn’t make sense
why
i think its just for the first place winner plus i dont really think that they are willing to give away a bunch of free stuff. #:!) ha ha my smiley face has a mustache #:!)
So excited for this! Good luck to all entries! :D
I’m so excited, too bullseyejingles444 (your user name is similar to mine! :) Can’t wait to see the cool designs that celebrate 10 years of Webkinz. Good luck everyone!
ya I wonder if the winner webkinz will actually be made plush and sold in stores!
Hmmm…. I don’t know? Last years winner was a tigerlily puppy, and could only be found at the estore. But, that would be awesome if they made the winning pet into a plush! ;)
man I am continueing thinking about a orange pet maybe red or something like that
i wonder if you need to include the name of the pet on the paper?
You can, but you don’t NEED to. :)
Gennelle, i have a quick question how are we going to do the judging this year? is it like last year? because i didn’t do the puppy last year could you please explain? thanks woofwoofwoof out
The team at Webkinz HQ will do the judging. We’re looking for creativity and a great design.
thank you so much :)
sorry i keep bugging you Gennelle, but do the HQ judges start judging after the deadline or have they already started i need to Know because i think i’m going to wait till the last day to post mine even though you said not to worry i still am a little plus my mom wants me to.
Every single design is seen by our judging team.
Gennelle, i accidentally, on feb. 1st, printed out the giant picture of all 4 webkinz and did all 4. is it ok if i use that in sharecenter? ~wolfmooWW
If you don’t have time to make another one, OK… but we prefer that you submit each template separately so that we can see the design better.
Hi webkinz should make a chocolate yorkie any way you like!
Gennelle I do want to point out a mistake in this report: Ganz has written: All ten Webkinz Day Trophies (2006-2015) but however it should be 2005 instead!
We didn’t hand one out in 2005, we actually started giving them in 2006! :)
Is there any limit to the number of webkinz you enter Gennelle?
there’s no limit to how many you do (bird36)thank goodness#:D
Nope! :D
omg i just bought the ganzworld couch its ssssssoooo pretty i’m mesmerized
wow i spent the weekend at a relatives house thinking that the deadline the 16th was this Tuesday afternoon not monday so when i got home i look on my calender and see the deadline for the contest at noon today so i run to look at the time it was 1:32 and i start to have a melt down and so i turned on the computer and see in the details :BIG NEWZ [Feb. 12, 10:30AM] — We’ve extended the deadline until Tuesday, February 17 at 10AM (EST), so you have more time to submit entries! and i froze i was so happy i couldn’t move for like ten whole minutes in fact,my hearts still pumping really fast (the reason i was so freaked out is because i decided to wait until the last day to submit my pictures so no one would steel my idea) i think just for that i might post them tonight #:D
omg i just was looking through my food in webkinz and i found out that i still have my nine year cake that’s kind of discussing but oh well
heeeeleeeepppp i need some more ideas please i only have five ideas that arn’t good at all please help me i have and no more ideas and to of them twoof those five look like they were drawn by two year olds and i’m not two years old. ideas any one even if the idea is from a two year olds ill probably use them $:(
omg i just thought of the perfect desighn i’m going to need like a week and a half to beable to pull it off but i’m so excided i can hardly typeits going to be gnjdttttttugamezing
omg i just thought of the perfect desighn i’m going to need like a week and a half to beable to pull it off but i’m so excided i can hardly typeits going to be gnjdttttttugamezing
Gennelle, is the webkinz w aloud i didn’t use them but some people did
Yes it is.
thank you Gennelle
I just rollerscated outside and I made a conversation with my cat…. CJ: LOVE your new shoes! Me: Well, they’re not shoes. CJ: Why do they have little wheels? Me: THERE ROLLERSKATES!!!! ( that’s when I fell over ; )
webkinzforever3520 thats hilarious and i cant roller skate but i can roller blade #:) also ive seen some of your desighns here and there and theyer pretty good i posted mine last night you should check them out and then let me know what you think #:D
Gennelle i have a question do you need to include the name for your drawing?
what are the ten year trophies what does that mean?
i got some votes over emails and stuff and the horse won congrats printable horse great i can get started sorry every one:( but not as much for that horse as long as i dont mess up#:D
I made a mitch match horse and a beach cat with sunglasses and a bathing suit
Are you able to just design a webkinz, without a template? Can I make a dog?
Please use the templates provided. Any other designs won’t be considered for the contest.
I submitted my design on Sunday and Monday. I still didn’t get an email. What if my entries don’t make it up? This is exactly the same thing with Design a Dog! :(
Everything’s been moderated since then so if you didn’t receive an email saying it was rejected, it should be up there. Check your email’s spam folder.
Gennelle said that the moderators are real people, so I entered a pet on Saturday and I didn’t get the email that it had been approved until Monday… I am assuming that the moderators don’t check the submissions on the weekends. I also found that the moderators usually check the submissions sometime at 8:00 am, 10:00 am, and 12:00 pm. I’m not sure when they check after those times…. I hope this answers your question!!!!
this was to answer PeacePuppy2323
Voted this webkinz is awesome please vote for the Valentine Candy Bear with Gray Scruff
I will so do that if I see them!!!
SEND ME A LINK SO THAT I CAN VOTE BECAUSE I WILL SO DO THAT FOR YOU!!!!
Same thing happened, i made a pop tart cat :/
sure
no u can not if u wanna win u have to use one of the templates not your own drawing
does anyone know what happens when you report a picture?
I believe that Ganz will look over the picture again. :)
AWESOME I cant wait I have a GREAT idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Gennelle, i need your help i decided to upload one of my pictures but it isn’t working what should i do #:(
Make sure it’s in photo file format, either .jpg, .gif or .png
ok thank you i figured it out or really my brother did either way woo hoo thank you so much Gennelle #:D
Gennelle i can’t find my picture in the contest i got an email and every thing but still what should i do?
Hey, Gennelle, does the pet u create have to be one of those 4 webkinz? You know the bear, dragon, horse and cat. because I wanted to do a dog or maybe a different type of cat { like the fluffier ones } can I do that, can I add some fluffiness to my cat?#:I ?????
You have to use one of the templates, but feel free to add any details you want to.
Hey, Gennelle, thx for the info, but umm is it possible that I can change the cat into a dog. like what I mean add details to make it look like a dog. im not saying like it would be a cat dog. like it would look like a dog completely but it was a cat so would that still count.
like she said as long as you use the templates you can make it look like any thing #:)
it is 10;04 and nothing has happened? i guess their to busy eating doughnuts #:D lol i am joking and ssssssoooooo excited i posted mine last night but they still haven’t appeared on my share center, Gennelle should i be worried? good lucxk to everyone #:)
Every single one is being seen and judged now that the contest is over.
OK i found them #:) but if i wanted to i could post a picture right now. (which i don’t but still.) any way does that mean that the top ten finalists will be announced tomorrow and that the finalist will be announced the 22?
Hmm is it OK to print something off the internet and glue it on the pet you are designing?
I think that would be like plagiarism, so I suggest if you find something off the Internet, just let that inspire you to make your own version of whatever you found.
ok so it does not matter? thanks for replying so much$:)
i’m kidding it is plagiarism
have any of you guys seen Teamsweet2013 creations there really good
yeah i saw them but i could do better
that would be so awesome!!!!! (cupkakekatie)
This has nothing to do with the design contest but I love your name (averagepanda)!
just printed my 3 cat that makes like 9 templates :D
JIngle bulls jingle all the 444 way
LOL!! You rock Taffyta27!! (Though now that will be stuck in my head…)
since ive seen some comments about might not being able to compete would any one like to share their ideas we me or the public because i’m running low on ideas plus but that’s because i’ve made so many fantastic ones that took me a few days to come up with so any ideas? yes no maybe so? #:D
Gennelle when are they going to post the top ten? what time? i’m sssooo nervous, and there are some pretty good ones out there my favorite is the baloonucorn i think that’s how you spell it? whats yours everyone? #:D
It’s up now! http://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/carousel/design-a-webkinz-contest-top-10-finalists-announced
omg inspiration strikes agin i have another great idea #:D
Can Gennelle or someone else help me? I clicked the Download button and then it shows a picture of the Webkinz template, then it doesn’t say anything about printing it. Help!
Save it to your computer, then print it off.
Does the exclusion on logos include the Webkinz “W” logo?
No.
Aw man! I just got an idea that has the W on it! xD
Yes! Thank you Gennelle!! :D My horse is gonna be awesome now…
Hey, Gennelle, can we add other aspects to the template besides the ones shown (such as showing the tail on the dragon or adding wings to a wing-less animal?)
Sure, go for it. Let your imagination fly! :)
Woo-hoo! Thanks, Gennelle!
you sound nice genelle webkinz
today or tomorrow i’m going to post one of my six pictures for the fun of it. i just now thought of which one i probably will post so keep your eye out. not really please don’t pull your eye out #:)
I went on Webkinz Roads rip once an it was AWESOME!!! I won the hula hop contest, I bought a new webkinz :D and I ended up winning a prize with the Jelly Bean Challange!! Best day ever!!
road trip? webkinz road trip? ?:)
can i put ganz logo it says We can’t accept submissions with company logos or sports team emblems but I want to put webkinz logo?
Yes, that’s fine.
Yay! Oh Gennelle, thanks for answering all our questions. Just wanted to let you know we really appreciate it. :)
Oh Gennelle, quick question: I’m guessing we probably can’t, but is it accepted to use the picture with Ella McWoof in it with all four pets? Or can we only use the templates for each individual pet? Thanks. :)
Are we able to write the word “Ganz” on our designs?
yes
Hey Gennelle, do you know how long we have to wait for a confirmation e-mail from the Share Center? (I haven’t used it until today) I submitted one of my designs today around noon, and I haven’t gotten any sort of confirmation. Thanks! :)
I am wondering the same thing!!
Yay!! xD
Micheal or really any one where do they announce the ten finalist and then finalists?
hey every one this is an amazing way to save ink print out a template and then thake a black pencle marker or any thing like that and but a piece of printer paper over it and you will be able too see over it and trace it for practice sheets im going to save so much ink but not paper &:( oh well &:D
i mean put down a piece of paper in my comment below or up not sure until i post this ↓ &:)
Hi woofwoofwoof, that would be great, but we are only allowed to use the templates, not drawings of the templates. :/ Sorry! I would reccommend not doing that.
bear is great!
anyone wow am i really the only one on here right now that’s weird i think its because i’m home schooled? any way can any one tell me where there going to announce the top 10 finalists and then the finalist a few days later please???? i want to Know so bad in case i win or at least get in the top ten.
I’m homeschooled too! But they will announce them on the 16th.

Me too, I have can or can’t enter more than once?
Gennelle can we use glitter glue and stuff like that?
Sure.
awesome :D
Kittymade 10, what are you trying to say i don’t understand (woofwoofwoof) #:)
can we use like Arte Boomber i think thats how you spell it
This doesn’t work for me!
gennelle this has nothing to do with this but when i got a deluxe year membership i never got my guinea pig it said it would be on my account on december 17 or 18 and it has still not come can you help
Hey there. Can you or a parent/guardian please contact the eStore directly about this? 1-888-818-8770 (Mon-Fri, 9AM-5PM EST).
It should have come to your parents email address and they may have accidentally erased it! No fear however as Genelle said have a parent or guardian contact ganz and they can help!
you press command and P at the same time and it will show the print thing.

YO!! Wassup playnowpuppy! Its been a while! :D
Yeah, how ya doing playnowpuppy? :D
Hi Playnowpuppy its been forever! :)
WASSUP! Haven’t seen you in a while! Yeah, I’m excited to draw these! XD
playnwpuppy! Where have you been?
Hey playnowpuppy! Glad you are back. I was starting to wonder where you had been… XD
Awesome so exited! :D
It’s time to draw. :)
Hey Ganz, are we allowed to use some themes we drew from the design a dog contest?? Because I made some designs I really love and would love to see them on other pets. :P
My goodneess, I have twelve ideas for designs already. O_O I really hope I’ll be allowed to enter!! All of my entries are gonna be colored pencil, though, because we don’t have any good markers for some reason. :/
Ya, if I enter this contest, there’s a 100% chance that I will use colored pencils. Because I just LUV colored pencils! xD
IKR CountryKinz17? That’s what I’m using. :D
I like colored pencils too, but apparently I’m reeeeeally bad at coloring with them, so we’ll see how this goes. XD
I’m used a colored pencils too!
Guys, did you see my entries?!?! I saw yours, BellaStone! and some of my other friends designs! :D This is sooooo fun!!! :D I wonder who’s gonna win!!! :D Good luck everybody!! PS, I especially want you guys to see my Amanda Panda Bear, (it’s paler than my original drawing because of the scanner, unfortunately) and my Strawbeary. (Get it, StrawBEARy? xD I was trying to be creative with my name! ;)
hi every one! im sooooo excited but i have a question for Gennelle how is the jugging going to work like whose the judge is it you?
Our creative team at Webkinz HQ.
I just saw one of _emiemiemiemiemi_’s (right amount of emi’s?) horses! Great job with that, emi! :D
do any of you know that the bear with the beautiful flowered that looks kind of like Tinkerbell’ forest is it made with computer softwear? i cant tell$:(
Oh yay thank you xD (Yes you spelled it right hehe 5 emi’s) I hope I get in a favorites.. lol I thought I had a good chance before, but with so many more days to come and so many morre creative people out there… I don’t know anymore. I looked through the whole gallery just recently and saw some pretty nice ones.
You’re welcome! I’m glad I spelled your user name right! ;) The same thing with me, I thought I might win, but there are some really awesome ones, by some really creative people, and NONE of my millions of designs were featured on the video today, I’m starting to lose hope…I’m still gonna try though! :)
I will check them out!!! They sound ADORABLE!!!! :)
Aw, thanks alaska267! :D
Gennelle people are talking about a video of some sort what is that? $:(
what video i don’t understand
@prprprprp I have seen a TON of your designs and also _emiemiemiemiemi_’s designs! Has anyone seen mine?
i have there beautiful but you won’t see mine until the last day because mine are original so i don’t want anyone taking the idea. i’m so excited i wish the deadline was not the 16 i wish it was the 6 instead of well good luck to all drawers &:D
i mean oh well #:)
Woofwoofwoof, yeah I know what you mean. Someone completely copied my Love horse =[ The only difference was glitter on the hooves. I’m sad.
And hey, Genelle (I don’t know if anyone asked this yet), but if someone COMPLETELY copies your design.. will you just count the one that was entered first? Like the original one would be the one you look at and no really the copied kind of thing.
Yes. They’re all date-stamped, so we’d consider the first one entered (this is only if they’re completely identical).
i’m so sorry that some one copied your image emiemiemiemiemi that’s just awful any way your creations are beautiful! can i friend you on webkinz?
I saw some of yours! They looked really great!
alaska267 did you see mine? that would be really cool
I don’t think I saw yours, but I might’ve. I will be on the lookout! :)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!! that is funny!
isnt it i tricked her sort of #:D
same here but i use them any $:(
i used colored pencils too
You can send in whatever you like but remember that we will be looking for designs that have to do with our 10th year anniversary and “what you love about Webkinz”
Are you part of the webkinz team?
Micheal Webkinz is a worker at Ganz for Webkinz, so yea, he’s part of the webkinz team. :)
i have a question whats your username Micheal and if you see a friend request from woofwoofwoof101 or woofwoofwoof123456 or both that’s me :D
i think you can but as long as you don’t use any computer software #:) omg my smily face has hair
i know right I am so excited
I might sign up for this contest! :D I’ll have to wait and start tomorrow though, because the library is closed today. Oh well, I guess that gives me more time to think about designs. ;)
i am SO excited:) i really want a pet that I designed. and having a deluxe membership would be SO cool
if i do win I will have to wait a WHOLE YEAR for the deluxe because I already HAVE one.
I can’t wait!!!!! I already have a million ideas!
How cool!:D I have a wonderful idea that is all about webkinz!:):):)
Ganz- I uploaded my picture onto the design a webkinz gallery but nothing showed up. Did I do something wrong??
Never mind..i just checked my email. :P
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GONNA DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I JUST PRINTED OUT 24 TEMPLATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D TIME TO GET TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
LOL if I could, I would print 100. xD
I print them as I need them. LOL but go for it!!!!!!!!!!
id print 1000 if i had enough ink but i don’t :( plus i have alot of ideas but not that many LOL
Same! Lol, I think I have that many ideas…rofl! xD
Thank you:)
Dear Ganz, is it ok if I trace the template onto a blank sheet of paper? My printer isn’t working so it’s the only way I can enter. I already made 2 awesome designs this way and I DEFINITELY don’t want it to go to waste. Please get back to me soon. Thanks- g2u3c4c5i
I would suggest you print out the template at the library, at school or have a friend or parent print one off for you.
Dear Michael, You said that you suggest that I print it off elsewhere, however, can I still submit my other designs? Thanks for all your help -g2u3c4c5i
By the way, I used a device that perfectly traces a picture/object onto another piece of paper (it looks almost exactly the same as the template) :)
good idea #:)
YAY!!! FINALLY! A NEW DRAGON! :D i love dragons, and i am collecting all of the webkinz dragons ^_^ so far, i have the Ice Dragon, Lava Dragon, and the Stormy dragon.
LUCKY!!!! I want the lava dragon SO BAD!! Ah well, maybe someday. xD BTW I totally luv your username LOL!
i really love the dragons too, i have the lava dragon, ice dragon, chinese dragon, glitzy dragon, citrus dragon, twilight dragon, whimsy dragon, emperor dragon, and the stormy dragon
Is it ok to paste something on ur pet from the internet?
Like someone said above, it’s like plagiarism. Otherwise known as stealing and/or copying.
So is Webkinz just going to pick one pet to win? Like, just a bear, or just a horse. What is Webkinz is partial to horses? I’m confused… I personally think Webkinz should pick one of EACH animal, considering they have FOUR different animals in this contest. ( :
Yeah, I agree. And you know what’s SO frusturating? People are cheating and using a computer program to do their art. I was looking at this particular ShareCenter gallery, and in the image description someone literally said (and I quote), “… I know it doesn’t look very good at all. I colored this with MS Paint.” GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! MS Paint is a computer program! People these days… they don’t even follow the rules. :-(
If you see one that got past the moderators, can you please click Report on the image? Thanks.
Oh! Thanks for saying that! I wouldn’t have thought of it. :) I just saw a cat that was, and I was like “Hey!!! That’s against the rules!!!” I’ll go report it now. :)
I reported it. I guess you’ll be double-checking it now?
I reported that I saw too. I mean.. I didn’t know what it would do and if the Reporting would do anything but, Hey cool okay then! yay.
I accidentally posted two of the same ones. What happens and which one will be accepted?
Our moderators will probably catch it and just approve the first one.
Yeah! I agree with hafarm2013!!
ya she entered a love dragon looked so fake i reported her as soon as i saw it
i’m back and so excited to be doing this but i missed the Saturday and Sunday chocolates i’m so sad i wasn’t even here on Saturday and Sunday so good bye love buggy&:( but i’m just glad to be back. all of you guy’s pictures are amazing #:)
Hey, woofwoofwoof, i have a love buggy I’m willing to trade. Let me know, K?
aaawww your ssssoooooo sweet but some how i ended up getting it! but id still like to be friends with you on webkinz my user name is woofwoofwoof101 or woofwoofwoof123456 agin your sssooo sweet for offering #:D let me know, k?
im so excited too i hpe everyone put lots of effort into there pet creations
Has anyone spotted that add about Valentines day in Amazing World? Whenever I look at that heart candy that says “Kiss me” I look over at that thing’s face in the right corner, and I just go “…..Yikes!” LOL! xD
Haha! I printed 2 kitty cats everybody!! xD I am at the library like boss! 2 kitty cats people! 2 ADORABLE KITTY CATS!!! I AM FREAKING OUT!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! xD
HEHE!! Now I’m gonna print a horse, I’m getting hype LOL!
Sorry, I’m not gonna be at the Kinzville park today. I’m gonna be drawing my designs. xD
Most of you guys might use crayons and markers! Might I’ll be using colored pencils! GO COLORED PENCILS!!!! xD
I’ll be using colored pencils too, since they are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE type of art media!! :)
I use colored pencils too, but sometimes I use those clay pastel thingies LOL!!
I like those too, but I always get them all over myself XD
is it a good idea to wait till the last minute to submit your picture so no one steels your idea?
Gennelle, we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts for replying to all of our questions and that defiantly includes me i all ways have so many questions but since my mom cant help, i go to you so thank you so much and that goes for you to Micheal, also way down at there i have question sorry #:)

if you win it is a (free) 1 year deluxe membership right?
yes
im so excited! i’m doing the horse!
i am excited but also VERY nervous! good luck! i hope you all do well!
for the winners, can all ten get the prizes or just the winner?
Why can’t the top 20 winer’s all get a virtual version of there pet it’s not hard to make virtual versions.
I work with computer software and digital art and it’s a bit more complicated than it might seem to create little animal creatures that you control! Especially if the said animal might have unusual features or complicated patterns! I believe this is why they’re not giving out twenty of those designs. I hope this answered your question!
I have entered 9 pets so far. WOW ! I didn’t know I could think of so many designes ! HOORAY :)
I hope they do even another contest like this
i cant think of any more ideas so i’m ssooooooooooooo board plus i have to wait like an enter week until the deadline so i’m getting reeaaalllyy inpatient and ive done every thing on webkinz including the kinzville park by the way if you ever do see me at the kinzville park my name would be either Daisy or Rosie. Daisy is a poofy poodle (a poofy poodle has purple feet and a blue ring type of thing around her neck) and Rosie is a pink pony (the pony is obviously pink)
I’m so happy they created this contest! I’ve never heard about it before, and i can’t wait to put some entree’s in! :) Good luck everyone!
HELP!!! I just entered ALL of my Design A Webkinz entry’s on my little sisters account!!! Anyone know what I can do?
Yay!!! I can’t wait to see the finalists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
