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!
Hi Gennelle, I have a couple questions about the contest. #1: Will the winning design be based on the public’s rating or the leaders’ opinions? #2: If you draw a PSI or PSF for your pet and you win, will it come with the virtual version of your pet? Looking forward to hearing from you!
1) No, the winner will be chosen by our team at Webkinz HQ 2) No promises but include them anyway because we love seeing your ideas!
Quick Question: Do you look at the descriptions for the designs (ya know to see how it celebrates webkinz/ 10th anniversary)? Thanks! :D
We’ll read them but it doesn’t have an effect on the judging.. it’s all about the design.
Oh ok! Thanks! :D
Good, cause people always make designs that I saw have nothing to do with Webkinz or its 10th anniversary, but then the user tied it in with Webkinz.
I should say tied the DESCRIPTION in with Webkinz. ~Hug a Pug~
Dear Ganz is it alright I draw the “W” on the paw of the Webkinz I design?
Sure thing.
Okay thank you Gennelle! :-)
I have a question. When I click submit, nothing happens. And I am sure that I did everything I had to do to upload it. What should I do? Please help me.
Are you logged in when you try submitting?
I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very good luck, everyone!! :D
:)
LOVIN THIS! ~Hug a Pug~
I cant get it to except my drawing keep getting error code 404
Finally, the entries are pouring in! I am enjoying this- But I do have one question. Can someone please tell me how long it takes the people to review your pictures? I sent 12 in tonight, and they haven’t shown up…. Tomorrow, maybe?
Shouldn’t take longer than 24 hours.
I’m gonna make a mushroom cat!
OMG!!! I think… I will draw a mushroom cat!!! Yeah… I’m gonna do that…
