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!
Yay!!!! This is so awesome! :D I’m totally going to try!!!!
i really want to enter one, but I’m having trouble thinking of an idea that can incorporate Webkinz/10 year anniversary. i’ll probably start with doodles and see what stuff I end up with. ~ Jayfeather ♠ ♣ ♦ ♥
Gennelle, I did my blueberry bear last night and send it and placed it on Design a Webkinz. And if my bear won’t win, I’ll be doing my Good Luck Pony and Cherry Kitty. Reply to me soon.
I mean I send it on Design a Pet.
I’ll try again if you can’t find my three pets I done in Design a Pet. So I’ll be making some different ones. So try to find my three complete ones that I sent in Design a Pet. They’re Blueberry Bear, Cherry Kitty and Good Luck Pony.
I made some new ones for Design a Pet. They’re a Bumblebee Bear, Gumdrop Pony and Pumpkin Cat. That is, if you gennelle, can’t find the first pets I sent to Design a Pet.
Don’t worry, they look at all of them. (I think) :P
Hi migrubbs! I don’t want to sound rude in any way, but I submitted a Cherry Kitty today too! I used my old puppy as a design. I’m not saying you copied me, it’s just kind of weird coincidence. :)
I tried to submit an entry and my form won’t go through
You have to wait a little before Ganz posts them. :) I posted a bunch, and so did some other people, but they have yet to be posted. I doubt Ganz would reject all those! Just wait and I’m sure it will appear eventually! :)
No like the form wouldn’t submit lol. I got it eventually.. One issue tho.. When my image posted it somehow got stretched out. Don’t know how it happened but does that affect my entry at all? I sent in a good image too so idk what went wrong. Genelle or Michael will this affect my entry?
We’re not going to disallow an image because it’s upside down or stretched or has an obvious technical issue, but it helps to see it in the actual template form so that we get a clear sense of your design. Try re-submitting it in a different file format and just make a note in the description that it’s a re-submission due to the first one being stretched.
Ok thanks! I worked really hard on it so it’s a shame that that happened but Ima go try and fix it!
It turns out the image was only stretched when being viewed on my phone… It appeared sideways on my actual computer. I resubmitted it anyways just in case. Thanks so much for you’re help gennelle :)
I re-submitted drawing too but I didn’t state that in the pet description. Does that matter, I’m going to say probably not but I thought I better ask.
can we do more then one?
You can do as many as you like :)
i am not sure. I don’t have to worry about it because i am not going to do it ;- )
I love drawing! This is going to be so much F-U-N! But, how many imes are you allowed to enter?
You can enter as many as you want fashionlover188 !!!!!!!! :)
Yes! Me and my sister will probably do one of each. I really like these contests. Hey Gennelle, what do you mean by Webkinz Inspired? I saw a lot of “The Webkinz Puppy” at the design a dog contest. And, none of them won. Does this mean something else?
I can’t download them! Somebody please help!
I can’t download them either.
You have to go to google and type in ganz share center. Then when you are there go to the second page and at the bottom is the design a webkinz contest. Click on submit image and then fill out all of the blanks about your pet that you made. I hope this helped.
BeanieTT all you have to do is click the download and draw it to the search bar, then print it.
Can we enter one design for each pet?
Yes
And as many as you want, right Micheal? ;)
Hi Michael, I was wondering, how long does it take for you guys to look threw all of the drawings, because I (as asker9) entered four drawings one of each pet on Saturday the 14th and got an from an e-mail system that said I would get another e-mail after you guys look at them. It’s now the 16th only one day left and I was worried that you guys might not get to mine and anyone who sends drawings then slightly before or later in time. Please answer. asker9
I really like to draw so this exciting!
I am so excited:)
Can you really make as many as you would like?
um gennelle, (or anyone else) could you please tell me where you go to find out who won? thanks :)
For an unknown reason, the Webkinz Share Center will not download my JPG images. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Try them in a smaller size?
Yayyyy! I can’t wait until they announce the finalists!!!!!!!!!!!! xD Good luck to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
