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!
Gennelle, I really want my three drawings for this contest and I took a lot of work coloring them in and putting silly design like for Easter, Birthday, and cookies on the kitty cat drawing. Even though one went through but the other two didn’t because every time we do the stuff from the sharecenter and hit the summit button on the sharecenter part of the news here it won’t do anything, but sit there and making me cry. I never even got the email from the first one saying it was rejected or is it okay and I even check the spam folder and so far nothing from this contest fun thread. I was the one to suggest the kitty drawing contest.
Happy Valentin’s day!
I voted for some new design webkinz too. Good luck to all the entries in this contest.
But when one went through I was waiting for the email to show up so did I do something wrong and why it won’t let the others two go in.
aww man! I cant use paint for the contest! I guess I’ll stay tuned for another contest, I can’t print these :(
I can’t print the coloring sheet.
i can’t wait to see the top ones :)
if you go to the images of the pets designed, you can scroll to the bottom, and you can choose the option “highest rated”
What all are you looking forward in a design?
Hi Gennelle. I have a little problem. When I read the rules, I overlooked the detail saying that I couldn’t use the computer to color in my pet. I spent a few days working on my pet and just finished it today. I was so sad to learn that I couldn’t submit because I used the computer :( I don’t own a printer so I can’t even redo the pet. I still wanted you all to see it :( I think I’ve been on Webkinz from the beginning. Thank you for everything throughout the years. -Your friend Anavas
Do you have library to used there printer for this contest so you can color it really fast?
Thank you so much for your help! It was so kind of you to respond. Can I add you to my friends list?
Gennelle and Michael, I have a question. Why was my entry removed from the Share Center? I entered a picture of a cat I colored called the Gumball Machine Kitty, and every day after I submitted it I checked its ratings. Well, one day it was gone. I looked all over the place for it. It’s really not there. I want to know if you guys took it down. Was it inappropriate? That wasn’t my intention. I emailed GanzWorld support asking about this a couple days ago but I haven’t received a response yet so I decided I should try here. Please reply ASAP. Thanks!
Was it done with computer software? Also, there’s a chance it was reported by accident and the moderators haven’t gotten to it yet to re-approve it. Rest assured that if it followed the guidelines, it’ll be considered for the contest.
I did not color it with computer software. I guess I’ll just have to accept that it’s too late for me to do anything about it now. Thank you for responding so quickly!
