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 at least hope one of my designs got to the top 100. If you saw the lovely hearts bear or the cotton candy cat please comment :)
Hi, Gennelle, I sent in 4 drawings on 2/16. I got a Webkinz message that said ”They would send me an email after reviewing my pictures”. I didn’t get any emails from Webkinz. Can you tell me, please, what happened? I know sometimes computers have problems!
For some reason the automated emails weren’t working (possibly too many submissions coming in?). Rest assured, all entries were viewed and considered by us, so we saw them.
Gennelle, I need some help if you can spare a moment. :) Could I ask when the 10 finalists will be shown? Thank you so much!! Have a good time looking through all the designs! :)
aww… no computer softwair!? i made mine on the paint app! it took me such a long time DX. Please let mine count DX
Well, that stinks! I thought when they said the deadline was the 17th, they meant at midnight. 10 am is a random time to end the contest. My fault for not checking. Too bad, I had an awesome design. :(
Hi Gennelle, when/how will we know who won?
Does anyone know when they share the finalist? I’m soooooooooooooooooooo nervous good luck to all u drawlers and colorers out there don’t get discouraged if you don’t win just keep trying.
Hi Gennelle Webkinz, I submitted images to the design a webkinz gallery in the share center on February 15, and i didn’t get a submission confirmation until 10:15 am today (february 17). so im wondering since it says the contest is over at 10 am, since you left the email 15 minutes after the deadline and i posted 2 days earlier, will my images still count in the contest?
They count.
Wow! I am so excited to see who wins! I did all mine last night since I entered 3 but did them on the computer xP so I had to re-do them so I printed them out and made there designs and that then entered them last night! Thanks for these contests Ganz! They are so enjoyable!! ~lavadragon~
when are they going to tell us who won ?
the 21st
