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!
Can it have a webkinz logo on it, or would that not be accepted?
go for it!
Haha this is so cool!
Gennelle, do we have to give a name for the pet?
You don’t have to but feel free if you would like. You can also leave a suggestion for your pet’s PSF and PSI but only if you want to.
exact quote “You can enter as many designs as you want!”
My question is, how do you upload something that you printed?
Hey there arzi02, there are different ways. One, you can take a picture of it with a camera (after you colored it) and then upload the picture onto your computer again, and post it onto the Share Center. Or, you could scan your picture with a scanner and then download the picture from the scanner onto your computer and then post it in the Share Center. I hope this helps! :)
Good luck to everyone that is doing it! I am not going to do it because i am not a good drawer.:(
Will we be able to see other people’s work in the ShareCenter? Or will we have to wait until after the contest is over?
Can I trace the template from my computer because I don’t have a printer??? I can trace it the best i can?
I’m pretty sure that would be okay. Some people are taking a lot of creative freedom with the templates and are even adding body parts to the them!
I can’t wait! I want to win so badly… I enter EVERY contest they have and I haven’t won yet… I hope I’m lucky this time!!
Yay! I can’t wait for this!!!! So happy! It would be a dream come true to have a pet I designed. :)
