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!
When will you be able to see the submissions?
Uh….. No idea
When their posted. :) Ganz has to look them over first, to make sure their appropriate. :) Just be patient.
how do you save, then download?
Click the button, right click on the template and save it to your computer, then open it from your computer and print it.
Thanks, Gennelle! It really worked! Yay!
I have a question, two as a matter of fact. 1. How do you download and print the cat template? 2. Can my cat have wings, so it can fly?
Can my cat have wings?
i do not now? i think that good idea but i do not now if its ok
How do you print?
After you save the template to the computer, go to the file it’s in, right click the template, and select “Print”. From there, it should pop-up with printing options. Select what size you want (I recommend full page or half) and click “Print”.
Can you write a couple words next to your pet explaining it?
Sure!
Okay! Thank you so much, Jannelle.
I mean Gennelle. :)
It won’t let me download the template. Help please!
I agree MEGWEBKINZ. I can’t do it either. Can someone please help?!
When you click “download template”, the image should pop up on screen. From there, right click, and select “Save image as…” From there, select where you want to save the photo on your computer and click “Save”. Afterwards, go to the file and print it out. Hope that helps!
hey webkinz is it okay that i entered the contest with an animal that has something to do with lightsabers?
Sure. But keep in mind that we are looking for designs that are inspired by our 10th anniversary and “why you love Webkinz”
Hi Michael! Two questions for you: 1. How do you download and print? 2. Can my cat have wings?
i love this contest !!!!! its so much fun!!!!! i love to draw and my dream is to be an artist !!!!! i cant wait to see who wins !! GL everyone !!! :)
Good luck to you too, KrissyDog! :)
Hey there RainbowDash716, to download, you can click on any of the of the four purple download buttons (one is for dragon, one for cat, one for horse, and one for bear) and then the template will pop up. Once it is there, right click on it and click on “Save Image As” or “Save Picture As” or “Save As” (which ever one it comes up with) then, type in the name for it in the box that pops up, and click on “Save” After that, find where you put the template in your computer. Once you find it, click on it to open it up. Then, press the “Print” button. Then click “Print” on the drop-down menu. Or, you could skip the whole print button thing, and press control and P at the same time (ctrl+p) Then, choose “Full Page Photo” and then check “Fit Picture to Frame” and then choose the ammount of copies, and press “Print”. And to answer your second question, yes, you can add wings to your cat. Be creative! :D Have fun with it! :) Good luck with the contest, and I hope this helped you. :)
Will my Smash Bear be disqualified since it’s alluding to something Marvel? Please reply! I haven’t uploaded it to the Share Center because I’m unsure.
Yeah that would be excluded due to trademark.
Ah, ok, thanks Gennelle. :)
Wait a minute, why would a Smash Bear be excluded because of trademark stuff, and stuff with lightsabers not? Aren’t they under trademark or copyright, whatever that stuff is, protection too?
Not necessarily. Lightsabers aren’t like a logo, they are more of an object, not a company, while Marvel is an actual company with logos and all.
Hm. Ok, I guess that makes sense. :) Thanks, MEGWEBKINZ! :) (Just sayin’ I don’t know almost anything about copyright and trademark stuff, so that was like really really helpful for me, rofl! xD Thanks!)
Opps, so your all looking for designs on why we love Webkinz…. Guess my recycling bear does not count… ): OH WAIT The kinzville park! So it does! Just slipped my mind! Recycling in the Kinzville park (:
genelle i do not no all webkinz wat if a accedentley make one alredy made?
That’s all right, it just won’t win. Hehe, last year for the Design a Dog contest, I accidentally entered a pet that all ready existed-the Music Note Dalmation! Something almost exactly like it, but with a different name I think, all ready was made! But if you want to make sure you don’t post one that is all ready made, then 1.double-check in the Kinzapedia or Webkinz Catalog, or 2.try to make really crazy new, unique, and fun designs that are probably not made yet! :) Good luck with the contest, bunnyfunfun101! (PS, I love how your user rhymes with itself! Lol)
This contest has been so much fun so far!!!
