Back to school time! The Kinzville Academy in Webkinz Next is now OPEN! (Not quite! But soon we hope!) And Ms. Cowoline has your first homework assignment: Design a Webkinz Next Emoji!
Between August 19 and September 18, Ms. Cowoline wants you to submit your design for a new Webkinz Next emoji to the GanzWorld Share Center!
If your design is selected as the winner, it will be made into an emoji in Next which will be awarded as a prize during an upcoming season. You and your friends will be able to use your emoji to express yourselves when you chat in Kinzville!
As well as seeing their design come to life in Webkinz Next, the winning designer will also receive 150 Diamonds, and five finalists will each receive a Restful Retreat Mystery Capsule.
Here’s how it works:
1. Draw an emoji. If your emoji is meant to be animated, please explain in the description how it should work. You can use any kind of art supplies, markers, pencil crayons, crayons, paint. While we will not accept images that have computer generated patterns or graphics copied and added to them, participants may use programs like Paint or Photoshop to color and draw freehand. We can’t accept submissions with company logos, or sports team emblems.
2. Scan or photograph your drawing.
3. Save your file as a jpg, gif, or png.
4. Upload it to the Next Emoji Gallery on the on the GanzWorld Share Center any time between August 19 and September 18!
There is no limit to the number of entries you can post. Have fun!
If you’re looking for inspiration, the best place to find it is in Webkinz Next. You can check out some of our previous emojis, as well as our Next pets who make excellent models!
That’s your assignment, students. Be sure to visit Webkinz Newz after September to see if your design makes the list of finalists!

I was wondering when the submissions from the last day are going up. I really want my submissions to be in the running. :-)
Are my friends sosotto and unikitty going to enter, they love emojis.
Can we post the emoji that appears when we do well in LilyPadz?
Whoa. @_@ Ms. Cowaline looks so different on Next. She looks like she will be a strict administrator, but kind. I can’t wait for the Next KVA to open!
me too
I will be entering this contest. And what happened to Miss Cowoline?!
I know right?!?!
My, Ms. Cowline what big eyes you have! 8)
Yes! Cool face 8) lol
I think her nose is too small in comparison to her head…cows have characteristically big schnozzes! :) Maybe she had a rhinoplasty?
I have made a few and it is a lot easier then the other contests and it feels more fun and you have to be more creative with the animated emojis!
Does this mean the update comes today?
We’re stuck waiting on app stores, unfortunately. Not sure when it’s going up, but it’s soon!
Wait I said this at one of your dev meat-ups and it got in the game!!!! What! no way I am going to make a lot of designs for this contest since it is very simple! Yo also said my idea on a podkinz and i remember so thank you for making my idea a reality! Cant wait to make alot of designs!

Also, where do you get the smiling cat, shocked cat, and winking cat emoji???
