Good news!!! We have extended this contest to September 7!
To give thanks for the creative and talented Webkinz Community, our new Share Center Contest invites you to design the image for our Thanksgiving Home Page!
Create your own vision for our Thanksgiving Home Page and upload it to the Share Center. If your design is selected, you will receive a 1 Year Deluxe Membership to Webkinz. Nine runners up will each receive a 1 Month Deluxe Membership.
Here’s how it works: The contest runs from August 14 after 9 am, to September 7, 2017. We will announce ten finalists on September 8, 2017 when we want to hear what YOU think of the designs. The final decision will be up to the Creative Team at Webkinz but we will take your input into account before we announce the winner on the last day of the Super School Giveaway on September 15, 2017.
A few things to remember… You can enter as many designs as you want! The approximate dimensions of the image are 11×5.5 or 1400×800 pixels BUT image must be saved at a smaller size for uploading to the gallery. The winner will be asked to supply a high quality scan of the original image at a larger size. We have provided a template but you are not required to use our template as long as your artwork fits our dimensions.
Also, please note that some content will be covered by an ad and by the Webkinz logo and ‘Play’ button (see example below). While there must be some content in those areas – don’t leave it blank – keep in mind that it may be covered so try not to put important content there.
Important: In order to reproduce it at a high quality on our site:
-
Although the image must be saved at a smaller size for uploading to the Share Center the ORIGINAL image must be created at as close to size as possible (11 x 5.5) or larger
-
Winner MUST be able to provide us with a high quality scan of the original full size via email upon notification of winning. We cannot use the smaller sized upload version.
Contestants MUST upload their work to the Thanksgiving Homepage Design Gallery on the GanzWorld Share Center.
Never uploaded to the ShareCenter before? Don’t worry! It’s easy. Just watch this video to see how it’s done! You can use any kind of art supplies that you want. Feel free to use markers, pencil crayons, crayons, or other art materials. Go for it!
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. Please make sure you save your images as a jpg, gif, or png.

Does it matter if I have to be between 11×5.5 or 1400×800 pixels if I print out the templet?
I used the template, drew it, and I took a picture on my phone. It did not work. Please help me! I really want to enter this contest! I think I needed to use a computer but I can’t take pictures of the templates on my computer. Is there an email I can send this to?? Please reply soon! :C
Can you email your photo to yourself and open it on a computer so you can use ShareCenter?
Yes. Thank you!!! Your a life savor! :D
Sally I entered. How long before it gets approved?
Thank you because I think I might have the same problem and this will be super helpful!
I tried reloading the page, I made sure flash was enabled, and I tried using a different browser, but it would not let me upload an image. How do I get it to work? Please help me! I really want to enter this contest! This is so frustrating!
If Flash is enabled and it’s not letting you upload, either your image is too large in file size or the resolution is too high. Try resaving a smaller version, or re-save as web-safe.
It still isn’t working. :( I really want to enter this contest!
Nothing pops up when I click on browse. Please help as soon as possible!
You can try another browser, but you’ll also need to double check that the Flash plug-in is enabled for share.ganzworld.com — a lot of browsers have been disabling it.
I already did both of those, but it still is not looking
Sorry I meant working not looking
By any chance are you on a mobile device? Because it doesn’t work on mobile. Otherwise, I’d recommend trying another computer.
Hey about the winner. if you win what do you mean by HD? I did all mine in paint and not sure how to make it bigger and better quality
the quality gets worse when you put it into sharecenter, so as long as you have it as the original quality (which is the HD version), and the size is correct (1400×800 or 11×5.5) you should be good if they want to put yours up!
also ! the finalist results got moved to my birthday! if i end up in the finals it will be the best bday gift ever !
YES ! IT GOT EXTENDED ! now i can add some extra details to my original piece! good luck to all new and original entrants !
Wow, this is so cool! I’ve never submitted anything to the share center, but I’m sure it’s amazing! Is it alright if we use a webkinz turkey for the picture and meat turkey for the food? I know that sounds weird, but I’m just wondering. >.<
i don’t know how to upload either.
