Hey guys, Michael Webkinz here with a special announcement! On May 27th we will be announcing the 10 finalists for the first ever Webkinz Room Design Awards! The 10 finalists were chosen from our Fan Build Screenshots series of posts from December 17th – May 20th.
Each of the 10 finalists will receive 10,000 eStore points but only 3 winners will receive a Room Design Trophy! Here’s how the winners will be chosen:
- The 1st winner will be decided by a vote right here on Webkinz Newz. Between June 2 – June 5 players can vote for their favorite design and the winner will be awarded the trophy.
- The 2nd winner will be chosen by the Webkinz Creative Team
- The 3rd and final winner will be chosen by me, Michael Webkinz!
We will be revealing the 10 finalists on May 27th. Make sure you’re here to see the top 10 room designs and decide which one you’ll be voting for!
If you have submitted a room design and it has been featured in a Fan Build Screenshots post on Webkinz Newz, please check your email account that is associated with your Ganz World account this weekend to see if you were chosen as a finalist.
Want to send us screenshots of some of your favorite rooms? E-mail them to me at letsbuild@ganz.com. Who knows, you might see them in a post right here on Webkinz Newz!
Are you looking forward to the Room Design Awards? Who do you think will make the top 10? Please leave your comments below…
oh wow i didn’t even know that this even was going on :( for sure i would have submitted
Man, now I REALLY have to figure out how to send screenshots! I have a couple of rooms that I have been wanting to show Michael some of my rooms anyway.
Wow, I have a shot! My Blue Ave room was featured a couple months ago and I think my Apple Barn may have been in that period too! :D I love that Ganz has been having all these awesome contests and recognizing their fans. 5 years ago I would have never dreamed that Webkinz would ever notice me
Hi, jellydonut! Was your room the Blue Avenue Apartment with a pink Googles in it? I liked that one! My Webkinz Day Party Room was featured by Michael last month in honor of Webkinz Day, and I was over-the-moon excited!!! Designing rooms is my favorite thing to do in Webkinz World, and seeing the rooms that the fans create is my favorite part of Webkinz Newz. This is going to be fun!
I got my, “Enchanted Library” Shown! Maybe I’ve got a shot at this! Congrats to both of you for getting you’re rooms shown! This is a great contest! I hope they do it again! Good luck to all! Everyone has such lovely rooms!
Coolio! Hey Genelle, are you guys thinking of doing one of these for YouTube? As in, another one of these events but for people who post Room designs on YouTube? Thanks.
That’s a great suggestion! :)
This sounds cool! I sent some rooms in, but they haven’t been chosen yet. Good luck to everyone! Hopefully I can win in the future!
Same!
The rooms you chose were a few that were just there because they didn’t have much and the vast majority was a group of people who submit multiple posts and have approximately everything in Webkinz.
I don’t think that’s a fair assessment at all. The rooms that are showcased on Webkinz Newz by Michael are picked because of the designer’s creativity and uniqueness of the room. The fact that he chose to show multiple designs from a player or to dedicate an entire post to a single player is his decision, and I think a it’s great one at that, so that we can see the copious amounts of talent that many webkinz players have to offer in our community. And I’m sure many players work very hard to get items for their rooms, like saving KC or participating in challenges or collections. I hope you will be supportive of the winners and finalists, because they put a lot of effort into their designs. Maybe you can submit some of your designs so that we can see them, and I’m sure people will be just as supportive as most comment-ers are here on Webkinz Newz.
here here! Well said
I think that the contest is being fairly assessed. Michael should have a right to vote, since it is his contest, and whoever he chooses will be honored to have been picked by michael himself. i really dont think that anything is wrong with this contest
This is a wonderful idea. You have shared some very creative rooms and I have enjoyed seeing them. I get lots of ideas from them! Can’t wait to vote.
Who do you think will be a finalist? If you had to pick? :)
probably hiphopten
I’m so excited!
i’m looking forward to this. i agree with you Horsegirl i’m not a great room designer either.
Just mix a few things that go together in order to create a theme. I used some items from the beach theme and a few rare items like the tropical hammock, and the shipwreck to make an island theme.
Are the pool of finalists only those who have been previously chosen as a room design winner, or are the finalists also people who have sent in room designs from those given dates?
‘Shrugs’ I have no clue. Probably only qualifiers.
Wow, this sounds like it’s going to be fun! I wish I had sent a room design to Ganz, I was thinking about it…I probably wouldn’t have won anyways, I am not the best room designer :P ~Horsegirl~
This is so exciting! :D
I ha
Earlier today I got a letter about Webkinz X and how Ella was going to be in the park…but..she was not there!!!!!!
She’ll be there on May 27.
Gennelle can you still send rooms thru the share center??
Sure.
If you send rooms will they be added to the list of finalists or is it too late????
It’s too late to qualify for this round of awards but you can still send me screenshots of your rooms for future consideration…
I want to send in my own screenshots, but I JUST sent in mine. Well, maybe sometime in the future I’ll get posted on Webkinz Newz! However, I’m not rich with estore points and I’m not Deluxe, so we’ll see…
Speaking of rooms, I’m working on one, but I didn’t buy enough. Anyone have 2 extra counters an 3 dining chairs from the year ten theme? I ran out. Oops!! ;)
Cool! I am working on some. :) And there were lots of people who sent in many more than one design. Can you be a finalist more than once? Anyway, good luck to everyone who sent in something!
I agree horse girl! I’ve thought about submitting, but my rooms mostly stick to the themes :P
this is awesome! i haven’t submitted any room designs, but there have been lots of really excellent ones! can’t wait to see the contest and who wins! good luck to all! :D
I wish I had sent some too! I am wondering Michael Webkinz how do we email the pictures of our rooms in the body of the email or as an attachment?
I think I could easily make a nice room with tons of kinzcash and tons of estore points.. =P I usually have good ideas, but I can never get all the items I need..
Either way works. Looking forward to seeing them!
Anyone else think Michael looks cute in his little tuxedo? :)
Not only cute but sharp too!
DASHING. Michael Webkinz, you sure are dapper in that suit!
me!!
Michael looks cute in anything!
Don’t feel bad, I sent a bunch in and none ever got shown. I’m sure I’m not alone.
You always have a chance to win and you could win if you put your mind to it. ; )
ok… so first I was like ‘oh I should enter a room’ and then I was like ‘HOLYCOW!!!! 10,000 eStore points!!!!’
I know, right!
