We had another fantastic bunch of submissions to our Classic Room Theme Design Contest! What a creative community of players Webkinz has!
While the final decision on the winning theme is up to the Webkinz creative team, we always take YOUR input into account before making our selection.
It wasn’t easy but we have selected 10 finalists that we think could make an amazing addition to the WShop in Classic. The winning theme will be added to the WShop later this year.
Check out the finalists below and watch Webkinz Newz later this week for your chance to vote for your favorite!
1920′s Gatsby Theme!
so excited to be a finalist!! thank you <33
I understand that you can’t please everyone, but I don’t know how to feel about a lot of these choices… My vote goes to Eclectic Theme or the 1920s theme! Hopefully in the future with design contests we can have options that aren’t very similar or repeats of things we already have.
I’ve deleted a chunk of your comment. Try to keep feedback positive, particularly when you’re discussing fan-designed themes, because people work hard on these entries. Remember, you always have the option to create your own entries for these contests. People submit what they want to see on the site, and given how many items are on Webkinz Classic, it’s nearly impossible to make something that is completely unique. We also like items that go well with other themes to encourage mixing and matching.
sally, i think the point that m0nkeegirl was trying to make is that there were design submissions that were completely unique – nothing like them in classic – yet they were not selected. instead, themes very similar to what we already have were selected. this is not a critique of the fan designers, but of the selection committee.
To be fair, you did not see the part of the comment that was cut. We choose the ones we like and feel would best fit — many of the submissions are extremely fancy, making them more appropriate for a Rare, Deluxe, or eStore theme.
The original comment was a critique of the ones selected, but not of the art pieces themself – it was telling the committee that several of the themes feel like repeats of items/themes we already have. It’s disappointing to see my opinion removed tbh
That’s not how it read to us, so perhaps be more direct when critiquing the committee so it doesn’t appear disparaging to the entrants. Plenty of your opinion was preserved in what was left.
That said, we liked your entry and hope you submit again when we run our next Halloween room theme design contest
GATSBY!
