We’re topping off Valentine’s Day with an extra treat – the shortlist of this year’s Pet Design finalists! The 2024 Pet Design Contest had over 800 amazing entries! We are so impressed by the talent and creativity of our players!
This year’s contest is extra-special because for the first time ever, the winning pet will be made into a virtual pet in Webkinz Next as well as Webkinz Classic! The pet will be available to purchase at Ganz eStore and in the Next Adoption Center starting on Webkinz Day, April 29, 2024.
It wasn’t easy to whittle the list of fantastic entries down but after much discussion we are excited to announce the 10 pet design finalists for 2024.
Of course, we can’t make the final decision without feedback from YOU! Please check out the finalists and watch Webkinz Newz this weekend for your chance to vote for your favorite!
Congratulations to all of the finalists! We can’t wait to see which of these wonderful designs will be coming to life in Classic and Next!
These are all wonderful designs, but I am a bit partial to the long haired Chihuahua as they are my RL pets.
Wow! We are so blessed to have so many talented artists here in our WW family! Thank you all for taking the time and care to share your fabulous designs. I have no idea how the Ganz team will make their final selection. If I had any artistic talent at all, I had a couple of pets on my short list, and a cheetah was one of them, so that’s probably the one that I will vote for this time. (for the record, the other pets on my short list are a skunk and a dragon, just so all of the artists know for the next design contest – if you are inspired to do so, please consider designing a skunk or a dragon!)
What fantastic talent is shown in these pets! Congratulations to all!
Congrats everyone. It is hard to pick favorite. Good job
WHOAAA I’m so excited! Congratulations to all of the finalists! This is some stiff competition! Thank you for picking mine to be in top ten!!!
Sweetciety, you can see how much you love the pet you created. That is such a fantastically executed portrayal. I like the Rattle instead of the Scorpion tail, it doesn’t look as menacing. And the colors you chose, so rich and beautiful. This does not look like a mythological creature to be feared, but actually quite cuddly looking. Great work!
We had trouble finding your information — please reply with your email address. We will not post it.
All of the entries look great! I think my two favorites are the cotton candy raccoon and the long-haired chihuahua.
Considering this is for Next and Classic, I hope the raccoon or the ram wins. I would like more variety on Next. There are several dogs, including two yorkies. There are multiple cats and bears and horses. If you decide to go with a fantasy pet, please pick the griffin. The manticore is too similar to the vampire kitten. In fact, it could almost be a baby sparked by a vampire kitten and a pixie tiger. It is a great design and I would definitely want one on Classic but not on Next.
I agree with what you’ve said, but a honey badger isn’t a bear :)
YES!
So beautiful! I think we need a fox…
WE DOOOOOO
I love the griffin!!!! and the long haired chihuahua
I want the Raccoon, it is so gorgeous.
