After a fantastic round of submissions, an amazing shortlist of finalists and YOUR feedback, we are excited to announce the WINNER of our 2025 Pet Design Contest! This wonderful pet will be awarded to players in Classic and Next on our 20th Webkinz Day, April 29, 2025!
Congratulations, sweetheart1218! The Twenty Year Tiger is adorable! The official 20 Year logo hasn’t been finalized yet, so this may end up changing on the final pet, but we will do our best to showcase your awesome design!
Sweetheart1218 was kind enough to also include a PSI and PSF in their drawing! While these are fantastic ideas, we’d also love to get suggestions from the Webkinz community before we make the final decision on the PSI/PSF. Tell us, what do YOU think would make a fabulous food and item for this pet?
Sweetheart1218 and all the finalists can look for a message at the email account associated with their GanzWorld account by the end of this week.
Thank you to everyone who participated and a big CONGRATULATIONS to our winner and finalists!

i am a big fan of this PSI and PSF :) congratulations!
Congratulations sweetheart1218! Your design is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so excited to see it in the game. This was such a fun contest, and I really enjoyed working within the parameters of the theme. I’d love to see more themed pet contests in the future! Once again, wonderful work from everyone!
your emerald ram was truly amazing too!
Thank you qrax! I loved your emerald ram and thought it was elegant and lovely. I hope it can be made in the game too one day. I sent you a friend request on Webkinz so I hope we can be friends :)
Your Emerald Anniversary Ram was beautiful. I hope you keep designing!
Congratulations sweetheart1218! Does anyone know if adopting the Twenty Year Tiger will award you a full membership? Thank you in advance!
As this will be awarded through the medallion system in Classic, it will not extend full membership.
Thank you!
Will the medallions be given to every account automatically, or will players have to login that day to collect them? Can the Tiger medallions be traded for Any Pet medallions?
Wait does that mean we will be able to get this pet though the medallion’s in classic in the future?
Will we just be given 100 medallions for the Tiger on April 29th so we can adopt it right away or will we have to earn medallions from floaty-clicks?
oh, interesting, this will be a new medallion, I did not know that.
congrats sweetheart1218!! i love the tiger and it’s piano PSI and PSF! i think we should stick to their already very cute design :)
I think the original PSI & PSF that sweetheart1218 provided should be kept! I also think that we should have three 20 year pet designs added to the game, since there were three 10 year pet designs added!
I agree! I would love to see another pet from the contest added for option to get through Estore/wshop. Especially, the Chimera or Confetticorn
Congratulations to the winner! I am not the biggest fan of the piano for a 20 year anniversary PSI. I would much rather see something related to Webkinz history/spirit/brand. I would love to see something about iconic related to collecting similar to the mustelid’s PSI or something branded similar to year 10 pets.
I think the piano is perfect! Imagine if it played an iconic Webkinz tune! OR, better yet (though this might take some coding), it should play piano covers of EVERY Music Starz song, or maybe just the most iconic ones! A new one each time it’s clicked!
Alternatively, if more than one song can’t be put on the piano, then maybe go with Tiger, Tiger!
I agree. Both the PSI and PSF are cute but Webkinz has a lot of pianos and taffy treats that I would want to see something more unique for the anniversary pet. But congrats to the winner! I voted for this pet!
this was a great choice for the anniversary pet, it was tough with all the great finalists’ designs. while i’m glad you’re open to suggestions for the PSI and PSF, i think it would be unfair to the winner to use something different than they designed. the piano design is pretty cool and i like the PSF too. if you did make a different PSI/PSF, i would hope that it would be something different than what other finalists included in their design so it wouldn’t feel like you were stealing parts of their design while they didn’t get anything in return. i’d be happy with the PSF and PSI!
Personally, while I loved the mustelid’s PSI idea, I don’t think it would feel right to use the PSI from one finalist’s design while choosing a different winner. Especially if you’re not going to give the designer of the separate PSI a trophy too. So I think you should use the PSI and PSF concepts that Sweetheart1218 provided. Especially because the Magic W Piano is adorable!
No one is suggesting that other contest entry submissions be subbed out. This is just an open call for suggestions, as we have done with every other pet design contest.
Thanks for the clarification Sally!
Yeah, I agree. Let the piano stay!
Congratulations!! This is an amazing design and perfect for the 20th anniversary of Webkinz!
I’m in love with their W piano sign
