Hey guys! It’s me, Michael Webkinz, here to present the finalists for our 9th ever Webkinz Room Design Awards! In the past, we have always had 10 finalists, but for the first time ever I have decided to choose 20 finalists. It’s always hard to narrow it down, so this made it a little easier :)
Players will be able to vote for their favorite design, right here on Webkinz Newz from Friday, April 20th, to Sunday, April 22nd. 4 winners will each be awarded a Room Design Trophy. The winners will be announced on Monday afternoon, April 23rd… Good luck!
Congratulations to all 20 finalists! Here they are (in no particular order):
Now it’s time to vote! Click on the VOTE NOW button to pick your favorite room design. Results will be posted Monday afternoon, April 23rd:
Finalists: you all did a great job and will each be sent a code for a Webkinz Day Loot Bag. I will send you an email this week with the code, so please check the email account you used to send in your designs.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, 4 finalists will be awarded a Room Design Trophy. A huge thanks to expert room designer Autumn, who I invited to be a special guest judge for this Room Design Awards!
Here’s how the winners will be chosen:
- The 1st winner will be decided by a vote right here on Webkinz Newz. On Friday April 20th, 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 winner will be chosen by special guest judge Autumn
- The 4th and final winner will be chosen by me, Michael Webkinz!
Autumn is a previous Room Design Award winner. I also featured one of Autumn’s designs in a special Let’s Build Video. Autumn truly has a great eye and is one of the most talented room designers I have ever featured on Webkinz Newz. Click on the link below to check out some “never before seen” room designs by Autumn:
Congratulations to all the finalists… and good luck!
cool
Congratulations to all of the finalists! Thank you for the exciting twist of having a guest judge, and having it be none other than Autumn, designer extraordinaire! I like having a bigger group of finalists to enjoy, and I’m sure that it makes it easier for Michael Webkinz, but it decreases the odds of winning a trophy from 0.3 (3 in 10), to 0.2 (4 in 20). I was wondering if maybe you would consider prize categories in the future. For example, best outdoor room, best design in a small room, best all-Wshop-item room design, best re-creation of a classic book or movie. I’m sure that you get the idea. It would be like awarding the Oscars – more categories would hopefully encourage even greater creative thinking, and also provide even more opportunities for trophies. It would definitely be another exciting twist, although possibly more work for you, Michael. It just an idea I’ve had for several months. Good luck to all of the finalists! May your creative ideas continue to blossom and grow!
oh my goodness i love your idea Michael should totally use this i would defiantly compete in the challenge good luck with the idea @Beckinz8 ~~~~sincerely, gg71115
