Summer is here and it’s time to head out for a vacation. Everyone loves sending postcards and right now Sheldon is looking for a new design to add to the postcards at Vacation Island. Just imagine if you could send your friends a postcard that you designed!
Now is your chance to submit your very own design to add to the postcards on Vacation Island. One creative designer will be selected to have their idea turned into actual postcard AND win an adorable Apricot Schoodle! Nine runners up will each receive 1 Spa Towel Trolley, courtesy of Ganz eStore.
Here’s how it works: The contest runs from July 1 to July 15, 2017. We will announce ten finalists on July 18, 2017 when we want to hear what YOU think of the designs. The final decision will be up to the Creative Team at Webkinz but we will take your input into account before we announce the winner on the last day of the Marshmallow Collection Event on July 31.
A few things to remember… You can enter as many designs as you want! The approximate dimensions of the image are 4.5 wide x 7 high. Although you don’t have to use it, to help you out we have included a template below. Please note – we cannot use horizontal images.
Contestants MUST upload their work to the Postcard Design Gallery on the GanzWorld Share Center.
Never uploaded to the ShareCenter before? Don’t worry! It’s easy. Just watch this video to see how it’s done! You can use any kind of art supplies that you want. Feel free to use markers, pencil crayons, crayons, or other art materials. Go for it!
While we will not accept images that have computer generated patterns or graphics copied and added to them, participants may use programs like Paint or Photoshop to color and draw freehand.
We can’t accept submissions with company logos or sports team emblems. Please make sure you save your images as a jpg, gif, or png.

Bring on your ideas! We can’t wait to see which new postcard will soon be added to Vacation Island.
This is a cool contest! I will enter just for fun because I love art :) I really love design contests, I hope they do more pet design contests in the future :)
I saw yours, it looks great! Good luck!
Already designed one it looks ok in my opinion but its worth a try
I designed some too. Good luck! ❤
Greenmagic77: You are an amazing artist, I’m sure you have a pretty large chance of winning! ❤
Good luck to you! :)
Awwwww! Thank you so much bubbashuka! ❤ Good luck! :D
You’re welcome! :) Good luck to you too! ❤
Yay, I’ll be entering this one for sure! Good luck, everyone!
Oh, and do we have to use those dimensions, or is that just an approximate amount of pixels? I can’t print the template, so I would love to use my 3DS, but the pictures don’t have that kind of dimension, they’re kinda square. I hope I can, because that would pretty much be the only way for me to enter the contest with the quality I would like. Thanks! – PrettyPikachu
Oh, and I still have not received my Moonberry Car from the contest.
I can do 300×400, according to the file info on a past image.
Hi Prettypikachu! The dimensions on the post card are the same as the template. Is there any way you could make it on your DS and just not fill in the sides so that it’s the right shape? As for your Moonberry Car, I sent all the emails out on Weds. so you should have received it. Have you changed email addresses since you set up your Ganzworld account? If you DID get the email, and responded, have you checked in ‘Decorations’? I think I noticed that my Berry cars appeared in ‘Decorations’ rather than in ‘Furniture’ for some reason. Don’t worry – we will figure it out one way or the other. :)
Hiya Mandy! Yes, I may be able to copy/paste it into the template not completely filled, if that’s okay, like leaving the sides white as you suggested, so that it’s the right shape. I’ll submit them tonight and see if they work. If not, I’ll just try them without the template :) I did in fact receive your email. No, I have not. No, I haven’t checked in Decorations yet, I was kind of figuring I would get a message in the message center about it, but I will check and get back to you. Thank you for all of your help, Mandy, I really appreciate all that you do for the Webkinz community! Have a nice evening! (I did check, my Moonberry Car is there! Thank you so much!)
Hi Prettypikachu! Glad you found your car! I sent you an email about it before I saw this so just ignore it! (I think when we award them from the backend there is no notification via KinzPost – they just appear!) :)
HiHiya, Mandy! Yep, me too! LOL, we will be sure to ignore it! (Okay, thank you!) I also submitted my postcards, I just rotated the pictures and put them into the template, and submitted them :) They’re a little bit pixelated, but they look good for the most part! Thanks for all of your help, Ganz, and I’m glad everything was figured out! Have a nice Fourth Of July, everyone!
Ignore the Hi. XD
You forgot a comma in the third paragraph between “Webkinz” and “but”. Commas separate independent clauses.
Ooh, I really would like to enter this contest! I’ve even got a couple of ideas already! Good luck to everyone entering! :)
Thanks! Good luck to you too! ❤ :)
This is a really cool idea!! I’m not sure if I’ll enter it or not, (I’m not really good with these types of contests), but good luck to everyone who does! :)
I bet you will do great! :) Good luck! ❤
What a fun contest. There’s so many talented and creative webbies – I’m anxious to see the results.
Yay! This will be SO fun!
This is the coolest ever!!!!!!!!!! I hope I win. Good luck everyone! I’m not a very good drawer, but I’ll give it my best shot!
Good luck! I am sure you will do a great job! ❤
Thnks greenmgic77! You too! By the way, did you get your computer yet? Make sure to invite me as soon as you do!! :)
