Nothing makes the team at Webkinz happier than introducing pets, items, and clothing to our game that have been designed by our fans! And to celebrate our 15th anniversary we’re excited to announce a brand new contest, unlike any we’ve done before!
This time, we want our fans to come up with a whole new Room Theme that will be released in the W Shop this summer. One creative designer will be selected to have their idea turned into actual theme in Webkinz World. Now is your chance to submit your very own design for a Room Theme.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Here’s how to enter.
Please ONLY submit one entry per Room Theme. Do not submit multiple drawings. There are THREE things you need to include with your entry:
- Theme Name
- 1 drawing of a CHAIR for your room theme
- list of 3 other items that will be a part of the theme
Please include the name and the list in the text field marked ‘Description’ when you upload your image.
The contest runs from April 1 to April 19, 2020. We will announce 10 finalists on April 21 and, after getting feedback from the Webkinz community, we will announce the winning theme on Webkinz Day, April 29, 2020!
As well as having their theme made into a real virtual theme in Webkinz World, the winner will also receive a new fan-designed Cactus Cat from Ganz eStore and an Item Design Trophy. All ten finalists will each receive a 2020 Spring Super Mystery Bag.
A few things to remember…
- You can enter as many different Room Themes as you want, but please remember – only one drawing of a CHAIR per theme!
- Contestants MUST upload their work to the Room Theme Gallery on the GanzWorld Share Center.
- 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.

Bring on your ideas! We can’t wait to see the next theme to be added to the WShop this summer!
So excited!!!
I’m very excited for this but super worried about making a creative enough chair. I’m just not sure what to do.
When are the photos going up? I sent one in and it’s not up there yet. I’m now not sure if it was actually sent.
Ya same I sent one yesterday and it is still not up and I spent a good amount of time on it and I want to make sure that it went up.
same, I entered mine yesterday and it isn’t here yet
it takes a while
I am new to this whole thing with sharing designs so I uploaded mine yesterday so will we be able to see others designs or does it only show them when the contest has ended? Also if we can see each others drawing how do we see them?
You should see your drawing up on the share center the day after you submit it. (a easy way to get to the place is just clicking the blue text on this article that says Room Theme Gallery). When you get to the site you should be able to see some drawings up and scroll through them. Hope this helps!
Can we draw the other three items?
thats what I was wondering since I drew them…
Hi, dixieandi and flyinghorse3! As I understand by the rules you are to ONLY draw a chair and list the other three items in the description of your submission
Thanks!
I love this idea and I am happy that I reread the instructions as I only need to draw a chair. The other ideas for the room are just listed with a theme title. I can do this. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.
I am exploding with excitement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY want too win ! good luck everyone!
Thank you, I think I will explode to!
There are a few things that I don’t understand about this. Do we have to draw a pet sitting in the chair to show how it works? Do there have to be exactly 3 items besides the chair or can there be more? Do wallpaper and flooring each count as 1 item? Do we have to draw the 3 other items or do we just say what they are?
I think that we should draw the entire room, but I’m not sure if we’re supposed to.
we just draw a chair and list in the description 3 other items that would be in the theme :) we don’t need To draw the whole room or the pet sitting in it :)
Thank you so much! :)
I am SOOO excited! My themes are going to be Twin theme, Royal Theme, and… I don’t know the third yet
Does it matter what type of chair we draw? Should it be an armchair, a dining chair, a stool…?
Does a sofa count as a chair?
I hope so
Both questions I want answered!
Hi, LolliPup and all! I think the chair can be any kind of chair that can seat one pet. I am not sure about the sofa though.
Ok, thanks! Also, I went back and looked at their concept drawings later, and while most of them featured chairs, they also had a few bench/sofa type things. I’m not sure, but I think that they basically want you to do the same, so I would imagine anything that is a seat would be acceptable. Lol I know I’m kind of answering my own question, but hopefully that helps everyone else :)
thank you! I realized that too
