Announcing a new Pet Design Contest – and this time the pet will be up to you! Will it be a dog, a bird, a dragon, a dust bunny??? We cannot wait to see what you come up with!
That’s right – this your chance to design a brand new virtual Webkinz pet which will be sold in Ganz eStore starting on Webkinz Day – April 29, 2017.
This year – we are letting your imagination run free. You can design whatever type of animal you want. You can use our basic template below if you want, as a guideline. And if you are looking for some different body types, feel free to use the templates we included with our Design a Halloween Pet contest or make your own!
When you’re done you upload your drawing to the Webkinz Day Pet 2017 gallery in the Share Center.
The winner will receive a virtual version of their winning entry, a brand new Pet Design Trophy plus a 1 Year Deluxe Membership. The nine runners-up will receive a 1 Month Deluxe Membership.
The contest runs from January 1 – 31, 2017. We will narrow down the selection to 10 finalists and post the short list on Friday, February 3. Then, after taking your comments into consideration, we will announce the winning design on Valentine’s Day 2017.
Then, our talented artists go to work – taking the winning design and turning it into an awesome pet that will available in the Ganz eStore on April 29, 2017.

Bring on your ideas! We can’t wait to meet the newest member to the Webkinz Family!
OMG!!!!! I can finally design pets that are foxes or ducks!!!!! I have SOOO many ideas! I can use my plush pets as models and draw them. Good luck to everyone!!
Is there a max. size for paper being used? I have a big pad of paper and its 11 in. by 15 in. and I’m gonna draw big.
As long as you can scan it or take a picture of it so that it’s visible and clear, you can use any size you want.
ok thanks, I’m working on a confetti duck. I think Webkinz should have more than 2 ducks! :) I might also do bedazzled fox or cat! :D
I want to jump out of my chair! This rocks! :D
Do we have to use a template, or can we draw free on a piece of paper?
You don’t have to use a template :)
You guys rock! :D
Can you just design a pet and not print that?
Yep!
Typo :) unless you’ve mastered time travel.
Haha, good one, Sally xD
Yes!! Finally we get to create any pet we want. I can’t wait to see all the awesome designs!!!!!!!!! :) Good luck to everyone entering.
I can’t wait! I already saw it on the share center and had a really good idea!
The tiger lily pup is one of my favorites, and is still one of the prettiest designed pets ever!! Can’t wait to see everyone’s ideas!
A Webkinz dust bunny brings forth many interesting ideas (to me anyway). /there are so many superb artists on here that waiting on pictures will be difficult! Totally off-topic, when I play Atlantiles, I do not get any points added to my total. Is anyone else having this problem? Thank you. ♥♥♥foxpaws♥♥♥
This contest sound AMAZING :D I’m can’t wait to get started.
I can’t wait!!! I’m going to design tons of googles!
