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!
i am new and starded today and i was wondering do you need to print it out or something because i don’t have an printer or do you go on paint windows app then share it.i am sorry this is my first time and this sounds like so much fun i also like the idea of deluxe membership!
You can do it with either, but the final result has to be uploaded to the Share Center.
i could do a dog!
i will do it
Hooray!!! I’m already bursting with ideas. Thanks for this opportunity!
I’m am NOT going to enter this because i’m not very creative!!
I’m going to make a webkinz tortoiseshell cat! :D
OH MY GOSH! I HAVE TO ENTER THIS! I love Design a Pet Contests soo much! I entered the Halloween one. Thank you soo much Ganz! I was wondering about why this was in the Share Center. I have one more thing, can we design as much pets as we want to?
Yup, just as it says above :)
Sally, can we draw the pet ourself or do we have to use the template? Since we can enter as many as we want, I think the final decision will be pretty difficult.
The article above says that you do not have to use a template.
Sally, thank you so much. I’m super excited for this contest!
Oh, okay. Thanks Sally!
Does it matter if the word ‘Webkinz” is B&W? It printed out with no color.
It doesn’t matter. Just saving you some color ink ;)
Oh , and can we use the other templates in the activities thing? It has the other Webkinz Pet bases too.
Yes
It’s a coloring page at webkinznewz,ganzworld.com/announcements/coloring-pages. Can we use the Horse template and the dog one too?
Sure
I printed out most of them.
Is it ok if we also use an Magic W, except using it without happening to have Rainbow colors.
Yes.
I can’t wait to enter but I’m out of ideas….. Hmm.
Wow, this contest sounds really cool!! :D If I can think of a good idea, I may just enter this!
Aww there should be a dust bunny Webkinz!
You should have seen the giant ball of dryer lint at our house after the flannel sheets were dried! Put a couple of eyes on there and you would have the fluffiest Webkinz ever!!! It was a sweet pale blue and white swirly super-soft fluff ball, but I don’t know how you would design that and know what it is! LOL XD
I actually have a little grey stuffed rabbit ( I can’t remember the manufacturer) that is is called an Official Dust Bunny. It is different shades of grey and looks like a little Angora rabbit, but it’s “fur” looks like matted clumps of dust. It even came with a little draw string “sweeper bag”. I immediately fell in love with it as I howled with laughter. I named it “Ahchoo!” and my husband bought it for me that day! ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫
