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.
A few things to remember…
You can enter as many designs as you want!
Contestants MUST upload their work to the Webkinz Day Pet 2017 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.
You don’t NEED to include ideas for this pet’s adoption gifts (PSI & PSF), but you can draw them if you want.
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 meet the newest member to the Webkinz Family!
Just to be clear, we can use any previously provided template, like from Year 10 or other contests, and this one?
Any template.. no template.. whatever you want :)
Well, generally when I try to upload something to the Share Center, my computer won’t allow me to find the images I want when I click “Browse.” If that would change, I would certainly enter! It’ll be so fun to see what people come up with.
I am using the cat template.
count me in!
also, one of my entries will be a dust bunny. :3
I was going to do that to!
Too, not to.
can I use the dog template?
Yes.
How can we get copies of the blank pet without a printer? Really want to enter! Good Luck to Everyone!!!
Get a friend to print?
Great Suggestion Sally! Thanks:}
Can we draw our own templates? Does my design have to say “DESIGN A 2017 WEBKINZ” on the page? And does it have to have the Webkinz logo on the page as well? Thanks!
Yes, no, no.
Do we need to name our pets that we send?
You may include a suggestion, if you like.
ok good cause I made one and don’t know what to call it
I am so excited about this contest!!!
I’m not an artist,nor do I know how to download photos, drawings etc., especially on the library’s computers, but I sure am looking forward to seeing the pet designs that so many talented members of the Webkinz community create!!! ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫
if you click the link for the downloading website you can watch a video that explains everything they made it kid friendly so, it’s easy to do. If you are not much of an artist you can still try if you want good luck to you as well. :)
