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!
Do you have any idea how big we should make the page (In pixels?) I don’t know how big to make it so it comes in good at the share center. Thanks!
I wouldn’t go more than 1000 pixels wide.
Okay Thank you!
I really like your Gargowl!
This is a question for everyone! What kind of pet do you think webkinz doesn’t have yet?
Can’t wait! Really want to design a pet!
I CAN’T do this on my puter . COULD SOMEONE PLEASE make my pet and add it . It when dome is a REAL animal 6 INCHES LONG . FAIRY PINK with an all WHITE FURRY BELLY ! I would like a PINK FAIRY ARMADILLO and yes these are real . There are Pink ones and Golden Fairy Armadillos . Look on line to see these they are so fuzzy and sleep rolled in an protective ball . They could hide in a pet room with the toys or tucked in a garden . Add wings or costumes they could look awesome. Could someone please add a photo of this REAL LIFE PET !!
IF by chance it wins . I will just be happy it won. If not it still is a cool pink pet !!
Sure! I could make the pet and put it on here! But could it be a Cat instead? I am not a great drawer.
Cool! My mind is already thinking of ideas!
Ugh…. I have no ideas!! Plus I don’t really know how to work the template anyway so I probably won’t enter. Can’t wait to see what other people come up with though!!
I’m really excited for the contest, I already have an idea in mind for a certain pup. Is there any chance we’d get a plush version of the winning design?
Possible, but unlikely.
can I make something that’s kinda Christmas themed?
where can i find a wolf or dragon template
I know many of us were having issues with the last Share Center contest where we could not submit to the correct gallery. Currently, I can see both galleries, Holiday Rooms and this new contest, though neither of them have submit buttons. If this contests’ submit button does not show up when the contest starts on January 1st, is there anything I can do to resolve this issue, or would I be better of, like other players said, to create a new Webkinz Newz account altogether. (I’ve heard other players say this worked for them) I really hope I can enter this time!
If switching browsers does not help, then a new GanzWorld account is your best bet.
I’m having the same problem.
