We are adding 5 new prizes to the SPREE mall on July 2! Save up your mall credits… you’ll want to use them to trade for 3 new homes you can add to the border of your yard, a new pet buddy and a designer purse that your pet can wear.

We had originally announced that we were going to release a second pet buddy, however due to a design update, it will be released at a future date.

When was the last time you made it to the mall during a game of SPREE? You still have time to pick up the Gold Leaf Coffee Table and Electric Keyboard before they are removed on July 2, to make room for the new items:

Play SPREE at the Webkinz Arcade and use the credits you collect to trade for prizes when you make it to the mall!

Do you like the new prizes? Let us know in the comment section below.

I am pleased to present the winners of the Room Design Awards! 10 talented finalists have won a Room Design Trophy, and have joined an elite group of award winners.

Click on a button below to see the winning designs:

If you have been selected as one of the winners, please check your inbox this afternoon for an email that will explain how to get your trophy.

If you want to be eligible to become a finalist the next time we hold the Room Design Awards, send me a screenshot of your favorite Webkinz room. You can email it to me at letsbuild@ganz.com. Good luck!

When choosing finalists for the Room Design Awards, I look for designs that tell a story in a simple screenshot, smaller rooms that are carefully crafted without feeling cluttered, or rooms that use a variety of items from various themes, but seem as though they were made to work together. Simply, I look for brilliant room designs, and these are just that!

There are some veteran room designers that deserve to be in the finals, but I tried to choose players who had never won a Room Design Trophy in the past.

Congratulations to the following 24 room designer… you have made it to the finals! Please look over each room design carefully. You’ll be able to vote for your favorites from June 12 – 14:

Congratulations finalists… and good luck!

Remember, 10 Room Design Trophies will be awarded this time around. Here’s how the winners will be chosen:

• 5 winners will be decided by a vote, right here on Webkinz Newz. From Friday, June 12 – Sunday, June 14 (ending @ midnight, EST), players can vote for their top 3 favorite designs and the 5 designers who receive the most votes will be awarded a Room Design Trophy.
• 4 winners will be chosen by the Webkinz Newz Team. Sally, Mandy, Steve and I will each choose our favorite room design and the designers will be awarded a Room Design Trophy
• The 10th winner will be chosen by the Webkinz staff

If you would like to have a room design featured in one of my posts, you will need to send me a screenshot of your room. You can email it to letsbuild@ganz.com. If I feature it, you will be eligible to become a finalist the next time we hold the Room Design Awards… Good luck!

It looks like a lot of you have been working on room designs lately, because my inbox is full with room design submissions. Thanks to everyone who sent one in! There is a little bit of a backlog building up, so if you have sent in a design, you may have to wait several weeks for it to show up in a room design post.

In any case, I am excited to show you today’s designs. There are 24 in the group including an Old Country Saloon, Yard Sale and a Whodunnit Murder Mystery room… enjoy!

Do you want to be featured in one of my room design posts? Send me screenshots of some of your favorite rooms! You can e-mail them to letsbuild@ganz.com… I look forward to sharing them with the Webkinz Newz community!

10 designers will be joining an elite group of Room Design Award winners, but I need your help to decide who will be taking home the infamous Room Design Trophy!

It was particularly difficult narrowing the list down to 22 finalists, so I decided that players who had already won a Room Design Trophy in the past, would not be eligible to win this time around.

Special shout-out to Autumn, Nattie, Grandpascutie, Traveller, Coco, Kibarry73 & Gappytoo! They have each submitted some excellent room designs since the last Room Design Awards were held however, they have each won trophies in the past, so you won’t see them among the finalists below. Traveller’s “Saving The Koala” room was a particularly touching tribute to the koalas suffering from the Australian wildfires. I hope we continue to see room designs from each of you moving forward!

And now for the finalists! There are 22 in the group, but only 10 will be taking home a Room Design Trophy. Please take a look at each room design carefully. On Friday, March 13th, you’ll be asked to pick your top 3 favorites:

Congratulations finalists… I wish you each the best of luck!
