Our brand new Signature Endangered line launches this month with the Signature Endangered Bengal Tiger, and we’ve got a special contest to celebrate. We want to hear your top ten favorite Endangered Animals!

Entering the contest by telling us your top ten favorite Endangered Species will give you a chance to win the Animal Rescue Prize Pack, which includes both an Animal Rescue Jacket and Animal Rescue Jeep. These special items are available only on the Ganz eStore!

The contest opens at 12:00 am EST on March 10, 2010 and ends at 11:59 pm EST on March 16, 2010. For details on how to enter the contest and the official contest rules, click here.

Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we’ve got the perfect contest for the heart-warming holiday. We want you to write us a romantic rhyming couplet about the Love Lion! The Love Lion is our newest Valentine’s Day seasonal pet, and there is no better way to celebrate its release than to put your words of love into rhyme!

Never written a rhyming couplet before? It’s easy. A rhyming couplet is a pair of two lines where the last words of each line rhyme! Come up with a fun one about the Love Lion and love, submit it, and you could win!

Winners will receive the rare Bed of Roses (the “prize”), which can only be acquired by registering a certain number of pets. We just gave a few away with our recent Twitter contest, so this will be the last chance to snag one of these superbeds through a contest for a while!

The contest opens at 12:00 a.m. EST on February 10, 2010 and ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on February 14, 2010. For details on how to enter the contest and the official contest rules, click here.

Winterfest arrives this weekend, and we’re celebrating with a contest! This time around, we’re asking you to design an awesome outdoor room. Using only W Shop items, design an outdoor yard that screams “winter wonderland”.

Entries are judged on originality and suitability, as well as creative use of W Shop items. The five (5) most original entries will each win a Build-A-Snow-Fort Seige Tower (the “Prize”), one of the most exciting new items added to the Ganz eStore this winter.

The contest opens at 12:00 am EST on January 23, 2010 and ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on January 29, 2010. For details on how to enter the contest and the official contest rules, and to submit your entry when the contest opens, visit the Contests page. Good luck, and enjoy this year’s wonderful Winterfest!

As one of our surprise Christmas contests for 2009, we gave members the chance to win the extremely limited Holiday 2009 virtual pet, the Sweet Tooth Tiger. Everyone who logged into Webkinz World on Christmas Day was entered into a draw for one of 25 Sweet Tooth Tiger pet codes. This rare pet will not be released as plush or through the Ganz eStore.

We’re happy to announce that the 25 winners have been selected! To find out if you’re one of the lucky 25, simply log into Webkinz World, and check your KinzPost mail. As announced by the Creative Director on the official Webkinz Twitter feed, the winners have all received a KinzPost message with the pet code for the Sweet Tooth Tiger! Congratulations to those who won!

We’d like to thank everyone who entered the contest and joined us on Webkinz World for Christmas. We had a great time this year with all the fun things to do, and we look forward to many more great events in the year to come!
