Friday the 13th Gift Certificate Winners!

Well sadly I am unlucky xD but read the post below :)

 Hi there, friends!

Sheriff Steele and I had a great time meeting and chatting with many of our friends in Pandanda yesterday. We gave out Panda Gold to lots of lucky pandas! And the luckiest pandas of them all are the 5 players who were chosen at random to win an Elite Gift Certificate. These pandas are from all over the world - Australia, Brazil, Czech Republic, Qtar, and the USA. It's awesome that Pandanda is worldwide!

Congratulations to Pandanda's newest Elite members: huglebugle12, panduzo34, sadhkeerthu, Sarka24, and WhattyWot! Each of those players had a 1-month Elite Gift Certificate send to the email address that their account is registered to. I see that sadhkeerthu and Sarka24 have already used theirs, and are now enjoying the privileges of Elite membership!

I also see that one lucky and observant panda found the Elite Gift Code that I hid in yesterday's Blog. Congratulations to lucario2915 for finding and using the hidden code. You never know when I might hide another code in my Blog, so keep on the lookout! Codes can only be used one time, so if you find it, make sure to use it right away!

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures from my visits yesterday. Talk about lucky!

Party on, Pandas!

Spring Theme Player Card Contest WINNERS!

Sorry pandas, that I haven't been posting for a while, I've been busy and just don't have time to manage a fourth blog, but I will continue to work my butt off on trying to post lol.

FINALLY! Henry has posted the winners of the Spring Themed Player Card Contest WINNERS! Keep your fingers crossed!!

The judges have finished their judging for the Spring Theme Player Card Contest, and once again, you made it a very hard job for us! We really enjoyed looking at all of the cute, creative, and interesting designs submitted. So, in addition to choosing one Grand Prize Winner, we also chose five Honorable Mentions!

The GRAND PRIZE WINNER of the 2012 Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest is:   

pandaNUNU!

Congratulations to pandaNUNU! She will have her design turned into an actual player card background with her name on it by our graphic artists, to be available in Pandanda during the Easter Egg Hunt that begins on March 30th. She will also receive: 

• a 6-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate
• 5000 Panda Power
• 200 Panda Gold

And here are the five Honorable Mention designs:

From left to right, the Honorable Mention artists are orangeclie, HI8642, carina1998, Drusilla, and Buster55555. Each of those players will receive a 1-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate. Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry to the contest. All of us here at Pandanda appreciate the time, effort, and creativity you put into your drawing. Since there were so many great entries, you can look for even more designs to appear for sale in future catalogs!

I am planning another contest for April, one that won't require any artistic ability! Watch my blog for more information in April!

Party on, Pandas!

Congratulations to all the winners! I was hoping that my friend osita1 would win though... I wonder what the "graphical" version will look like? We'll see soon ;) and best of all, Henry is planning another contest for April that won't require any artistic ability, maybe a raffle or something.

New Clothing plus a Pot of Gold!

Finally, Pandanda has updated the clothing for Spring! Or ... only St. Patrick's Day. Though there are only around two pages.

My membership expired yesterday, so I had to sell a few things, the limit amount of clothes for non-members is 200. For elite-members it's 500. Which is weird since, last month before I renewed my membership, I had around 300, and it still allowed me to buy more clothes.

I love the new clothing, very green ;) my favorite color is green. One more thing, you can get a Pot of Gold for your tree house for 490. It's a great addition to your tree to make it more "leprechaun-ish".

Pandanda Hat Day!

While Zing will be arriving on Monday with cool new prizes, it' also going to be hat day! There are all kinds of hats you can wear.. I have a feeling that the new Zing prize will be a hat. I wonder what the theme will be? Probably Easter or Spring. Henry has put up a new poll, How many Pandanda hats do you have? I counted mine, I have 41 hats and 65 head items. Take a look at the post below:

Hey Pandas!

Today's the day to prepare for Zing Ballyhoo's arrival on Monday by wearing your favorite hat! There have been lots of cool and crazy hats, and other stuff to wear on your head, given out as prizes and gifts in the years that Pandanda has been open. And even more hats have been available in the many different clothing catalogs that have been published.

So let's see every furry panda head covered with some kind of fabulous hat today. You might even want to see how many different hats you can wear while you play today. And if you wear a hat with a certain "character", why not try out your acting skills and become that character! Pirate, Roman soldier, jester, Uncle Sam, princess, knight, wizard, Santa Claus - there are so many possibilities!

You can even vote in the new poll to let us know how many hats you have in your Pandanda closet! The poll is only open for 24 hours, so get your vote in! 

Just a reminder, the deadline for submitting your Spring Theme Player Card Background drawings is getting closer, but you still have until 11:59pm PST on Wednesday, March 14th to send your drawing in to us. You can read more about it in my Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest! post on March 1st,  and in the Contest Update post on March 5th. Remember, you can include a suggestion for a simple animation for your background.

I tip my Hat to you all!

Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest Update

Hello everyone, I am the new author for Pandanda Funzone! I will try my best to keep track of all the lastest news coming up in Pandanda, etc. Henry has made a few updates for the Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest. Look at the post below!

Hi everyone!

The Spring Theme Player Card Drawing Contest is going great! We have seen some beautiful and creative player card background drawings, and even a few with animation suggestions. We can't wait to see more! Remember, entries must be received at contest@pandanda.com no later than 11:59pm PST on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 21st in my Blog.

I want to take a minute to remind everyone to read the contest rules carefully. Many of the entries we have received are not eligible win the contest because they did not follow the Rules of the Contest.

1. Your entry must be sent from the email address that your Pandanda account is registered to. An easy way to make sure that you are using the right address is by logging into your Account Management page. When you log in there with your panda name and password, you will see the email address that you used when you created your account. This is the email address that you must send your contest entry from.

2. You must make sure that your panda's name is in your email. Otherwise, how can we know which panda to award the Grand Prize to?You can also use your panda name as the name for the image file you send.

3. Your drawing must be completely your own work. Whether you use crayons on paper, or a drawing/painting program on your computer, everything on your drawing must be created by you.

4. You may only send in ONE entry each day.

So, what can you do if you think you sent in an entry that did not follow those rules? If you sent your entry from the wrong email address, send it again from the right address. If you didn't put your panda name in your email, send your entry again and include your panda name. If you sent more than one entry on one day, you can send those entries again, but this time send just ONE each day for the rest of the contest. And if you sent a drawing that wasn't your own work, you still have plenty of time to design and draw your own, original player card background!

Here are some things you need to enter the contest:

• The Player Card Template
• The email address to send your entry: contest@pandanda.com

You can read my original Contest announcement here. And if you have questions, you can send them to that same contest@pandanda.com address.

Happy drawing!
Henry
