Bashiok just sent out a quick reminder for me to pass onto you guys in regards to Blizzard's Theme Park Contest. The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 30th, less than a week away! Don't forget, in addition to some great prizes including a Wacom Cintiq and Starcraft 2 beta keys, some of the best entries will be put on display at BlizzCon 2009!
Click here to visit the official Blizzard Theme Park Contest page.
Doh! I thought it wasn't until April 12th? Guess I read wrong or something. I'll have to get cracking on the last few pages, but yeah I'm making that deadline..even if I don't get to finish as much as I want to.
"To enter, submit a 3,000 to 10,000 word story written in English and set in the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo universe by April 12 and earn your chance to visit the Blizzard Entertainment headquarters and meet the writers and staff behind the lore seen in the games and books."
I think you were mixing up the dates with the theme park thing and the creative writing.
The Contest shall commence March 13, 2009 at 12:00 AM PST (8:00 AM BST) (the "Commencement Date"), and shall continue in duration until 11:59 PM PST April 12, 2009 (7:59 PM BST, April 13, 2009) (the "Deadline"). All entries must be received by the Deadline to be eligible to win a prize.
they'll never see me coming.. life is a sequence of tragedies, inconsistent only by fleeting, elusive moments of pleasure,
serving only to ensure absolute vulnerability to the pain of their inevitable absence.
mm i was thinking the topic was pretty dull and uninspirational, but i don't really like theme parks...
i would hate a blizzard theme park.. take characters/places/worlds that are dear to us, chew them up, plasticize them, spit them out, and charge for them.
big guy in a giant cartoonized diablo outfit mopping up puke..
i can just hear the tiltowhirl playing tristram music on a high pitched organ at fast speed.. ugh
but if it inspires you then you should attempt to draw/paint it.
if you can't manifest your idea into some kind of art, then explain your idea and maybe someone else can get inspiration from it.

If I had known about this contest sooner I could have developed a dream park for Blizzard with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum. Not only does that game offer endless possibilities in sandbox mode as well as imported custom banners and signs, but you can mod pretty much anything you want into the game and use it as custom content.

I might just create a Blizzard theme park for fun and post it here.

So who's already turned in their entries? If you haven't already, are you planning on making the deadline?

this one's art, where you're pigeonholed into one (horrible) topic. (march 30th deadline)

this one is writing, where you can write whatever story you want within their worlds. (april 12th deadline)
