Diablofans BlizzCon Contest Winners Announced!
If I had my say, I'd make sure every last one of you received tickets to BlizzCon. Alas, Blizzard supplied us with 3 tickets to the big convention, so we had to narrow it down to the top entries in each contest category. It was very hard to narrow down the winners and all three of the contests were extremely close! That being said, we'll also be sending out Diablofans.com t-shirts to the runner-ups of each category so they won't be going home empty-handed!
Without further adieu, I now present you with our BlizzCon ticket contest winners!

Must... Make... on topic...!
Specifically with the artwork, it was very, very difficult to choose. A lot of it looked like it could be real concept art or something-or-other, and some of it was very unique in style and approach. The skills were mostly very creative, some of them less serious than others (* cough Blizzard representative cough*), but were overall mostly good.
I know I lost the skills contest because I didn't put effort into the trees and saying what level were required, where they could be allocated, etc...
Gypsy rightfully won it, was a very detailed skill tree.
I thought the Blizzard representative one was hilarious, because it's partially true.
I't was fun and interesting following this contest these past weeks.
Blizzard should consider having a contest like this to. If we look at how awesome the enteries for this small contest was, imagen a contest launched officialy by Blizzard!
And thank you to everyone who voted for me!!!!!!! (And thanks, mordred!:D)
Roskvape
All in all it turned out really well I must say. It's great to know that we have a community that wants to get involved like this
Are you kidding a chance to go to Blizzcon 09 would be AWESOME! Especially sine I'm an hours drive from the site. I had to enter the contest even though I knew I didn't have that Originality in my Classes I just wanted to get them out there to have that chance.
I must say thank you Diablofans for even having these contests!
special props to you roskvape
you came in first or honorable mention on all contests!
way to go!
really glad to see you'll be going
Um, wo wo wow. Thanks so much Guys!!!
I live in Australia though and I highly doubt i'm going to be able to take the time off to go to Blizzcon09!!!! As much as I'd love to as I am a HUGE fan of Diablo and just cannot wait for D3 - I don't think i will be able to make it. I entered the Contest purely for fun and didn't expect to win!!
What are my options here guys? GOD can't believe i got a blizzcon ticket and can't go :'(
Hey Mockery - didn't you miss out on a Ticket mate? Would you like to buy the one i won off me for the normal sale price or something? I'm sure you are really pissed that you missed out and i'd love to help another Diablo fan get to Blizzcon in my stead...
Thanks so much for choosing 'Monks of Sanctuary' as the winner guys!! Very very cool! I think it might even inspire me to try my hand at a few more short stories!
Cheers!
Shibblicious
Maybe if you have Directv you can get a free pass on that?
I'm not sure I think they will pass it down to Runner up? I'm really not sure of the procedure.
Cant wait to meet some of you at blizzcon
