Quote fromWe are now accepting submissions for this year's BlizzCon Movie, Original Song, and Fan Art contests. Head over to the contest page to submit your entries by 12 p.m. PST on July 24, and you could win some great prizes or a chance to have your work showcased at the show. We'll be announcing specific prizing and submission guidelines for all of our BlizzCon contests as they become available, so stay tuned to [url]www.blizzcon.com[/url'] for further updates.
As noted, the three competitions will be in reference to three separate art forms- music, motion picture, and good ol' fashioned hand-drawn fan artwork. So, for those of you that have not won a previous contest here or elsewhere to participate in the Blizzard fun and merriment, this may be your chance to shine!
The rewards were not explicitly dictated in any measure except for the small bit about winners having the possibility of their work showing up at the BlizzCon this year.
Anyone interested is encouraged to keep an eye on the official BlizzCon website, [url]www.blizzcon.com[/url], for further updates regarding the competitions. Better get cracking, though- entries are due by July 24th!

Oh, they've added some more contests while at Blizzon. Costume, Sound-alike, and Dance... that'd be fun to see. No mention of prizes for those contests yet.
I was so stoked for this, then when I'm reading the rules I notice that it's NOT OPEN FOR CANADA! Yeh, that's pretty awesome I guess. Thanks for that. I guess an ONLINE competition is pretty inconvenient when it includes us.
***EDIT
Cdnalsi, I second your post...
If you couldn't use Blizzard stuff in that way in your entry(/ies), you couldn't actually even enter anything remotely referring to anything made by Blizzard because it's all techicanlly copyrighted, trademarked, etc. So I would say yes.
If you want to be absolutely sure, I'd go maybe try to contact a Blizzard representative- try the customer forum at the Battle.net board or emailing Blizzard.
i was real excited for this contest but now i'm hesitant for even sending it in. can anybody clarify rule 7?
here it is, copied from the contest rules. any help would be great. this is kind of urgent considering the contest deadline is only a few days away cheerz
