Blizzard Holiday Card Contest 2011

Blizzard Holiday Card Contest 2011

One Blizzard holiday tradition involves creating a festive greeting card to share the joy of the season... with a unique Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo touch. We’re inviting you to join us in spreading the holiday cheer by crafting a Blizzard-themed holiday card of your own featuring characters or themes from the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo series.

To participate in our third annual Blizzard Holiday Card Contest, submit your entries by 11:59 p.m. PST on December 13, 2011. Deserving winners could receive:

First Place

  • Wacom Bamboo Create Pen Tablet
  • Marauder StarCraft II Gaming Keyboard
  • Banshee StarCraft II Gaming Headset
  • Spectre StarCraft II Gaming Mouse

Second Place

  • Marauder StarCraft II Gaming Keyboard
  • Banshee StarCraft II Gaming Headset
  • Spectre StarCraft II Gaming Mouse

Third Place

  • StarCraft II Zerg Edition Messenger Bag

While crafting your holiday masterpiece, please keep the following in mind:

  • Holiday cards must be based on the Diablo, StarCraft, or Warcraft universes -- or all three!
  • Cards will be judged for originality, design, humor, and/or holiday cheer.
  • The file that you submit must be less than 5MB, but don’t sacrifice quality by over-compressing your image.

Check out the official rules for more information.

i think blizzard should do something like create a caption, somewhat like what yahoo does in the MMA blogs. i think we could get some funny captions to certain picture that WoW provides and makes a lot fo people laugh lol

Same as all the contest lately, every prize except the pen tablet is StarCraft related. I would probably get in on this if not for the fact that I don't have an interest in StarCraft prizes :op

as well I'd say I'm a sudden fan of Avery Faith but that's not going to make me play Starcraft.

How many entries can we do? Is there a limit?

I'd rather win WoW stuff, but I'd be happy to get ANY fancy gaming gear they wanna give me.

"During the Contest, qualified entrants may submit ya digital photograph of a holiday card"
Digitally created, like on a computer only. Meaning Traditional means cannot be used?

@Zemiki: judging by what you just said, i think they mean you take a digital photo of your card, and upload that

Wait, I'm confused. Do you want just the front cover, or do you want the inside and back of the card to be fully designed too? Do you want us to make it in real life and send a photo?

Why do they always give sc2 stuff out? why not offer a choice to the winners or something (but i play sc2 and id pick the sc2 gear every time). That being said, its still a valid question.

@Èlmó: Got any lotto government thing? It is the reason why quebec (in canada) is never eligible though the rest of the country is. Stupid government wanting to get money from everything that isnt their own lottery or contests.. ~rolls eyes~
