Blizzard announces holiday card contest

by Mike Schramm Nov 12th 2009 at 6:50PM

Blizzard has made it a holiday tradition to release a holiday card every year (usually drawn by Samwise), but this year they're putting a little twist on it. They're running a contest asking the potential artists among you to submit your own original Blizzard-themed holiday card. Download their template, fill it up with Diablo, Starcraft, or Warcraft-related holiday art (no Lost Vikings or Rock N' Roll Racing art, apparently), submit it on the contest page before December 7th, and you can win a whole slew of prizes from Blizzard and Razer, including a mouse, keyboard, and headset, as well as a signed copy of Blizzard's 2009 holiday card from Samwise himself.

So artists, get to, um, "art"-ing! We can't wait to see your rendition of Deathwing as Santa Claus, Kerrigan as the Mrs., and a whole tribe of Fallen Ones standing in for the little elves.

Wouldn't those rocket boots make the BE fly backwards?

Probably a good thing. Would be very amusing to see a BE flattened against a brick wall.

Duh, they're specially designed WSG boots. All you have to do is grab the flag, then SHOOM! You're zipping backwards out of the base. Taking the time to turn around is for losers.

OMG Rock and Roll Racing, greatest racing game ever. Never really listened to Black Sabbath before I played that game, now of course I love em.

Blatantly stolen from some other comments section, because my memory sucks:

"The Stage is set, the green flag drops!"

"Kat should avoid mines..."

"Olaf hit the warp!"

"Viper is in another Time Zone!"

Kanye should think about putting Gran Turismo in it's place.

Nobody said engineers had common sense....

What's worth noting, the contest is open for a lot more European countries than Blizzard contests usually are.

Meaning the Polish or Czech players are no longer left out. Yay. Now if I only could draw... ;)

No Lost Vikings?

Lame. Best game Blizzard ever made.
