Blizzard EU announces WWI08 fan art contest

The Worldwide Invitational is more than just Blizzard strutting their stuff. They also have a few contests to let you strut your stuff. The latest announcement is... a Fan Art contest!

They're asking for an exclusive piece of artwork from one of their Blizzard game franchises. They're asking that submissions be high definition JPG images, with a 1920x1200 resolution and no larger than 3 MB in size. I wear the world's largest dunce cap when it comes to this sort of art, so I am not sure if those are highly limiting requirements or not. Perhaps you can fill me in!

Registration is being done online, and it is taking place between June 6th and June 16th. Blizzard has posted the full rules on EU website, so you can head that way if you're in the mood for some legalese. They've also posted the prizes, which I've tucked behind the cut.

These prizes are listed on the EU page announcing the contest, so cash values are listed in Euros rather than US Dollars. If you want to do the conversion of value to USD, I believe it is currently roughly 1.6 USD for every Euro.

First Place
- 1 Philips Aurea FlatTV 42" (value: ca. 3774 €)
- 1 Philips amBX kit premium (value: ca. 350 €)
- 1 World of Warcraft subscription free of charge for 1 year
- 1 ticket for the Worldwide Invitational
Second Place
- 1 Philips amBX kit premium (value: ca. 350 €)
- 1 set of World of Warcraft action figures
- 1 World of Warcraft subscription free of charge for 1 year
- 1 ticket for the Worldwide Invitational

Third Place
- 1 Philips amBX kit premium (value: ca. 350 €)
- 1 World of Warcraft subscription free of charge for 1 year
- 1 ticket for the Worldwide Invitational

While this is currently only on the EU page, it may open up to the US as well. There's a pretty good chance it won't, however, since the Worldwide Invitational takes place in Paris.

Kind of sucks that it's a WORLDWIDE invitational yet these contests are only open to certain European countries. :\

Ah well, I'll keep working on my piece in the hopes that they have a US version sometimes.

I would expect them to have similar contests for the Blizzcon 08, which will likely to open to US Residents only, so I think you'll have a chance to compete for fabulous prizes.

No, those size requirements are not difficult at all.
