Guild Wars 2010 Wintersday art contest underway
Feeling creative this holiday season? ArenaNet has a Guild Wars-themed contest that should pique your interest. Entering is as easy as coming up with an original image featuring a Wintersday theme with a Guild Wars garnish; 2-D and 3-D art is acceptable, as are screenshots, renders, concept art, icons, or photographs. Submit your entry (in .jpeg image format) to contests@arena.net with Guild Wars Wintersday Art Contest 2010 as the subject line. You can also enter via snail mail, and the address as well as the complete contest rules are available on the official Guild Wars website. So what do you get for your trouble? The top three entries will receive a Razer Carcharias gaming headset. Seven second place contestants will take home a Razer Abyssus gaming mouse, and 10 honorable mentions will get an in-game item (the Everlasting Reindeer Tonic). The entry deadline is 12:00 p.m. PST on December 31st, so what are you waiting for?
Guild Wars Wintersday Art Contest winners announced
Last month ArenaNet began their annual Guild Wars Wintersday art contest, offering some coveted prizes in the form of signed copies of The Art of Guild Wars 2, signed art prints from PAX, and everlasting reindeer tonics. As always, participants brought some outstanding talent and creativity to the table, and all the winning entries -- including the adorable Yakkington doll -- showed a fun variety of ideas and themes ranging from funny and random to practical to downright beautiful. The Guild Wars community pitched in to encourage one another in the form of the Wintersday Workshop, a fan-sponsored forum event and contest designed to encourage new artists and old alike. Workshop participants were very happy to see quite a few of their number gaining recognition in the contest. All of the winning entries can be viewed at the official site, and we at Massively join ArenaNet in offering our congratulations to them all.
Guild Wars Wintersday 2009 art contest announced
Wintersday is approaching in Guild Wars, and with it comes grentches, snowmen, candy canes, and the frenzied hunt for the elusive Mini Polar Bear. We'll explore the festivities more later this month, but in the meantime ArenaNet has officially begun the Wintersday Art Contest. Put your creative energies to use while you wait for Wintersday to arrive and create some holiday art with a Guild Wars twist. Three top winners will receive "The Art of Guild Wars 2" signed by the development team, a signed art print from PAX 2008, and a brand new everlasting reindeer tonic. Seven more winners will receive the PAX art print and reindeer tonic, and ten honorable mentions will receive the reindeer tonic. (It should probably go without saying, but it's a good idea not to plagarize anything for this contest. It won't end well.) Full entry details can be found here, so good luck to all of you!
