Blizzard Entertainment is proud to present its first global writing contest. If you enjoy the Blizzard Entertainment universes and have the drive to pen fantasy fiction in them, here’s your chance to shine.

Whether you conjure stories in your free time or write for a living, you’re encouraged to participate. This contest is open to entrants from around the world, and will be judged by Blizzard Entertainment’s own writers and masters of lore.

To enter, submit a 3,000 to 10,000 word story written in English and set in the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo universe by April 12 and earn your chance to visit the Blizzard Entertainment headquarters and meet the writers and staff behind the lore seen in the games and books.

Grand Prize
Trip to Blizzard Entertainment headquarters in Southern California to meet and eat with the Blizzard writing staff, and a Frostmourne sword.

Runner Up
Seven runners-up will receive prize packages consisting of signed copies of the Diablo Archive, Warcraft Archive, StarCraft Archive, and the Warcraft War of the Ancients Archive.

I can only imagine the thousands of entries. Very cool grand prize though, it's good to see developers taking the time to give something back to the community (even if they probably will edit, sell and make millions from your winning story).

All the Blizzard compo's I've seen so far have been restricted to a few countries in Europe and USA.

It would be pretty cool to read the wining entry.

More like millions.
 
I'd love to go to Blizzard but I don't really think that should be all for the first prize. Its a field trip, a very very awesome one at that. Would be cool if you got some hampers and things to remember the trip by, but I'm sure you would.

My writing skills are no where near high enough, so I'll give it a miss.
 
Hhmm, are they looking for some material to use somewhere perhaps?
They don't have any more material of their own? :D

Nice prizes though, and if you're good enough, you might land a job at Blizzard :cool:
 
Wish I was good enough for this opportunity. Writing stories for Blizzard games would be simply brilliant!
