BlizzCon 2015 contest sign ups coming soon

Blizzard released a reminder this week that their legendary BlizzCon 2015 contests will be open for sign up soon. But, more importantly, that you should start now on your entry. Given the intricate work that went into the submissions of winners from previous years, you’re going to need as much time as you can get if you are going to win the top prize.

This year both live contests, costume and talent, return to the BlizzCon stages. Also art and machinima contests are back and can be submitted online when the details are announced.

Last year’s costume contest winner, Py Wilson as Grand Empress Shek’zeer, was simply stunning and she has quite a story about its creation. Likewise, the art and machinima winners are equally as impressive. You can watch the machinima winner below.

If you can’t make it to BlizzCon this year, the Virtual Ticket will likely include the costume contest as it did in previous years (plus, you can get this year’s goody bag with a Virtual Ticket purchase!)

The costume contest is one of the highlights for me every year at BlizzCon. I can’t wait to see what fans come up with this year. I’m betting on more than a few Pepe sightings and I’m expecting to see some stunning Overwatch cosplay as well. Official deadlines, rules and entry information for all contests will be revealed Soon™.
