Prize Package
It wouldn’t be much of a competition without a fabulous prize. The top Hearthstone cosplayer in this contest will take home an exclusive Aluneth staff replica!
The winner will also be invited to join us in Cologne, Germany for gamescom 2018, including travel, event admission, and two-night accommodation. You’ll be able to show off your Hearthstone cosplay on our gamescom stage, where our film crew will capture the moment you lay your hands on Aluneth in a special awards ceremony.
Contest Guidelines
Your final entry must be submitted via email by 23:59 CEST on July 27, 2018 in order to be considered. Don’t forget to include the photo of your final cosplay!
The contest is open to individuals aged 13 years and over. Minors under the age of 18 must have the authorization of a parent or guardian to participate.
Cosplay submissions must be based on an existing Hearthstone card (all formats). Personal interpretations of cards are permitted, and creativity is encouraged. Judging criteria will be based on how well the cosplay represents the Hearthstone card and the Hearthstone spirit: fun, light-hearted, and delightfully surprising!
A jury of Blizzard Entertainment employees will choose a contest winner on August 1, 2018, who will be contacted via email from CMTeamEU-Hearthstone@blizzard.com by August 6 in order to arrange travel to gamescom 2018.
Be sure to read the full contest rules for complete details, guidelines, and eligibility requirements.
Good luck!
