Wintersday Art Contest (2008)

“

The temperature is dropping and the calendar is down to its last few pages, which means the year-end holidays are upon us—and that means it's time for the annual Guild Wars® Wintersday Art Contest. If you've ever wanted to creatively combine your holiday spirit with your love of Guild Wars, this is your golden opportunity.

To participate, put your imagination and your artistic talents to work by crafting a piece of seasonal art with a holiday tone and a Guild Wars theme. Any and all ideas are welcome: draft an invitation to the Wintersday Festival, create a poster celebrating the event, or assemble a holiday collage with images of Guild Wars characters. Whatever you choose to create, in whatever medium, don't miss this chance to share your artistic gifts and spread some seasonal joy!
