Hallow's End Contests

Hallow's End Screenshot Contest

Spooky season has come once again to Azeroth and all the inhabitants of the world are getting into the spirit of Hallow's End. Innkeepers trick, or treat, passersby and adventures put on masks, disguising themselves with masks and costumes, and pass behind enemy lines to take pictures of themselves in festive settings in the enemy territory!

To participate in the Hallow's End Screenshot Contest, simply make your way to that race's territory. Then, find a spooky setting and snap a picture of yourself, possibly adding some sort of costume or disguise to your character’s looks, for example one of the Halloween masks which are currently available from Innkeepers throughout the country. Submit your screenshot here and remember to select the category "Screenshot Contest." The winners will be announced on our website and will be notified by email so that they can claim their prizes: a World of Warcraft t-shirt and a World of Warcraft baseball cap!

In order to increase your chances of being picked as one of the winners, please keep the following items in mind when posing for and taking your the screenshots you intend to submit:

  • Unless the Interface is part of what you are trying to show off, please turn it off by pressing Alt + Z in the game.
  • Remember to disable player and NPC names unless they are relevant to the screenshot.
  • Turn up your graphics settings to the highest quality to ensure that your screenshot is the best it can be. You need only keep these settings while taking your screenshots.
  • Screenshots that are heavily or obviously modified in a program such as Adobe Photoshop will not be accepted.
  • Don't overcompress your submissions. Although all files must be in JPEG format, beware overcompressing them. Try using Irfanview to convert the files from .TGA to .JPG.

Hallow's End Recipe Contest

As part of celebrating Hallow's End, the denizens of Azeroth are brewing up more than just spooky fun. Send us your Hallow's End alchemy and cooking recipes. The most creative and interesting recipes will be posted on our website and will win cool, real-world prizes!

The recipes should use components actually found in the game, though the components need not be actual in-game reagents. For example, you can have a recipe that calls for using Leather Boots. In addition to instructions on how many and what kind of components to gather, you will need to include a description of how to prepare the food or potion and what the prepared potion or food will do. Be creative! Look below for a couple of sample recipe formats (note: these recipes are actually in the game):

Recipe: Egg Nog
Recipe: Stupid Smile

To submit your recipes, email them to Contest-EU@blizzard.com with "Hallow's End Recipe Contest EN" in the subject. Do not attach your submissions; type them in the body of the email. Also, do not send images.
