Summer is here and yet our view is already turning to BlizzCon. Yes, it might not be until October but Blizzard has just announced a series of contests on the World of Warcraft community site.

Any one interested in taking part in the official BlizzCon 2011 fan art, movie and original song contests has until August 23rd (just under a month from now) to do so. Even better, the contests are global so almost everyone can enter. This is just the first batch of official contests - many of which provide the line up for the infamous Saturday night line up - so start brainstorming those ideas. Yes, the road to BlizzCon is very definitely open and it’s going to get busy in the next few months as we count down the days.
