The World of Warcraft Student Art Contest was created as an outlet for students who are excited about creating stylized, hand-painted game. Over the years, it’s helped many artists kick off their careers on the Warcraft team here at Blizzard, and across the games industry at large.

We wanted give you an overview of the contest and the impact it’s had—and can have—on student artists. This year’s contest starts on October 15 and runs through the fall. For more information, go to www.blizzard.com/students.

Enjoy the video and we look forward to seeing your entry!
