Diablo 3 news » This week’s #BlizzGC2015 Contest theme: #Friends

We’re kicking off our gamescom social media contest this week, with an extra special prize up for grabs! As you may know, each week leading up to gamescom 2015, we’ll be giving you a hashtag to inspire your creativity. Then it’s up to you to take to social media and show us your geeky passion for Blizzard games. Share your photos and short videos (up to 15 seconds) on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Vine (posted via Twitter), using the hashtag of the week along with #BlizzGC2015. Be as fun, quirky, or creative as you want! We’ll draw 45 winners at random each week to receive some awesome digital rewards, so the more you participate, the more chances you have to win.

We’ve also got a bonus reward for this week’s theme: #Friends. Do you and your buddies share a Blizzard bond? From now until 23:59 CEST on June 28, we want you to show us how you connect friendship with our games. Be sure to use both hashtags (#Friends and #BlizzGC2015), and to tag a friend in your post. In addition to the digital rewards on offer this week, we’ll award one lucky person and their friend with a free trip for two to gamescom 2015! That includes roundtrip airfare for two to Cologne, Germany, one hotel room, and two five-day passes to the event.

We’ll only be accepting submissions for one theme at a time, during a one-week period. Be sure to visit www.blizzgc.com for a calendar of themes, contest rules, prize information*, and more. We’ll give you details on the second theme, and announce our gamescom trip winners, next week!

*Certain digital prizes not redeemable in all regions.
