World of Warcraft news » Sign up for our gamescom costume contest!

Blizzard will be heading to Cologne, Germany from August 5-9 for another epic gamescom. If you’re ready to take your passion for gaming to the next level, we’ve got just the place—our world-famous dance and costume competitions!

Gamers will be turning out in force to watch, play, and learn about their favorite games at the show. If you want to stand out from the crowd, there’s still time to pay tribute to your favorite Blizzard characters with an awesome outfit and be part of our costume contest.

Recreate your favorite armor set or show off your rendition of a character from one of Blizzard’s universes, and it could be you appearing on our stage this year! If you need any more inspiration, be sure to check out last year’s costume contest gallery on Facebook.

We’ll have some more fantastic prizes to give away to the top entrants this year (more information coming soon), so don’t miss your chance to participate.

• Your name
• Contact email address

• A photo of your costume (smaller than 2Mb file size, you can submit a work in progress)
