Blizzard Entertainment is pleased to present the brand new Oswald statue, to be presented to the best-in-category machinima submissions at BlizzCon 2008. The winners will be showered in prestige, and will write the first chapter in the history of our annual Oswald award.

Oswald recipients will be selected based on three categories for outstanding machinima production:

• Action/Adventure
• Comedy
• Drama/Romance

We look forward to awarding the talents of our finest machinima contestants this week at BlizzCon 2008!

Summer draws to a close and the leaves of the trees begin to turn from vibrant green to rusty red, reminiscent of the blood of fallen heroes. The Harvest Festival has arrived and adventurers from all over Azeroth are gathering in Stormwind and Orgrimmar to remember those who have passed on into the Light over the fading year. Processions wind their way to Uther the Lightbringer’s tomb and to Grom Hellscream’s memorial as both the Horde and Alliance take a moment to pause, reflect, and remember the great ones.

To learn more about this festival, please check out our Harvest Festival page.

Toast your victories in style with a collection of World of Warcraft-themed steins. These limited-edition
stoneware steins feature panoramic bas-relief illustrations by Blizzard Entertainment artists Samwise Didier

an etched pewter lid. For more information, please visit .

Every two years, the Spirits of Competition grow especially fervent and draw close to the mortal realm. During such times, members of both the Alliance and Horde can honor the spirits and earn Competitor’s Tabards by seeking to defeat one another in the battlegrounds. This new event runs from August 8 to August 24. Refer to our
for more details, including the event’s in-game rewards.
