This is the perfect opportunity for machinima and video makers to shine and get the spotlight on Blizzard Entertainment’s website and to win really juicy prizes. Participate in the official StarCraft II Video Contest.
Blizzard Entertainment is pleased to announce the first-ever open submission StarCraft II video contest. The time of the cinematically-gifted StarCraft player has come.

As long as it’s in video format (and PG-13), the sky is the limit! A few of the best moviemakers may just film their way into some fantastic prizes like a new Samsung television and an Alienware Monitor OptX 3D LCD with NVIDIA 3D Vision Kit.
As if that wasn’t enough, you may just net yourself a new Samsung LCD 1080p HDTV, Alienware Monitor OptX 3D LCD with NVIDIA 3D Vision Kit, Razer Mamba gaming mouse, and Razer Sphex gaming-grade desktop skin in the process.
