The World of Warcraft Movie Contest: Rise to Power was a movie contest that started on December 22, 2009 and ended on January 31, 2010. It was sponsored by Alienware.

Description

Are you an aspiring filmmaker? If so, you've come to the right place! The World of Warcraft Rise to Power Movie Contest, sponsored by Alienware, is an excellent way for you to show off your talents. We're looking for players to produce movies set in Azeroth, focusing on the rise to power of your favorite villain, hero, or even yourself.

The content requirements for the movies are open-ended, as long as the movies are created in-game.

Update: The Rise to Power contest’s call was heard by some worthy individuals who provided us with the tales of ascension we requested. Their cinematic mastery, backed by storytelling expertise, has earned them the recognition they so richly deserve.

We congratulate Xcross, Olibith, Baron Soosdon and Frozen DK & Erunno as our Grand Prize winners. Each will receive $2,400 credit towards an All Powerful Alienware desktop or laptop. Don’t hesitate and watch our four winning submissions now!
