Welcome to the "Battle Cry," World of Warcraft® 5th Anniversary Mosaic Event, where Blizzard will create a mosaic image by combining photographs of you and/or your friends using a Horde or Alliance image that can be printable online. Each time that Blizzard receives 5% of the total number of photographs needed to complete the mosaic, the website will unlock concept art for the World of Warcraft community. When the mosaic is complete, it will unlock a final epic piece of art that will be representative of the phenomenon that is World of Warcraft.
This event will begin on November 23rd, 2009 and will continue until the earlier of the date that Blizzard receives 20 000 player entries, or June 30, 2010 (the “Deadline”).
