Xfire Unveils WoW
Contest Finalists
Xfire, Inc. -- a division of Viacom Inc.'s MTV
Networks and one of the fastest growing online
gaming platforms and communities in the world --
today announced the finalists for the World of
Warcraft Summer Movie Contest. With $23,000 in
prizes up for grabs, gamers are invited to visit
Xfire.com to view the exceptional Machinima movies
and vote for their favorite finalists.
"We are absolutely astounded by the quality of the
submissions that we have received this year," said
Mike Cassidy, CEO of Xfire. "It has been extremely
difficult for us to narrow it down to just 20
finalists in four categories, and I expect it will
be just as hard for our members to select their
favorites."
For the World of Warcraft Summer Movie Contest,
Xfire tapped into its 5 million-user base and the
millions of World of Warcraft players, welcoming
entrants from Canada, Europe and the United States
to create movies using Blizzard's wildly popular
massively multiplayer online game, World of
Warcraft. Five outstanding contest finalists were
selected from each of the following four categories:
Short Film, Comedy, Music Video/Dance and
Drama/Action. Gamers have until Monday, October 23
to select and vote for their favorites. Contest
winners will be announced on Thursday, October 26 !
