Guild Wars Wintersday 2008 Art Contest

The Wintersday Festival invited players to create & submit works of art that represent the special holidays of winter. Hundreds of players accepted that invitation and created some seriously striking seasonal art. Entries arrived from every corner of the globe, in all kinds of media: 2D art, 3D art, pencil sketches, paintings, screenshot compilations, even 3D models! Congratulations and thanks to all who submitted their work.
