Hello, Tyrians,

As you may already know, we recently revealed details about the guild halls in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™. Since the original Guild Wars®, guild halls have always been a place for players to gather, celebrate, and fight. Because we decided to bring them back and offer new homes for the Guild Wars 2 community to cherish, we also thought it was the right time to bring back another Guild Wars 2 tradition: the Guild Wars 2 Guild Emblem Contest!

To celebrate Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns and the return of guild halls, we will be adding the entries of the five winners of this contest into the game. The contest will run from today, June 26, until August 1, 2015, at 4:00 p.m. UTC (9:00 a.m. Pacific Time). See below for details on how to enter the contest, and make sure to follow the rules and guidelines for a chance to become one of our five winners and perhaps wear your own guild emblem in Guild Wars 2.

How to Enter

To enter this contest, you’ll need to create an original, digital, Guild Wars 2 themed guild emblem following the guidelines and templates provided in the ZIP file you can download. You’ll find many resources in this file to guide you through the process of creating your guild emblem.

Please make sure your entry follows all the criteria listed in the rules. Entries that do not meet these requirements, no matter how good, will be disqualified.

Once your emblem has been created using one of the two format options listed in the rules, you will need to upload the ZIP version of your entry using the contest submission form.

The guild emblems designed by our five winners will be integrated into Guild Wars 2! The winners will also receive the following prizes:
