Xfire Extends World of Warcraft Summer Movie Contest Deadline Two Weeks

Aspiring Machinima Movie Makers Have More Time to Polish Their Masterpieces or Work on a Second Submission

MENLO PARK, CA – September 8, 2006 – Xfire announces a two-week extension for entries to the World of Warcraft Summer Movie Contest, giving aspiring film makers enough time to polish, or even begin, their machinima masterpieces.

“It usually takes longer than you might think to make a quality video and it is important that all entrants get the proper amount of time to finish their work,” said Mike Cassidy, CEO of Xfire.

With the addition of a short film (2 min) category this year and the chances for entrants to win more than one prize, auteurs that are already finishing up their first movie have more time to work on a second submission. With over ?23,000 in prizes from AMD, XFX, Sennheiser and Ideazon up for grabs, including a ?5,000 enthusiast computer, the time is right to get going.

The new timeline for the events is as follows:

Sept 25: Deadline
October 9: Finalists Announced/Voting Begins
October 23: Voting Ends
October 27: Winners announced
