Season 24 is still only mid-way through, but its time to start looking ahead to Season 25! For the upcoming season we want to see the community get in on the fun and start building new and exciting worlds for us to visit! In addition to the landscapes we've all grown to love, we hope to also journey to new lands and battle across Azeroth in places we've never seen before!
For this contest, we will be asking members to open the World Editor and create a new battleground! Each battleground will be judged by a Tribunal based on a 100 point scale. The following people will be judges for this event:
