		You've seen the icy, menacing eyes, and gleaming metal and heard the ominous names of Arthas holding Frostmourne. 
		Now we are calling all artists to bring these images to life with their vision of Arthas with Frostmourne!
		<br/>
        <br/>
		Starting May 7, 2008, Epic Weapons and Blizzard Entertainment will be looking for the best original pieces of 
		artwork that show the Lich King Arthas Menethil wielding his trusted runeblade Frostmourne and the Grand Prize 
		Winner will receive a full sized 47" long replica of the Frostmourne sword courtesy of Epic Weapons and a 
		guaranteed entry into the beta test of Wrath of the Lich King! Two runner up winners will also be selected for 
		entry into the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King beta test.
		<br/>
        <br/>
		We'd like to extend our thanks to Epic Weapons for the generous donation of the Frostmourne replica for this event, 
		and for more information about Frostmourne, you can head over to <a href="http://www.epicweapons.com/">www.epicweapons.com</a>.
