For this week's BlizzCon 2019 party update, Con Before the Storm Powered by Wowhead, we'd like to let you know that the stretch goal for the Expanded Art Gallery has been funded, and we have a new stretch goal for a commemorative pint glass!

Stretch Goals
Since our last update, we've funded one more stretch goal and announced another!
Stretch Goal 4 - Reached:
We will rent stand-up display walls, to show off even more art, we anticipate between 25%-50% more art. This amount will not only pay rent on those walls, but also printing and mounting costs for the art work we curate. Of course more art means more art to giveaway too! And as always backers get first dibs!
Stretch Goal 5: Pint Glass!
At $42,000, we will be giving away to those who attend in person a commemorative pint glass! So when you show up for your free spin, you will also be handed a special pint glass, commemorating the amazing community event!
Artists Needed
Every year, Con Before the Storm hosts a fan art gallery featuring 200+ pieces of unique art from community artists - both amateur and professional - that covers all Blizzard game properties. We have each piece printed, mounted and hung up for display at our Blizzcon event! Additionally, each piece lists the artist who created it and where you can find more of his or her amazing work.

What is the Party?
Last week, we announced that Wowhead has teamed up with
Con Before the Storm
for the ultimate BlizzCon 2019 party. Con Before the Storm 2019 will be powered by Wowhead, featuring a fan art gallery, photobooth, meet & greet autograph rooms, discussion panels, and more!
The party will take place on October 31st, 2019, on the 2nd floor of the Hilton Anaheim. Admission will be free, but by supporting the
Kickstarter
, you'll unlock extra gifts like merchandise and art. We know there are many events going on that night, but our party will go on much longer than Blizzard's Darkmoon Faire event, so you'll be able to attend both!
The
Con Before the Storm 2019 Kickstarter
has set a base funding goal of
$19,000
. The Wowhead team, separate from the Kickstarter, is providing financial support but the
$19,000
is still critical as parties this size are massive to run, plus additional costs pop up each year due to increasing rates from the Hilton.

Kickstarter Tiers
Backers at every donation level will receive special goodies, which are all detailed on the
Kickstarter page
and include everything from a signed copy of
Before the Storm
to art prints!
If you are a fan of Wowhead and a pin collector, be sure to check out any tier
$70 and up
, as you will receive four Wowhead holiday pins, designed by Tsepish, representing Winter holidays, Valentine's Day, Midsummer, and Halloween. These pins are
not
for sale on the
Wowhead Shop
; the only current way to get these is through the Kickstarter!
However, due to the overwhelming support we'e received, with 14 days left on the Kickstarter, some tiers have already
sold out
, including Represent and Backer Pack. Since our post last week, Swag-A-Tron Live has also sold out, and Upgraded Represent only has 3 more spots! If you're after a certain prize, now is the time to pledge!
