A lot of attention has been on the 1.5 update and PS5 version for Genshin Impact. However, these aren’t the only two new topics for fans to be excited about. A new fan art and cosplay event is now underway, offering people a chance to submit their artwork and cosplay designs in exchange for prizes. Here’s everything fans should know about submission start dates and prize issuances.
The latest fan event for Genshin Impact is called “Zhongli: Heart of Bedrock.” This means all artwork and cosplay ideas need to represent Zhongli in some way. Thanks to the 1.5 update, Zhongli has a Banner rerun in Genshin Impact, so this fan event is likely meant to coincide with that.
In order to participate, fans will need to comply with developer miHoYo’s rules and guidelines. Artwork and cosplay photos must be shared on Twitter and must have the hashtags #Zhongli and #HeartofBedrock to be entered. The fan art portion of the contest will happen first, with submissions starting on April 28 and running through May 19, 2021. The results will be shared the first week of June, and the winner should get their prizes issued starting on June 8. Prizes include in-game Primogems and real-world Genshin Impact merchandise.
