The mix between real-world money and in-game currency is sure to bring out a hefty number of artists! Between Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, miHoYo's games have always attracted some really excellent fan art, and it will be interesting to see the winners that end up getting selected. In addition to the rules listed above, miHoYo has also forbidden the use of AI art for the event. Readers interested in learning more can check out the full rules at miHoYo's official website right here.

Honkai: Star Rail just released back in April, and the game quickly found a passionate fanbase. As with Genshin Impact, fans have quickly embraced Honkai: Star Rail's characters, and that can already be said for Blade and Kafka. The five-star characters are both members of the Stellaron Hunters, and both will appear in version 1.2. Blade will debut first, with Kafka set to appear after. It will be interesting to see if Kafka ends up getting a similar event ahead of her release, but hopefully miHoYo will find a way to build hype for it!
