Greetings from pixiv.
1st Genshin Impact Illustration Contest: A Midsummer Aria of Cicadas will start on July 11st, 2022.



▼ About the Genshin Impact Illustration Contest
The game Genshin Impact plans to hold several illustration contests on pixiv on the topic of "spending seasons together." The theme of this first contest is "A Midsummer Aria of Cicadas." What would you like to do in Teyvat this summer to escape the heat? An exciting Waverider race in the Golden Apple Archipelago? Or would you rather cool off in Liyue Harbor, enjoying the sunset while listening to the storyteller's tales? Or attend a fireworks festival in Inazuma while sipping on some Dango Milk? Think of all the friends you've made in Teyvat, and let your imagination run free!

▼ About Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact is an open-world RPG that combines stunning 3D anime graphics and seamless open-world exploration.
