miHoYo has a ton of rewards planned for the first anniversary of Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact’s developer has finally announced the planned rewards for the open-world RPG’s first anniversary. All players can claim at least 10 free wishes just for logging in. Talented artists and cosplayers can earn even more for helping promote the game.

How to get 10 free wishes for Genshin anniversary

One of the most prized anniversary rewards for Genshin Impact is a free ten pull. Rumors and screenshots of the special log-in event have circulated since before Raiden Shogun’s official reveal.

The 10 free wishes for Genchin Impact will be distributed via a daily log-in reward bonus. The schedule could also include more gifts like Primogems, Mora, or Fragile Resin. Expect an update on the exact week of the anniversary starting September 28.

Genshin Impact anniversary cosplay contest

Crafty Genshin fans can earn rewards by submitting their creations to an anniversary cosplay contest. Participants must submit their own original cosplay through the official HoYoLabs forum. Prizes for the event include Primogems, Apple AirPods, a Razer DeathAdder V2 mouse, and official merchandise sets of random characters.

The exact number of prizes and criteria for judging have not been revealed yet. The Genshin cosplay contest submission window is from September 22 to October 20.

Genshin Impact anniversary art contest

Genshin Impact fan artists have a chance to claim some special rewards as thanks for their hard work. Instead of Primogems, miHoYo will give away iPhone 13 Pro Max smartphones to three lucky artists.

The exact criteria for judging the fan art is not yet known, though a raffle will be used for deciding the prize winners. The Genshin anniversary art contest will run from September 25 to 29.

Welkin Moon giveaway for Genshin anniversary

In addition to Primogems, miHoYo is also giving away free Welkin Moons to a handful of lucky players. To qualify for the Welkin Moon giveaway, players will need to participate in a new web event called “A Message in Time.”

Players will create anniversary cards commemorating their year in Teyvat. At the end of the event, 10% of players will be randomly chosen to receive a month of Welkin Moon Blessings.

All other contestants will receive 100,000 Mora. Links to join A Message in Time will be released by official Genshin Impact social media starting September 29.
