A new Genshin Impact music event offers fans the chance to win one of many cash prizes for playing songs from the anime game’s OST. HoYoverse appeals to all musically inclined gamers by allowing them to use any instrument in this contest, titled World Quest: Music Showdown. In addition to cash, winners will also have the opportunity to participate in a final taping in Los Angeles, USA.
To participate in this event, you must be at least 18 years old and live in North America or the EU. You should also feel comfortable appearing on the contest broadcast.
Record a video of yourself playing a song from Genshin Impact on any instrument, then share it on your TikTok, Twitter or Facebook account using the hashtags ‘#AstraCarnival’, ‘#GenshinImpact’ and ‘#Music Showdown’.
For selfish reasons, I hope there are plenty of covers of the Port Ormos and Inazuma City theme songs under these hashtags, two of the OST tracks guaranteed to keep me tuned in for a bit before I leave the region.
You will also need to complete this Google form to provide a link to your social media post. The registration period is March 13-19 and the estimated delivery date is May 27.
Those who participate and gain traction with their submission will have a chance to win the following prizes:
- Champion – $2,000/GBP £1,644
- Finalist: $1,500 USD / £1,233
- Third place: 1,000 USD/822 GBP
Even if you don’t qualify for the main rewards, you can still earn other rewards. The top three views on each platform will receive $100 Amazon gift cards, and 100 Welkin Moon Blessings will also be awarded.
It would be the perfect time to introduce music lover Xinyan in the current character banners, but she is unavailable. Instead, you can go with Dehya and Cyno in the first half of Genshin Impact version 3.5, or Ayaka and Shenhe in the second half.
