Judging Rules

1. The evaluation will be carried out by the guides judging team.

2. The official organizer will assess the strategy guides that meet the criteria on the basis of various factors, such as their timely effectiveness, completeness, content accuracy, clarity of explanation, applicability, composition, and aesthetics of the layout. Therefore, it is possible that not all awards will be given out.

3. If a prize-winning entry is disqualified due to violation of contest rules, the official team will not select a substitute winner.

4. To qualify for the Outstanding Submission Prize, you must create guide content; invalid spam posts will not be counted. The guide content needs to provide substantial information and offer a certain degree of guidance to other players. The specific evaluation criteria will be determined by the official judging team.

5. Each creator can only receive the Outstanding Submission Prize once. Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners will not receive the Outstanding Submission Prize in addition to their prize.

6. The Outstanding Submission Prize will be granted to up to 200 creators. If the number of qualified winners exceeds 200, the awards will be distributed based on the order of submissions with the highest number of likes.

7. The Outstanding Submission Prize data collection period ends when the judging period begins. The earlier you submit your work, the easier it is to meet the criteria. Results will be based on the statistics from the guides judging team at the cutoff time.

9. Participate in the event for a chance to participate in the Creator Experience server.

Works Criteria

I. Submission Criteria

Entries must be posted through the Event Details page during the submission period. Entries posted after the deadline or posted anywhere other than on the Event Details page will not be considered.

II. Content Criteria

1. Guides must be rich in content and include both text and images, with no fewer than 5 pictures. (If the images are original and highly informative, the judging team may consider reducing the number of required images.)

2. The main content of the submission must match its title. The content should be laid out in a clear and logical manner, neatly structured, and should not contain any major factual errors. Any form of copying or plagiarism is prohibited.

3. The main text must contain specific guide-related content. Guide Collections that simply redirect to other guides (for example, collections that only contain links, etc.) will not be considered eligible.

4. Entries may contain GIFs or videos to make the guide more interesting. Submissions with quality GIFs and videos may earn bonus points!

5. If a video that is longer than 3 minutes and contains voice or text commentary is inserted in the post, the requirement of at least 5 images for a post is no longer applicable.

6. The content of the video must be original and its description on YouTube must indicate "This video was made for the HoYoLAB Strategy Guides Contest, here is the link of the post: ...". Please include the link to your post in the video description, otherwise the video will be deemed as misappropriated work.

III. Other Criteria

1. Your guide must not contain fan art created by a third party. Such publications will be deleted. You may only use official images, screenshots from the game, or original illustrations in your guide.

2. Any misappropriation of another person's work is strictly prohibited. Posts that have been reported and proven to contain plagiarized or copied content will be removed immediately. Users who have violated the rules will be permanently banned from participating in future community events.

3. Entries containing content that violates the rules of the community will be handled in accordance with the Community Rules.

Notes

1. Please go to My Information > Information Management > Genshin Impact in HoYoLAB to fill in your Genshin Impact UID ahead of time. If Primogem-winning Travelers have not filled in their UID or filled in the incorrect UID after the list of winners is announced, they will be deemed to have forfeited their Primogems reward.

2. Cash rewards will be issued via PayPal. Within one business day after the announcement of the winners, a PayPal information collection form will be updated in the original event post. Please check the original event post after the event ends to see if you have won and complete the relevant information within one week; otherwise, it will be considered a forfeiture of the cash reward.

The Genshin Impact team may publish some outstanding works on HoYoLAB from time to time, adding them to the featured posts and recommendations on the home page. Featured or recommended works are not related to event prizes. The issuance of rewards is based on the final evaluation results. The content creators retain the right to include their names in their guides.

2. Each participant can submit multiple strategy guides, but only one prize will be awarded per UID. In the event that the same strategy guide wins more than one prize, only the highest prize will be awarded.
