FAQ

Who's moderating the event?

You can find an updated list of moderators and their duties on this page!

Are there translations available?

The Rift Gala is a primarily English event, but we want to give everyone the chance to be a part of it, no matter their native language & level of English skill.

If your language is on this list, and you need any help with English, feel free to e-mail us at contact.riftgala@gmail.com so we can help you out!

How do I sign up?

Submissions are yet to be announced.

How have participants been picked?

New participants have been picked randomly from the pool of applications, in accordance with the champions they want. An artist may choose to check a box agreeing to fill in for champions that might be left over. In this case, they may have been given a champion that is not in their picks.

Can I draw...?

If you want to draw a character who isn't a League of Legends champion (such as a Little Legend, or LoR character) you might have a chance. This is extra content, though, so there is no guarantee that these will be included. Send us an e-mail if you have questions about specific characters.

Characters outside of Runeterra will not be included in the Rift Gala.

Will writers/cosplay be included?

Applications for writers are yet to be announced.

Cosplay is a possibility this year!

Can two artists design the same character?

Individually, no. It is important that each character has one definitive gala design. Otherwise, it would become inevitable that the gala showcases mostly art of a select group of 'popular' champions. Making sure that the Rift Gala showcases all types of different champions equally is a core part of our goal.

However, if you wish, you may absolutely bring a friend on board and work on a single design together.

Will Rift Gala be having their own merchandise? Can I financially support the event in other ways?

In accordance with Riot's Legal Jibber Jabber, Rift Gala will remain a completely non-commercial event.

There is a possibility the Rift Gala will be releasing digital print-your-own (or similar) 'merch' for non-commercial use.

Will we see the Gala on any other social media this time around?

The Rift Gala is a Twitter-exclusive event, available here. While reposts of the Gala onto different platforms are inevitable, we urge you not to do so.

Accounts claiming to represent Rift Gala elsewhere are not affiliated with us.

Can I create fanart of the designs?

Yes, and be sure to tag us in your art! We adore seeing fan art of Rift Gala designs, and we will gladly share your works once the main event has ended.
