One submission (of 1–10 screenshots) per person will be accepted until August 6 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7). Community voting will last until August 11 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7). The top homestead designers, as determined by total number of emoji reactions received, will win gem prizes! Full rules and eligibility can be found here.
Twitch Drops are available starting now, so tune in to your favorite Guild Wars 2® streamers (or discover a new one!) to earn rewards between now and August 2. Join us Wednesday, August 5 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on our Twitch channel as our partner, EngleburtMeow, cosplays as a homestead and hosts a casual tour of some of the community’s most imaginative homesteads. Yes, you read that correctly. She will become one with the architecture, dressed in one of her signature cursed cosplays.
As a final part of the celebration, we have a discount on the Digital Deluxe upgrades for both expansions with a homestead map, Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds™ and Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity™. Discounts are available in-game and in the official store until August 6, 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7).

Join us next week for a celebration of our Guild Wars 2® homesteads! Ever since Homesteads were released with Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds™, we’ve been in awe of the community’s creative constructions. To celebrate that creativity and encourage new designs, we’re holding the Homestead Design Contest on our official Discord channel starting July 30!
Conjure your best designs in either homestead map and start snapping some screenshots. There’s no specific theme, so let your creativity run wild! Then, submit your screenshots for peer review and a chance to win gem prizes via community vote!
Submissions of 1–10 screenshots will be accepted from July 30 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) until August 6 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7). Community voting will last from the beginning of the entry period on July 30 until August 11 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7). At that point, voting will end and winners will be determined by the total number of emoji reactions received. Full rules and eligibility can be found here.
While the contest is running, there will be other reasons to celebrate Homesteads. We’ll have Twitch drops available for watching your favorite Guild Wars 2 streamers starting on July 30. And we’ll be hosting a homestead livestream on Wednesday, August 5 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on our Twitch channel. Check out Discord next week for more details, but in the meantime, have fun staging your homestead for sharing with the community!
