Reading some articles it appears every character on your account has to do this in order to get the rewards, is this true or false?

1. Anniversary Event
2. Summer Event (Risa)
3. Winter Event (Winter Wonderland)
Not entirely accurate. Arena of Sompek was an account unlock as well.

I participate in the event with my main toon and enjoy the sight, perhaps on next run I even build one of those rockets.
Why cryptic still devalues this game by turning beautiful maps into psycho events is beyond me.
Gladly, there is 0 need to do it as far as character progression is concerned.
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
Ah yes, I had forgotten about that one.
I actually played it on all my characters because it was fun.
Please no, this spokesman is currently not in the employment of Cryptic, PWE, CBS or whoever else claims rights to this game.
Had to add that as a little joke in case anyone thought I was a fan boy, which if you look for other post you will know I am not. I just will stick up for them this time as they were trying something novel After all could be worse. 1st one ready gets the token and you have to start a new que or the parts are hidden and have to use tricorder or it requires doff to build parts at about 5 min per quality or even worse, if you rocket doesn't do well then you have to re-que.
heya reik havent sen you around the fleet water cooler latley..then again ive not been on much lol
I have been around but it doesn't seem like anyone plays at the time I can.
Yeah i havent been on as much due to health issues but still get on as much as i can,
saw archi this morning was good seeing him on.
anyways hope all is well reik
It's per day, per character, which blows. Cryptic fail to realize that people have more than one toon, some moreextreme than others - and they want us to continue to grind and time sink it. It appears they are turning everything into grindfest and time sink - including old events that offer give-aways. R.I.P. Day of Honor & the Romulan equivalent.
"When you complete the queue for the First Contact Day event, you will receive a special Zefram Cochrane Memorial Hologram Voucher (limit one per day, per character). A minimum of 4 Holograms are required in order to receive a Special Event Prize Box that includes the following:"

I agree
They should had left it alone and not turn it into a grindfest and time gate. I personally do not see the logic of KDF players and Romulan players celebrating MONTANA.
If anything is biased against transatlantic pings its stuff like that, run over start to interact only to find you either slide backwards as the server and client match up or you find that it's already been got.
I'm in the UK, so I am transatlantic, and I don't see anything like that. BTW I'm on copper-wire Broadband at 17.6Mb connection.
It's in the Foundry, you can stage whatever events you like with just a little work (ie. make your own first contact day episode.)
The competition is indirect. What players collect does not influence what other players collect. You just run the event as best you can, and at the end your progress is incidentally compared between 5 players.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence

And it also gives ~125 marks-of-choice (w/rep mark bonus) as well.
It seems to be 100% rng based. It's immensely galling to see your efforts count for nothing when your maxed out rocket blows up on the pad, while the AFKer who put 0 effort into it gets a 250+ score.
There's a couple ways you can influence your score.
1. Plan your search around getting all three components.
2. Completing wave forms as quickly as possible.
That doesn't bring the RNG component to 0%, not by a long shot. But there's something to this (though I'd have personally liked to see it as an open mini-game for a social zone rather than as a PVE.)

l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
It doesn't matter if the model rocket blows up on the launch pad since there is no affect on the number of marks rewarded. If Cryptic is going to repeat this same event next year, they need update it so that players actually do not have model rocket to begin with. Players need to at least scavenge for the 3 basic parts needed to create the model rocket.
Nothing should be rewarded at the end of the mission, if even the basic rocket has not been built. Although the 30 minute cool down should be "rewarded".
Give players an actual incentive to get their model rocket to travel the furthest (though RNG "bad luck" should still apply). The player coming in 1st place should get something like 30 extra marks. 2nd place rewards 15 extra marks, and 3rd place rewards an extra 5 marks.
