Category: Item Types
All item types. GISHWHES requires specific formats for item submissions, usually either videos or images.
Item 109 – Trump-Putin Fabergé Egg
An elaborate hinged, Faberge-style Easter egg that opens to reveal Trump & Putin embracing.
Item 107 – Threatened Species Haiku
Create a haiku for an animal on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species that tells of the animal’s plight and why we should protect it. Next to the haiku, include a hand-drawn picture or origami sculpture of the animal.
Item 102 – Childhood Food Memory
Reach out to a senior in your family or community and ask them about a commercially made snack or dish from their childhood that brings them fond memories—something that just doesn’t exist anymore. Try to recreate it based on their description, then share your creation with them and record their assessment.
Item 100 – Burn Something Negative
TIMELAPSE. Write a phrase on a piece of wood of something negative you say about yourself to silence yourself or hold yourself back. Burn the wood and the phrase in a fireplace or fire pit. Use the ashes to write something affirming about your strong self on a sheet of white paper.
Item 99 – Avocado Hatchling
Little known fact: when an avocado is fully ripe, it hatches. Show us the tiny, intricately carved creature sleeping inside (which you’ve carved from the pit).
Item 98 – Team Photo 2019 (GISHémon Cards)
(GRID). The hot new trading card battle game is GISHémon! Create a trading card for each of your team mates with their photo and stats (location, Gisher type, powers, etc.) as the powerful kindness monsters they are. We must see each teammate’s unobscured face for it to count.
Item 96 – Haiku Resume
Write your resume as a haiku.
Item 95 – Dismal Miniature
Tatsuya Tanaka creates miniature worlds with everyday objects. His scenes are whimsical, which is how the world should be… but is not always how tiny-world actually is. Create a miniature, dismal and tragic scene using small reimagined objects.
