IMAGE. Back to school! Pack a backpack (or more!) full of school supplies and deliver them to a local school or school collection sight.
Behind the Scenes
All item types. GISHWHES requires specific formats for item submissions, usually either videos or images.
“IMAGE. Show us something you find beautiful that most others would deem ugly.
“VIDEO. Record yourself and friends singing a quartet rendition of “Carry On My Wayward Son” in an amphitheater after you Google-translate it into at least three other languages and then back to English.”
VIDEO. Shoot slow-motion footage of you drinking green tea on a high-speed train in Japan.
IMAGE. JOHN GREEN ITEM. Write up to a 250 word personal manifesto that answers the question: “What are you fighting for?” or “What cause is the most important for you?” Then make your own uniform/costume that declares that cause. Two pictures side by side must be submitted (or one embedded in the other): you wearing your uniform/costume, and your manifesto. Share your manifesto and image with John Green (@johngreen) or The Art Assignment (@artassignment) on Facebook or Twitter.
