This year’s Grand GISH Gala is all about celebrating your shine and sparkle–sustainably. Let’s see your most beautiful homemade gown or tuxedo made completely from things taken from your recycling bin. Foil, tin cans, plastics, etc. Go for sparkle and shine, and show up on the red carpet of the gala.

Item 90 – Team Photo 2018
Your GISH team looks great in that slotted mailbox, like at a post office, with each box open to display a team member crammed inside. We must see your faces!
Item 86 – Putin on the Ritz
If you’re blue & you don’t know where to go to, why don’t you go where fashion sits? Putin on the Ritz. Create a portrait of Vladimir Putin on a single Ritz cracker.

Item 83 – Wabi-sabi
In Japanese traditional aesthetics, the term wabi-sabi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi) is a world view (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_view) centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection and is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. Each day of the Hunt week, collect small items that represent this notion to you and create a still life out of them to celebrate life’s so-called “flaws” and all.
Item 76 – Moebius Stripper
A Moebius stripper working the pole.
Item 64 – City Namesakes
On Twitter, @EugeneLeeYang submitted a proposal to have a gathering of people in blue jeans in Eugene, OR. While brilliant, we think this effort should be more inclusive. Gather as many people as you can named after a city or town in the city or town named for them with an obvious tie-in. (Franciscan monks in San Francisco, Angels in Los Angeles, and so on.) Bonus points to the biggest gathering and most awesome tie-in.
Item 62 – Manifestoast
Your personal Manifestoast. Post your mission statement or motto of least 3 words, clearly readable and charred into the surface of a piece of bread.
Item 55 – Jensen Ackles Skittles Watercolor
Using only skittles soaked in water for paint, create a portrait of Jensen Ackles on watercolor paper.
