That time of year again folks. As a rare occurrence, TeamForaBetterWorld is recruiting! Some of our mates are unable to participate, and we need to fill the holes. Message me if interested or reply with any questions you have! Check out our page for our last three years of competition! We’ve even been in the GISH book!

19 POINTS Assign To Me Submit As you know, the latest nail trend is the Jared Pedi-lecki: paint your big toe to look exactly like Jared Padalecki, complete with tufts of real hair. Or, if this seems vile to you, you may do this with any of the Supernatural cast or any prominent politician or musician.

30 POINTS Assign To Me Submit shinrin-yoku is the Japanese practice of “forest bathing.” Take a forest bath – literally – in the middle of a forest clearing in a tub that’s filled with pine needles and leaves.

121

39 POINTS Assign To Me Submit The sun is setting, and it needs someone to help put it to sleep. Using perspective and props, make sure it’s all tucked in and ready for bed and read it “Goodnight, Moon”. -Inspired by Layal J.

107

58 POINTS Assign To Me Submit TIMELAPSE. Using ice cubes made opaque by adding milk and dyed with food coloring, create a large mosaic of Donald Trump’s face. Behind the cubes is a written message. When the ice melts, the message is revealed. (Start the video with the completed mosaic, not its construction.)

101

64 POINTS Assign To Me Submit Recent public personalities have been known to fake a Time magazine cover, which is terribly vain… but admittedly makes for great promotion. Jump on the bandwagon and award someone you admire a Person of the Year cover! Create a replica of Person of the Year Time cover shot of your friend or loved one, captioned with one thing that they have done that makes them remarkable or unique. It can be broadly significant, like “She selflessly teaches dozens of children each year!” or it can be subtle “best tooth flosser in America”. When you’re done, tweet it to @time with #GISHPersonOfTheYear

60 POINTS Assign To Me Submit Let’s see a close-up picture of your bowl of cereal (at that point when somehow you’ve managed to eat most of the floaty cereal and there’s only weird tasting milk left and a few odd shaped cereal pieces). But in this milky-sea, let’s see a scene from a hollywood movie: A tiny pirate ship battle ala Pirates of the Caribbean, a bloody shark attack from Jaws, or that scene in the Titanic where Jack decided there was no way for him to get up on the piece of plywood with Rose (even though there clearly was).

91

66 POINTS Assign To Me Submit There are some places it’s practically impossible to have a tea party; but you pulled it off. -Khai K.

88

27 POINTS Assign To Me Submit Banana blacklight messages. As all gishers know, bananas emit fluorescence as they decompose. Score the skin of a banana so that when it starts to brown, the edges, under blacklight, reveal a portrait of a really rotten political figure from history.

86

35 POINTS Assign To Me Submit 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.

62

21 POINTS Assign To Me Submit 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.
