Using this link, create a Fundraising page for your team, and get family, friends, and others to donate. Since this is GISH and there’s always an extra twist to everything we do, here’s the deal: we also want you to get OTHERS to donate to your GoFundMe Charity page. We know you don’t need “points” as an incentive to help oppressed people, but since it is part of the Hunt, we want to maximize the power of these points to help. Get at least 10 donations from friends, family, individuals or businesses NOT on your team. You and your team members are welcome to donate to your campaign, but that is not a requirement for points- the Item requirement is to get at least 10 people to make a cumulative total of least 10 donations from donors who are NOT on your team. There is no minimum to donate for GISH purposes, but GoFundMe Charity does require a minimum $10 donation be collected, and let’s all please encourage others to be generous so we can make a profound impact.
SUBMIT a screenshot of your team’s page with a minimum of 10 donations on it. (To initially create a fundraising team, click the FUNDRAISE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN button.) If for any reason your team is unable to (or chooses not to) join this GoFundMe Charity campaign, you may still get points for this Item by supporting another organization that seeks to improve your local or the broader community through increased inclusivity, resource enrichment or education. PLEASE SUBMIT PROOF YOU HAVE DONE THIS. If your team is in the top 10% of number of donations or dollar amount, you’ll receive triple points for this Item. Our goal is to raise $40,000 at a minimum. We know it’s a lofty goal – but we believe in you. Misha and the GISH Gnomes have donated $10,000 to get us started. Let’s do this!

Item 36 – GISH Global Prom Night
A lot of young adults missed their annual prom, so we’re doing something about that. Tonight is GISH Global Prom Night! Dress in your gishiest attire and coordinate with other teams to create the biggest virtual dance party you can – and make sure to invite at least one graduate! Submit a grid photo of at least five members of your team, dressed to impress in your best 80’s style awkward-prom look, as proof you were there. Submit a grid of images.
Item 35 – #PassTheBallot Challenge
It’s the #PassTheBallot Challenge! Get at least 5 Americans to pledge to vote via mail-in ballot and if possible in their location, request a mail-in or absentee ballot, then take a video passing a sign that says ‘I WILL VOTE’ between them. (Similarly, if you are not in the USA, and your country also does voter registration, do the same.) Add upbeat music and post on social media tagged #PassTheBallotChallenge and #GISH, then send US the original video.
Item 34 – Elderly Favorites Interview
Edit to 2 minutes. Immunocompromised and elderly people are facing more isolation and stress than ever. Reach out to someone elderly or immunocompromised in your community in a video chat who has been on total lockdown and video interview them on the topic of favorites. What is their favorite ice cream? Favorite color and why? Favorite movie and why? Favorite day that they remember? Etc
Item 33 – Socially-Distanced Makeover
Edit to 20 seconds. There’s no reason this lock-down should put a crimp on our beauty routines. That being said, we don’t want to risk the health of salon workers. Let’s show the world how to do a socially-distanced makeover – hair, makeup, nails, whatever. You must be at least 6 feet away from your customer and you must show the before and after ‘looks’ your customer receives.
Item 32 – YOU-rovision
(UP TO 30 SECONDS) Eurovision got canceled, but who needs it? YOU-rovision is here now. Write and perform an original, uplifting song of hope using instruments of your own creation. The 3 teams whose songs we like best will be featured on our GISH YouTube Channel and social media, so that’s basically the exact same level of fame and fortune as Eurovision used to be.
Item 31 – Busy Clones
GISH keeps you so busy, you need to clone yourself to get the List done! Create a single image compositing at least 3 iterations of yourself working to completing a GISH mini hunt Item – at the beginning of the Item, in the middle, and with the completed Item, all in the same picture as though it’s happening at the same time. -Erin
Item 30 – Renaissance Sculpture Destruction
TIMELAPSE IF NECESSARY. Re-create a famous Renaissance sculpture out of wax a(and then melt it), play-dough (and then smash it), or mashed potatoes (and then eat it). You may NOT use Michelangelo’s David.
Item 29 – Beard Mask
It’s a shame people have to shave their beautiful beards to wear masks for saving our lives. But if you think about it, couldn’t a homemade mask sport a transplanted beard or mustache on the outside!? – Katell
Item 28 – Stormtrooper Quarantine Routine
No one has really said much about the stormtroopers during quarantine. How are they coping? Show us a stormtrooper’s quarantine routine. Are they doing homeschool for their kids? Zooming? Cleaning house?
