Video submissions. Usually an embedded YouTube link.
Item 19 – LGBTQIA Drip Painting
(TIMELAPSE) A melted-crayon rainbow “drip painting” portrait of an LGBTQIA icon or message of LGBTQIA inclusion and support.
Item 15 – DineSafe
During a pandemic, it’s important to maintain social distancing, but sometimes we also want to deliver food to loved ones at home. To be safe, GISHCORP has patented a food-delivery system called DineSafe™ wherein the chef simply uses a household electric fan (ceiling or otherwise) to serve meals and snacks to family members from a safe distance.
Item 2 – Carry On Wayward Son Distanced Sing-Along
COLLABORATIVE. (UP TO ONE MINUTE) Carry on and on and on, wayward son! Using the provided backing track, record yourself singing along to Kansas’ classic anthem “Carry On Wayward Son” while holding a sign with your team name on it. You should have at least 5 physically-distanced people singing along with you — the more singers, the merrier.
Item 1 – Negative Piñata Destruction
Create a piñata filled with your negative self-talk. Destroy it mightily.
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 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.
