Thank you for wanting to participate in this project!

Remember that you can't use a computer to create your giraffes!
And you have to make them yourself.

No store bought items or photographs from zoos/safaris will be accepted.
Anything else goes! And you can create as many giraffes as you want!
You can read more about these rules here if you want to.

You can send me your giraffes in several ways:

Upload

(please use this if you can)

Your giraffes won't appear on the website straight away.
I need to approve every giraffe to make sure they're not breaking the rules.

If you have another giraffe, please feel free to upload it now as well:

Woha! Two giraffes? Thank you! Do you have another one?!?

Unfortunately you can only upload three pictures at a time,
but once these are done, you can add three more!

E-mail is optional.
I'll email you a direct link to your giraffe when it's out on the site and when I've reached a million

E-mail

Please try to upload your giraffe before you email it to me.
Click the text right above that says 'Upload'. It's much easier for me and your giraffe will be online sooner! If the upload fails you can send your giraffe to onemilliongiraffes@gmail.com.

Please remember to write your name, age and location somewhere on your drawing or in your email!

Twitter

You can use @1000000giraffes to send a picture to me.
And please tweet about this project, so it spreads around to everyone!

Please remember to write your name, age and location somewhere on your drawing or in your tweet!

Facebook

You can upload your giraffes on my Facebook page and I'll take it from there.
But this is very backwards, you might as well just upload it here.
You should become a fan of the project on Facebook either way!

Please remember to write your name, age and location somewhere on your drawing or in your Facebookpost!

I reserve the right to use all artwork submitted to this project however I want.

Giraffe of the day #158
Written on the 15th of November 2009
Today's giraffe of the day comes from France and it's drawn by Kristelfr. This has to be the coolest magazine rack I've ever seen. If it is in fact a magazine rack... Haha.

Jayelle: That's neat! (written on the 1st of January 2009)
Kristelfr: T0 be honest, it wasn't a magazine rack, but a box that held a lot of presents for my little niece when she was born. The birth announcement card had a giraffe on it, so that's how I got inspired :-) (written on the 1st of January 2009)
One Million Giraffes: Oh wow! Even cooler! Thanks for sharing with us. (written on the 1st of January 2009)
Drop me a line if you have something cool to say!

Giraffe joke
This guy walks into a bar with a giraffe. They both start doing shots, but the giraffe can't hold its liquor and passes out on the floor. The guy pays the tab, gets his coat on and starts to leave. The bartender, gesturing at the giraffe on the floor, says "Hey buddy, whattaya doin', you're not just gonna LEAVE that LYIN' there, are ya?" And the guy goes, "That's not a lion, that's a giraffe!"
