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 joke
Two tickbirds land on a giraffe's tail and begin searching for bugs. Having no luck they work their way up the haunch, over the back and then search the neck, until finally, camouflaged in the dark brown fur of a neck spot, they find a bunch of ticks. The first bird grumbles to the other one: "That was a long way to go to find a picking spot."
