#105 - “We Create, Therefore We Live.” Help us spread the word, Gishers! Make a breathtaking “We Create, Therefore We Live” sign that epitomizes GISH to you. You may create our catchphrase out of anything you like (or a combination of materials): calligraphy, paint, candy, collaged magazines, books, buttons, recyclables, skywriting… You get the idea. Schedule or post it at exactly 8 PM PDT on social media and tag #GISH, #BookBash, & @mishacollins. Then, submit the original image to us and share/retweet/amplify as many other teams' submissions across all of social media as you can, too. Make it trend, weirdos!
