Birthday Project – Part 2 – Big Changes // 08 February 2007

Hey everyone  😆

Well there’s going to be some changes on the second part of the birthday project. We’ve had a great response to our request for poems and it seems a shame to only use 5 of them. So, we’ve decided not to use them in the World Picture Book. Instead we will have a separate project which will include more of the poems you send in, so now you have a better chance of getting your poem published.

But wait, there’s more. 😛

We know that not everyone is a poet, so we’re giving you visual artists a chance too. We’re adding two more parts to the second project. The best of each will be included with the poems in a second book. 🙂

1. drawings, or paintings, or other hand made art

  • they can be of any subject matter, not necessarily of Emma.
  • send us a scan, or very clear photo

2. birthday cards

  • design your own cards with a birthday message
  • the message should be like what you would typically find in a birthday card, not a personal message to Emma
  • they can be hand drawn, or by computer
  • the card should be a single image, suggested size is 400×600
  • we suggest not using pictures of Emma. Don’t you think it would be wierd if you got a birthday card with a picture of you on it?  😉

Send your submissions to emmawatson.project@gmail.com
The deadline is the same as for the poems before, March 5th.

Reminder: Don’t forget about Part 1 of the Birthday project. We had over 90 countries represented for the Christmas project and we are still missing quite a few countries for this project.

Update: I’ve updated the guidelines on the birthday cards.

  9. andrew the great says:

    This is great. I'm glad that you can be able to draw anything you want, not just about Emma 🙂

  10. emmafan1 says:

    yeah that sounds really cool, im hopefully gonna send in pics if i have time, from british columbia (canada)

  11. Kandi says:

    :???:m Please. Please. Please fix your enter page. It just drives me nuts.

  12. emmafan1 says:

    (this is sorta random) u no whats cool tho? i was just reading one of emma's quotes up top and it was about meeting brad pitt. i like it how she is a fan of someone lese so she knows what it feels like to be one up us. sorta radom but just how we can all relate to emma. 🙂

  13. emmafan4life says:

    i kinda agree w/ kandi. no effense, it's not that i hate this layout, but i'm not a big fan of all the black 😕

  14. emmafan4life says:

    hey i know this is kinda random, but i just thought of it: isn't this wierd? rupert everrt did shrek w/ john cleese, who did hp w/ emma, who might do st trinians w/ rupert evert- i just think thats a cool coinsedence, i know i'm a freak 😛

  15. emmafan1 says:

    lol its not as random as my random comment 😉

  16. emmafan4life says:

    ok emmafan1 lets call it a tie 😉

  17. emmafan1 says:

    sure we both win at the randomest emma coments of today lol 🙂

  18. r/hr fan says:

    @emma's # ONE FAN, yes, i do!!!!!! Where've you been? And are u gonna send in more graphics?

  19. sarah says:

    i was just wondering if i could send it as like four seperate pictures, all the same size??? because it would look really nice done on photoshop. or, do you just want a one picture card?

  20. dook says:

    sarah, I\’m not sure what you mean.

  21. Natalie says:

    Can the pix represent a state??? 😕

  22. Pablo says:

    I´m Working for This Project Emma and (I Love You) bye

  23. sarah says:

    sorry, i was unclear. I meant do you want a card that is just one picture? or do you want an actual card? ( if so, do you want it all put together in a Windows program?) I know it's still kinda hard to understand, but i'm planning on doing this on photoshop.

  24. dook says:

    sarah, an actual card, like paper folded up with designs on, no. That would not be practical. I think the idea was just a one picture card, like a \”birthday postcard\”, but let me discuss it with the staff and I\’ll update the post tomorrow.

  25. Justin says:

    Wow, finally her Birthday comes, Dook just wondering what are your ideas for her Birthday Project? She is turning 18? perhaps in April I think which is her Birthday? 😕

  26. Justin says:

    Besides pictures and poems, its kind of boring, can you like give or send her music, its actually better. Isn't it true she has an Ipod which I kind of nice which I just heard, I just saw a video on it. Jo gave her an Ipod, but whatever .. its up to everyone.

  27. emmafan1 says:

    @ justin, yeah, the site has already given her an ipod. emma is turning 17 and emma is acctally really into the different places of the world. thats why they are doing this project casue shes always saying how she would have never traveled to places like tokyo and LA with out harry potter, so yeah

  28. Honey says:

    hahahaha, that's so funny, "but wait there's more!!!" Sounds like the advertisements on ShopTv, "but wait there's more, if you call in the next 30 minutes, you'll receive…" LOL…sorry got kinda carried away…nice one dook! And some great ideas for the birthday project too…really looking forward to Emma's reaction when she gets this.

  29. Shifty says:

    Hey, dook, i wonder if someone gonna represent russia in the first part of the project?

  30. yui says:

  41. Jeanne says:

    nice edition, I love that the art section now includes more than poems, 'cause Emma loves art, but the contests we've had here for graphics, portraits and videos have just been here, they didn't go to Emma, so that's much better… cool!!!

  42. Yasmina says:
