On April 15 Emma will be 18 years old. How time flies. It seems not so long ago that we first saw her as a cute little child with bushy hair, but soon she will be considered an adult in most countries. The theme of this years birthday project is about turning 18 and how life changes. The childhood you leave behind, and what lies ahead. Memories of the past, hopes and dreams of the future. We can’t know what’s going through Emma’s mind at this time, but we thought it would be nice for us to share our thoughts and experiences with her.
There are 3 ways you can contribute to the project, and you can do any or all of them.
Turning 18
For this part of the project we would like you to write about your own 18th birthday, what you left behind and what you were looking forward to, or if you’re not yet 18, you can tell Emma what you are looking forward to, and how you think your life will change. If you just can’t think of what to write for that, you can just tell her about a signficant birthday you’ve had, or your most memorable present. Try to keep the length reasonable. You may include photographs in the story.
Happy Birthday in a Picture
This will be a fun section where you can say Happy Birthday to Emma in a photograph. The idea is simple, take a photograph that says Happy Birthday in some way. Like a picture of all your friends holding up a banner that says happy birthday. Or a picture of your napping cat with a Happy Birthday ribbon around it’s neck. Or a little sign with your birthday message placed in an unusal spot. Anything as long as it has a written message to Emma on it. Try to be creative; don’t everyone send us the examples I just gave. Be as serious or crazy as you like, as long as it’s in good taste. The pictures should be 300 pixels per inch or higher (a 1200 x 1600 photo would be a good size).
Birthday Wishes
Just can’t think of anything? Well, you can also send a simple Birthday Message to Emma here.
Please send your story or Happy Birthday in a Picture submissions to emmawatson.project@gmail.com with the subject Birthday Project. Any pictures you send should be 300 pixels per inch or higher. Submissions with emails, website links, addresses, phone numbers or anything we consider innapropriate content will be edited or rejected.
The deadline is 16 March 2008.
Your stories, pictures and messages will be professionally printed and sent to Emma. The finished book may also be published on the web and by sending us your submission you are giving us your permission to do so.

Wow, Emma is 18 already. It seems so long ago and in actual fact it was. I can't wait to do this project. I did the christmas one as well and was a little disappointed since we haven't heard anything back but Emma is porbably busy. I will do whatever i can to stay in touch with Emma. I hope one day i will meet her. The studios are only about 100miles from where i live!

I'm 18 in 3 days!! It's been a long time coming and I think that Emma probably thinks the same 😛
I'm already 18 :smile:.
Funny how everyone says their 18 all of a sudden eh?… 😛
I'm looking forward to this project!! it was a great idea by the staff of ew.net!! I think Emma is really going to appreciate this because it shows how strong her fan-base is and how diverse it is, as in there are fans from many countries around the world.
damn… its been 8 years
