What is WWCPJ?:

I'm sure we've all received chain mails before. This project is something similar but with more fun and minimal maliciousness.

Obviously I’m not gonna send my digital camera out, it is for demo purpose only XD 

 

I’ll start by sending out a snail mail (yes, you heard that right) with a disposable camera and scarf to a foreign cosplayer (meaning, someone outside Singapore).

Then the cosplayer will take a photo of herself/himself/costumes/event/room/figurine collections/ props etc,  write/decorate his/her well wishes for 2011 on the scarf and then send it to ANOTHER cosplayer in either another State or Country.
This snail mail link will go on and on until either

1) camera runs out of negatives/battery
2) 2 weeks before Christmas 2010.

The last person will send it back to me and I will post everything here.



Objectives of this project:

• To come together as a global community to give our most sincere well wishes for the year ahead
• To promote and encourage intercontinental interactions between cosplayers
• To promote cross cultural harmony and understanding
• To inject fun and excitement into our lifes!

1. The mail can stay with any one person for a maximum of 5 days. Meaning, you must take a photo, doodle/decorate the scarf and send it out within 5 days!  This is so that as much cosplayers can be involved in the project as possible within the timeframe=)
2. Every participant is restricted to only ONE PHOTO. To allow as many cosplayers to be involved as possible, please leave the negatives for the people after you =)
