Is there acause, an organisation or a person in your life who you think is just so giving that they need to be publicly appreciated and projected into the spotlight Then the Thankyou Project is waiting to hear from you.
In conjunction with Kleenex and Mix FM, the Thankyou Project has gone to great lengths to provide a space for people to give thanks to anyone and everyone they think needs thanking. And so far people have thanked their girlfriends, their boyfriends their cats and their Country, all of which are currently being exhibited on the website.
The project is one of nine Film Australia new cross-media initiative projects focusing on Changing the World in Five Minutes and was inspired by the book Change The World For Ten Bucks, a book focusing on the ways in which we can promote healthy human life and minimise any harmful effects that we have on our environments.
On June 1, the Thankyou Project will project all the so far submitted thankyous into the evening winter sky simultaneously in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. And on that night at either the Sydney Opera House, the Forecourt Melbourne in The Arts Centre or at an as yet unnamed Brisbane locale, they will give out double passes to a BIG THANKYOU BASH that will be held in a secret location nearby.
To get your Thankyou Project thankyou projected you must submit it to one of the galleries before midnight on 29 May.
But,for an untitanictime, that does not yet have a definite end,the Thankyou Project will go onafterthe June 1 celebration,so you can still thank someone without all the boom, crash opera. And let’s face it, I don’t think there’sone of us out there that doesnt have someone to thank for who we are. My thanksgo to Kasper.
