2024 YEARBOOK
SECRET SANTA
OVER 80 NAMES IN THE HAT! THANK YOU TO EVERY SANTA!
Our goal has always been to connect people and help them know themselves better, trust themselves better, believe in themselves more. Through the years, we read concerns about cliques, bands and people left behind, forgotten and on their own. We don’t want that anymore. This year, we want to bring you something new, dear to our team. Call in your curiosity, generosity and kind hearts. We would like you to get to know each other better.
This year, we bring you a special festivity:
Virtual Secret Santa.
The purpose is to take and/or create a special shot or any visual art for the person you’ll draw the name of. To take part, leave a comment below or send us a DM before November 30th and we’ll add your name in the hat. Once we have all the participants, we’ll contact each of you by DM and give you the name you’re paired with. This will need to remain… a Secret to everyone.
Secret Santas will be revealed in our Yearbook.
This project means a lot to us and we hope it will meet success. Be our Secret Santa and throw your name in the pit now!
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
Q&A
WHAT KIND OF PHOTO SHOULD I TAKE?
You’ll be the only judge. It’s how you feel. It can be a shot in their style, a shot in their favorite game, a shot in their style in your favorite game… Something you think they would totally be into. It can be photography, virtual photography, traditional art… A video, even. Any visual art medium.
CAN I MAKE A VIDEO?
You can, we’ll design the link in the Yearbook and illustrate with a cover screenshot. Although, for page design quality reasons, images are better.
CAN I MAKE A SET OR IS IT ONE IMAGE ONLY?
You’ll be the only judge……….
I CAN’T SEND IMAGES ON BLUE SKY, HOW SHOULD I SEND YOU MY PRESENT?
Bsky is still a young app. Send us your present(s) by DM on Twitter or Instagram, or via a link from your drive. Keep in mind since there’s a lot of images included in our Yearbook this year, we’ll only be using low res files. After the reveal, every Santa is free to send a high res image of their gift to their person.
I AM LATE TO THE PARTY, CAN I STILL JOIN?
Unfortunately, the hat sorted the Santas and they are now all working their Magic…
On the other hand, should you be willing to be a Substitute Santa in the case someone can’t make it in time, send us a DM, we will try and arrange something.

1 SHOT 1 QUOTE
THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART THIS YEAR
Before we get to work, we need you to do one last thing for us… To check we got everyone, please verify your handle is on the list by clicking on the button below. If not, send us a DM on Twitter, Blue Sky and/or Instagram with the link to your post. If you didn’t get a comment of confirmation on your Yearbook post, it means it went under the radar of our search tag and we missed it.
Q&A
WILL YOU FEATURE EVERYONE OR PICK ONLY EXCELLENT ONES?
The goal of our Yearbook is for people to open up to the community and put themselves out there, regardless of the quality of their shot. Be it good or bad, each and every one of you pick a symbolic shot, dear to you for whatever reason. No judgment, no pick, no exception. You decide it’s your favorite take of the year. We publish it.
This is not a competition, nor it is a contest. We feature everyone in a beautiful and creative magazine, just like our community.
I MISSED THE DEADLINE/ONLY READ ABOUT THIS NOW, IS IT TOO LATE?
Until November 30th, we allow the late comers to send their shot and quote ONLY BY DM on TWITTER AND/OR INSTAGRAM. If you are on BlueSky, since it’s not possible to share images in private messages yet, you can upload it on a drive and send us the link there.
WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS COMMENTING THE SAME THING?
Until we haven’t commented that your shot and quote are safe with us, it means something is missing in your entry OR your post went under our radar and we missed it. Feel free to nudge and send the link to your post by DM (Twitter/Instagram/BlueSky) if it’s your case.
WHEN THE YEARBOOK WILL BE RELEASED?
We used to forecast a release for Christmas but had to admit this deadline is not reachable for us. It is now usually published either December 31st or January 1st on all our networks.
