GISH Hall of Fame 2019

Welcome to the world’s weirdest, wildest, most beautiful and strange images and videos from the
Greatest International Scavenger Hunt!

The submissions below were selected by HARSHers, Misha and the Judges to be the best of the best of GISH 2019. Enjoy exploring the weirdness! Browse through them, or click on an item number to see the top submissions.

Item 147: COLLABORATIVE. The evening of Sunday, July 28 is the event of the year: the #WeJustMetGala! Get together with Gishers in your area at your local museum in the strangest, fanciest attire you can create—go so all-out, you make Billy Porter jealous. Roll out the red carpet and a banner, then convince strangers passing by to pose with you for red carpet pictures. Be fabulous! We must see the museum in the background, and there must be paparazzi. Post your images and videos to social media and tag #WeJustMetGala, #GISH & @theebillyporter, then submit your image or video to us with the link to your social media post in the comments.

Item 141: Part of your job for the Mars Tourism bureau is managing PR. Design a brochure or poster that convinces people to visit our timeshare at Scenic Mt. gishwhes (on Mars).

Team Apparentlywe'retheSeaSlugs?

Comment: I didn't have time to make one, but I found this beat up pamphlet in a trunk of my time-traveling grandfather's possessions. * That is the actual photo of Mt Gishwhes from the NASA twitter feed (mostly).


Item 220: Chewing gum tug of war.

Team TeamFreeFabulous

Comment: Created by Lissa D. Starring Cory K., Todd M., shot by Justin W.


Item 105: Get Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, Jair Bolsonaro, Boris Johnson, or any other duplicitous, nationalistic high-ranking politician to tell the absolute, verifiable truth about any controversial and uncomfortable (for them) topic they normally lie to the public about. It must really be the real person, not an actor or someone in a mask. You must be able to verify the facts through a nonpartisan, independent source. (This may be our first truly impossible item.)

Comment: The link to Illinois State Senator Robert Martwick's tweet on 8/2/19 (I spoke with him 8/3/19): https://twitter.com/robertmartwick/status/1157457594308599810?s=20


Item 81: Love makes the world go round. Build a machine that uses love to spin a globe.

Comment: I wasn't sure how to tackle this. I went to my Dad. He thought Meccano might be able to help me build a machine. After digging out his Meccano set, which is over 50 years old, my Dad put together the machine and it worked. Emily King
