Let’s celebrate the end of 2021 by making animated GIFs for each other! Think secret santa, but more pixels and more lolz. Click the button below by Friday, Dec 17th to opt-in.
Participants will be asked to whisper a few words to @Secret Santa Bot to inspire your dream GIF. On Dec 18 you'll hear who you’re making a GIF for and what their prompt is. Interpret your prompt however you wish - get literal, get abstract, get meme’n! You’ll have until Thurs, Dec 30th to submit your creation. On Dec 31st, everyone will get their GIFs! We encourage you to also share them in this channel for all of us to admire.
