Please understand that your giraffe won't appear immediately.
I need to approve it first to make sure it's not drawn on a computer.


Thanks for understanding.

Everyone can (and should) send in a giraffe!

But you can't use a computer to draw your giraffe!
And you have to make it yourself.
No store bought items or photographs from zoos/safaris.
Anything else goes! And you can create as many giraffes as you want!
You can read more about these rules here if you want to.

You can send me your giraffe in several ways:

Upload
(please use this if you can)
Upload a photo/scan of your giraffes

The easiest way to submit a giraffe is to upload it here! But it won't appear on the website straight away.
I need to approve every giraffe to make sure they're not breaking the rules.



If you have another giraffe, please feel free to upload it now as well:


Woha! Two giraffes? Thank you! Do you have another one?!?


Unfortunantly you can only upload three pictures at a time,
but once these are done, you can add three more!


Can you email me a link to some of your comedy? Cause this is some funny shit man! It's soooo hilarious to think you're that old. Hahahahaha. Wow. You, sir, are funny. I think I'm in love with you. Can you tell? Please email me a youtube clip with your stand-up routine. I would love to see it! This little piece of comedy is solid gold so I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of your material! I love you!!
This, my friend, is not a number, but you're really close! I believe in you!!

(This might not be the city you're from so feel free to change it)

(This might not be the country you' re from so feel free to change it)

E-mail is optional.
I'll email you a direct link to your giraffe when it's out on the site and when I've reached a million

You need to give me at least your name and country. Everything else is optional.

E-mail
E-mail your giraffe to me

Please try to upload your giraffe before you email it to me. Click the text right above that says "Upload". It's much easier for me and your giraffe will be online sooner! If the upload fails you can send your giraffe to onemilliongiraffes@gmail.com. But try uploading first!

Please remember to write your name, age and location somewhere on your drawing or email!

Twitter
Twitter your giraffe to me

You can use @1000000giraffes to send a picture to me. And please twitter about this website, so it spreads around to everyone! If you don't understand any of this, then nevermind. Email it instead!

Please remember to write your name, age and location somewhere on your drawing or tweet!

Regular mail
Mail your giraffe to me

If you're want to send your giraffe to me, please try to collect a few yourself before sending it all the way over here! Ask your wife/husband, girlfriend/boyfriend, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, neighbours, colleagues and strangers to join in on the fun. The more the merrier!

Please use A4 paper (regular size)
and write your name, age, location on the same side as the giraffe(s).
It makes my life much more easier. Then send them to:

Ola Giraffe Helland
Jaergata 13
4012 Stavanger
Norway

Please remember to write your name, age and location on the same side as your drawing!
Please understand that it might take a while before I get a chance to scan your giraffes. I will do it eventually, but if you don't upload them yourself it might take a few days before I get to it. Uploaded giraffes will be published more or less instantly.

I reserve the right to use your submission however I want. I probably won't do anything else than uploading it to this site, but if this project becomes a success I might print a book or something stupid like that.

Please send in your own giraffe!
I've gotten 566 136 giraffes since the project started 243 days ago. Which means I'm 56.61% done!
That's about 2 339 giraffes per day and if we can keep that average I will have one million on the 13th of August 2010.
But based on the last week's giraffe count I will have one million on the 24th of August 2010.
I have 325 days left to reach one million, which means I need about 1 335 giraffes every day to make it!

Fun fact: The average age of the contributors to this project is 24.4 years old.
Giraffes per week
This graph shows you how many giraffes I've gotten for each week since the project started 243 days ago.
The red line indicates the average amount of giraffes needed per week (12 324) to reach one million before 2011.
Giraffes per day
This table shows you the exact number of giraffes I've gotten on the individual days.

Fun fact: I have rejected 11 271 giraffes because they were made on a computer or sent in twice.
Another fun fact: The most giraffes I've gotten in one day was on day 165 of the project (22nd of November) when I got 15 713 giraffes.
Progress barometers
These barometers show how far we've come in the timeline for the project.
We want the one on the left to hit the green field before the one on the right hit the red field!
The growth of the collection
This graph shows you how much the collection has grown over the 243 days it's been online
Giraffes by country
