Wild Things’ Forts!

Wild Things’ Forts!

I have joined forces with Weloveyouso (Spike Jonze & Co.) to bring you a very special Wild Things related project! Introducing the Wild Things’ Forts contest! If you built forts as a kid, this is for you!

where the wild things are forts project

Winner gets a “Wild Things” Edition XBOX plus a magnificent bus shelter-sized Where the Wild Things Are poster not available in stores!

Where The Wild Things Are is filled with references to building a world out of things from your everyday life and that’s exactly what we want you to do!

We want you to create a fort! Use garbage bags, tree branches, tablecloths, prosthetic limbs, wood, gold, whatever you got!

Snap a photo, and email it to me, here. This contest is now over.

If you need some inspiration, take a look at this photo series by Kelly Burgess. She asked people to construct forts and fill them with what they love.

If only I had pictures of the epic forts my friends and I used to build when we were growing up.

This is such a brilliant contest. Good on you Hamada! Say, “Whatsup” to Spike for me.

Cool idea. I’ll ask my kids to make their own fort this week-end and we’ll see what they come up with (knowing they’re only 1, 3 and 5yo …).

This may be the greatest contest ever. I’m not sure who will be more excited: my son or my husband. So nostalgic!

I wrote a post about what I think of this fort business, check it out please tell me what you think!

  yea i found that opening scene of max and his fort one of the strongest in the movie

    agreed. It was very well done. I think Spike Jonze and his crew are brilliant. I also enjoyed the beginning scene with the snow fort.
