Welcome the 2023 (9th) Cate Blanchett Birthday Project!

Every year, for the past 9 years I’m collaborating Cate Blanchett fans together in order to make something special for her birthday. And I am super excited to say that we have made 8 successful birthday projects together which has ALL arrived to Cate.

Cate Blanchett has influenced me and many more people through the years and this project is my way to say: Thank You. This year the project will surround INSPIRATION.

Cate is a huge inspiration for all of us. Her thoughts and ideas inspire us and also the way she sees and acts to create a better world to live in. The projects she takes on herself, her work for UNHCR are just the tip of the iceberg. Cate’s words are not just important, but motivate us all to act for a change.

This year, we will tell Cate how she has inspired us to do things in our own life 

Each of you can tell a small story *by writing* about how Cate has inspired you:

FOR EXAMPLE

How she inspired you to do something specific.

How she inspired you to move onto something.

How her words made you think or feel differently abut something - and made you act a new way.

Some important points:

Text limit is 200 words.

The final project will be a digital book

     Please Welcome the 9th Cate Blanchett Birthday                                          Project | 2023

For the past 9 years I have been collaborating with Cate Blanchett fans around the world in order to make something special for her birthday.

As the years go by, I find this project has grown to be more and more meaningful to me. It’s not just a way to thank Cate and pay homage to her outstanding work, but also, a way to see how she has influenced so many people around the world and, in a way, made them better: She made us change, she created a community that keeps finding new way to collaborate and create new, exciting things; she even inspired us to "create" a better world for ourselves and our surroundings.

This year, I have asked the fans to tell how Cate has inspired them. It can be an inspiration to do something new or to change something. Or even how she has inspired them to move forward and be better.

I am very excited to share with you this very beautiful list of people and their stories. I would like to thank you all for joining and contributing.

A special thank is needed to Mari’ Cavicchiolo, Simisek, Lil Bellyacher and Martina for helping me financially print the project and send it overboard to Cate. 

   Cate has received the printed edition of this project.                Pictures can be found on my Instagram page                            HERE | Watch the Project HERE
