Welcome the 2025 (11th) Cate Blanchett Birthday Project!

Every year, for the past 11 years I’m collaborating with Cate Blanchett fans together in order to make something special for her birthday. And I am super excited to say that we have made 10 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 HOPE.

I think that collaborations create hope. Hope gives us the wish to change and make a better world.

this year i will ask you to send me a handwritten sentence that will later create a mosaic of different cultures.

All you need to do, is to write : Thank you for __ and complete the sentence with your own words.

In your email please also answer the following questions:

What’s your name

How old are you

Where are you from

What’s your native language

I will make out of the texts and answers a short video that will demonstrate how Cate was able to bring so many people from so many cultures TOGETHER.

Some important points:

Please DO NOT use cursive writing so it would be as readable as possible.

The final project will be a short video that includes your texts and answered questions in a creative way.

THE FINAL PROJECT WILL BE POSTED ONLINE: So don't get too personal. Everyone who wants to see the project, will be able to do so.

How does it work?

Send an email with your Name, Age & Country

Mention in the email if you joined any of the previous projects and if yes please do mention the year.

Send your text (take a pic of it) and answer the questions.

Rules:
