Description:

THE UNREASONABLY SPECIFIC FALL POSTCARD HUNT

For this swap, you will send 4 blank, unused postcards to 1 partner. Each postcard should fit one of the categories listed below.

oSWAP REQUIREMENTS

  • Send 4 blank, unused postcards to your assigned partner.
  • All 4 postcards should be mailed together inside an envelope.
  • Choose categories from the list below that correspond with the postcards you are sending.
  • You may use the same category no more than twice.
  • All 4 postcards must be different. No duplicate postcards.
  • A postcard does not have to be specifically made as a fall or autumn postcard. As long as the image, subject, or overall feel fits the category, it counts.
  • Vintage, modern, tourist, art, photography, illustrated, and other standard postcards are all welcome.
  • Please send postcards that are in good, usable condition. Minor age-related wear on vintage cards is fine.
  • SENDER’S CHOICE is the wild-card category. You may use it for any postcard you would like to send, but it may only be used once.
  • Creative interpretations are encouraged. Some categories are intentionally specific or unusual.

INCLUDE A NOTE (not on the cards- a separate notecard or paper)
