Steampunk Hands Around the World 2016 – Welcome!

steampunk_hands_ Araceli_Rodríguez

Welcome to the third annual Steampunk Hands Around the World, a month long celebration of the inspiring creativity in our community from every corner of the globe.

The theme this year is My Favorite Things and each of this year’s contributors will share some of their favorite people, events, and things which are part of their steampunk experiences over the years.

Hopefully, some of these items will become your favorites, too, and we all eagerly look forward to reading what your favorites are, too.

Follow along each day as new entries are added to the Official Link List,  tweets are sent using #SteampunkHands, and new discussions are posted on the Facebook event page.

As the posts are submitted from around the world, they will be written in a variety of languages. We recommend using an online translator such as Google or Bing so as not to miss out on any of the great submissions. Language will not be a barrier to this event nor the steampunk community.

Fire up those airship engines, its time to start this year’s adventure!

Steampunk Hands Around the World returns for it’s third year, continuing the celebration of the best that the global steampunk community has to offer.

The 2016 theme of the annual month long blogathon is “My Favorite Things”. Each day from Monday, February 1st through Monday the 29th, contributors will share some of their favorite steampunk people, events, and things from every corner of the planet.

Everyone, steampunks and non-steampunks alike, will be able to share in the information about who and what inspires us to keep exploring, expanding, and enhancing our community every day.

Tying all of these favorite things together are people. People who make things, people who do things, people who enjoy things – and that means each and every one of us. Together, we create our community, and we bring steampunk to life, in all of its many variations.

Steampunk Hands Around the World is just one of many opportunities during the year which brings people together, creating new connections and friendships. It is one of those events where we see into the whole of the community, and bring home those things and people who inspire us to do more and be more.

Each day, the master list of blog links will be updated at the Airship Ambassador blog site. Follow along on Twitter with the hashtags of #SteampunkHands and #SHaW , and on the official Facebook event page.

As many different languages are spoken around the world, it will be helpful to use a translation service to read each post in your own native language, such as Google. Language will not be a barrier in communication among us.

If you would like to participate directly, or would like more information, please contact Kevin Steil at Kevin@AirshipAmbassador.com
