NOMINATE A NEW YORKER

Give us one New York memory. We might turn it into a world.

One person, one object, one memory, from here or from wherever you took New York. Pick a prompt and tell it in your own words. If the city chooses it, that New Yorker is made within a day and the portrait comes back to you. The nominator is credited. The subject is never tagged.

ONE PICK A WEEK · A GIFT PIECE, NEVER A SALE PIECE · NO WALLET

The city has your memory. One story is chosen every Sunday and made into a New Yorker by Monday. If it is yours, the portrait comes back to you first.

How a memory is chosen

One nomination is picked every Sunday. The New Yorker in it is made on Monday and posted Tuesday at 11:11 AM with the nominator credited by alias. The subject is never tagged and never named beyond what you wrote.

You keep your story and your photo. The portrait is a gift: it comes to you as a share card and a Resident Card, it is never sold and never used in an advertisement. If a story or a likeness is ever used commercially, that is a separate agreement in writing, signed by the person it belongs to.

Photos are references for the portrait only and are deleted after the piece is made. To withdraw a story at any time, reply to the email you receive or write to the address in the footer.
