Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPISpyEmojis
Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a post every week announcing the latest project.
Start scanning your surroundings: The goal this weekend is to make photos and videos that catch your favorite emojis hiding in plain sight — like this curious tree 👀 spotted by @nori_qoo in Japan. Whether you’re setting out to stumble upon an emoji look-alike or are inspired to create your own, here’s how to get started:
Keep an eye out for people or objects in unexpected places that resemble emojis, or ways that you can add more expression to a scene by creating real-world versions of your favorite emoji reaction, like 😍 or 😂.
Make your submission playful by showing emojis at an unexpected scale — like a teeny-tiny 🥑 made out of clay or a larger-than-life 🎈.
If you’re adding emojis to your stories this weekend, consider how to make them fun with tools like sticker pinning, and share your favorite creation to your feed!
PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPISpyEmojis hashtag only to photos and videos taken over this weekend and only submit your own visuals to the project. If you include music in your video submissions, please only use music to which you own the rights. Any tagged photo or video taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured next week.
