How this works
Six steps. No skill required. Kids, grown-ups, working pros, and now AI wranglers all get their own category.
Trace your hand
Grab paper and a pencil, or download our template. Splay those fingers.
Decorate it
Turn each finger into a feather. Add a beak, googly eyes, whatever gets weird.
Upload
Photograph or scan and upload it — or draw one right in your browser.
Vote
Anyone can heart their favorites. One vote per turkey per browser.
Share
Post it with #ByAShowofHands and rally your people.
Winners
We announce winners in early December in each category plus People's Choice.
Judging & prizes
Our panel of Rule29 designers picks winners in Kids, Grown-Ups, and Pros. You pick the People's Choice by voting. Each winner receives an Official Hand Turkey Winner Certificate and a $20 Amazon gift card. All the glory is included at no extra cost.
