hello1.org is seeking artists to create a FUN, INFORMATIVE, CREATIVE & ORIGINAL map of Keansburg, NJ to include places of interest as well as retail and other businesses a visitor to Keansburg would be interested in.

The map will likely be the first augmented reality-capable map of a New Jersey town, where places on the map will come to life using the free AR app Blippar.

​Although the purpose of the map is to introduce Gratitude Migration's Summer Dream guests to the town, it will be used to help all future visitors discover the town.

Interested artists are encourage to first submit examples of their work or submit a proposed idea/sketch.

The Ocean Grove map here is just a general example.

Artists are not constrained stylistically with how the map can look. The more original and creative, the better.

Given the town's past 16th century history (where John Colman from Henry Hudson's Half-Moon was felled by a native arrow), and it's current development as an artist's mecca, perhaps a unique melding of olde and new could be the style of this map.

I don't know how someone who's not familiar with Keansburg, or who can't visit, can create the map so this is preferred, however we're open to suggestions.

Places of interest include:
Irish Potato Famine Memorial
Colman's Point (where John Colman is purportedly buried)
Keansburg Historical Society
Amusement & Water Parks
James Coonan's house
Bars, eateries and other retail businesses

The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2016.

We hope to raise $500 for reimbursement for the artist.
