Overview

We often think of GIFs as being silly or funny, but they can be useful and informative, too! The GIFs Challenge tasks you with showing off a part of your Instructable's documentation in GIF form. You can enter any type of project you want as long as you compliment your Instructable with a GIF that shows some part of the process of putting it all together.

While we will be looking for fun, well-executed GIFs, we will first be judging projects on clarity, ingenuity, creativity, quality of presentation, and execution. Think of this as your opportunity to enhance your Instructable’s documentation and presentation with informative GIFs.

Check out this collection to see some great examples of GIFs being included in the documentation in Instructables.
