THE CITY IS CHECKING ITS NOTES
Six questions. No wallet. Leave with the New Yorker the city thinks you are.
The census is the allowlist. Register and your match is held in your name for THE CLAIM. No wallet needed today. Marketing consent is separate and optional.
Registration received. The city has your name now, in the good way. Your Resident number is issued at the Census Office and by email once the count is posted.
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 painted within a day and the painting 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 painted by Monday. If it is yours, the painting comes back to you first.
One nomination is picked every Sunday. The New Yorker in it is painted 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 painting 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 ever belongs in a product, that is a separate agreement in writing, signed by the person it belongs to.
Photos are references for the painting 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.
