Celebrate AVATAR Day the Na'vi Way
On August 21st, 2009, James Cameron revealed the first teaser trailer for his mysterious new film project, Avatar. He declared the day Avatar Day, and in the years that followed the day has become a special date for fans of the Avatar franchise.
This year, we're taking the Avatar Day celebrations to the next level by partnering with the AVTR Discord, our sister fan-Discord, to challenge the community in the best way that we know how: to go outside and reconnect with the world around us!
the challenge
On August 21st, 2024, our challenge to you is to get outside, hike, walk, run, camp, picnic, breathe, and live. Take a moment away from the negativity and addictivity of the online world and reconnect with the world outside your door in the spirit of the Na'vi and Pandora.
the competition
To provide a source of friendly competition, Kelutral and AVTR will be competing to see which community can accumulate more steps over the course of August 21st! As you spend time outside, track your steps for the day (using a device like your phone or a FitBit) and submit them to your respective community by the end of the day on August 21st to add to the community total. Once all of the steps have been tallied, the community with the most steps will earn the title of Avatar Day Champions.
Official submission forms for each community will be available on August 21st on our respective websites, so keep an eye on our social media for how to submit your steps!
other suggested activities
If physical activity isn't your speed, here are some other suggested activities to do on August 21st:
- Take nature photos and share them with your friends on Discord and social media using the hashtag
- Create artwork that celebrates the natural beauty of our world
- Engage with mindfulness techniques like meditation or yoga
- Celebrate our planet in your own creative way
Avatar celebrates the beauty of our world, and we cannot wait to spend a day celebrating it with each of you!
