๐Ÿ—ฟ Theme: Contemporary History (1945-1990)! Anything from any of those years and decades is allowed, from any corner of the Earth. Can't think of anything specific because too much everything is happening at once? Here's some contemporary history for inspiration:

  • The Golden Age of Hollywood (1929-1959)
  • The Division of Korea (1945)
  • The American War in Vietnam (1955-1975)
  • Cold War (1947-1991)
  • Soviet Occupation of the Baltic States (1944-1991)
  • Space Age (after 1957)
  • Heavy metal music (1960s-1970s)
  • The Troubles (Ireland, 1960s-1998)
  • Punk subculture (1970s)
  • Information Age (1971-present)
  • Rubik's Cube (1974)
  • Mount St. Helens eruption (1980)
  • The Chernobyl disaster (1986)
  • The Singing Revolution (the Baltic states, 1987-1991)
  • What was your country up to during these years?

๐Ÿ—ฟ Medium: anything goes except sticker slapping and found images with nothing added to them. That's not cool. Put some effort into it and make something you would want to receive!

๐Ÿ—ฟ Size: The usual 2,5 x 3,5 inches. Please use a reasonably sturdy backing.

๐Ÿ—ฟ On the back of the card, please write your name/username, date of creation and the name of the swap. Please also add a note explaining how your ATC fits the theme!

๐Ÿ—ฟ Newbies with at least 20 completed and rated swaps are welcome, but non-raters, flakers or unresolved low ratings are not.
