‘Project Midnight’ Returns To Celebrate The New Year With The World

As you attend parties, count down to the new year, and (perhaps) drink a bit too much this December 31st, consider snapping a pic of your surroundings and sending it to Mary Matthews. For the seventh year in a row, the creator known for projects like 39 Second Single and the web’s largest slow dramatic clap has returned with Project Midnight, which captures the activities of worldwide collaborators on New Year’s Eve.

Each year, Matthews asks contributors to submit photos and videos of their New Year’s Eve celebrations. She then compiles these submissions into a video montage that showcases a diverse group of revelers as they all ring in the new year. The previous six entries in this series can be found on the project’s official blog. Here, for example, is the 2013 edition:
