What is a MEME?
Richard Dawkins, a British evolutionary biologist, coined the term meme (from the Greek mimema, meaning "imitated") in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.
A MEME is defined as an image, video, text, or other piece of media that is typically humorous in nature and is quickly copied and spread by internet users, often with minor variations. The MEME is a quick and effective way to convey a message or idea and has become the way we communicate in WWT so we decided to include it in our competition.
How to create a MEME?
You don't have to know Adobe Photoshop to create cool MEMES, there are plenty of FREE resources online that you can use. The top ones we would be:
IMGFLIP (Meme Generator)
Works in your browser, you can find classic and popular MEMES that you can use and caption or upload your own templates and add images. Super easy to use and a simple interface but gets the job done.
KAPWING (Meme Maker)
Works in your browser, offers a wide selection of MEMES including trending ones (which is cool). It's an advanced interface that can seem a bit intimidating at first but offers plenty of possibilities for customization, you can even create animated MEMES, add sounds and exports in several different formats.
