International Day of Awesomeness

Every year on March 10, ordinary people everywhere are officially encouraged to be awesome. The International Day of Awesomeness is a playful holiday all about celebrating awesomeness, performing feats of awesomeness, and recognizing the awesome humans around you. It also happens to land on the birthday of the most awesome man the internet has ever known: Chuck Norris.

3 ways to celebrate

AT HOME

Attempt a Personal Feat

Pick one feat of awesomeness and do it, like beating your best time, cooking an ambitious meal, or finally fixing that thing. Document it and take the bow.

WITH FRIENDS

Throw an Awesome Awards Party

Hand out silly awards for each friend's signature awesomeness, from best laugh to bravest karaoke. Toasts are mandatory, modesty is banned.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Awesome Up Your Neighborhood

Leave anonymous notes of appreciation for a teacher, a barista, or a neighbor, and post a public shout-out to someone whose awesomeness usually goes unnoticed.

Plan ahead

International Day of Awesomeness is observed on March 10 every year. Here is where it lands for the next ten years, handy for planners, marketers and party people.
