Attention IJ Fans! The Impractical Jokers team will be awarding and posting YOUR fan art every week throughout the season, so send in submissions early & often!
Impractical Jokers, the long-running prank challenge show, is as much about jokes, dares, and displays of embarrassing public stupidity as it is about lifetime friendships. Sal, Joe, Q, and Murr have built a die-hard fanbase over nearly 10 years through their competitive dares, caught on hidden surveillance cameras, and ranked at the end with the “loser” facing a pre-determined “punishment” – or risk being banished from the show.
It’s exactly the kind of bonkers, unexpected, and mindlessly fun TV that builds fierce audience loyalty, and the show has the die-hard fanbase to prove it. And one of the ways the Jokers’ fanbase has celebrated the show has been through fan artwork of the guys, the pranks, and the infamous or especially insane moments and quotes.
Now, to celebrate the Jokers’ new season (premiered July 8th) and their 10th year of hilariously embarrassing pranks, truTV and the Impractical Jokers team want to see your best fan art OR tribute videos. So if you’ve always wanted to depict Murr’s solo skydiving punishment from Season 3, or Sal’s pantless run through a Brooklyn grocery while covered in jingle bells, or even just a nice wholesome shot of the four Jokers together, now is your chance.
Whether you’re an illustrator, a graphic designer, an animator, a TikToker, or just an enthusiastic amateur, we want to see your most inspired Impractical Jokers fan content. Still images and vertical videos are all on the table. Every week, greenlit fan art will be featured in a roundup on IJ’s social media, for a total of six greenlit vertical video submissions and twelve greenlit still image submissions by the end of the season. After all of the submissions have been selected, one talented fan artist will be chosen to receive an additional Grand Prize of $2,000; one talented fan artist will receive an additional 2nd Place prize of $1,000; and two talented fan artists will receive an additional $500 each as 3rd Place prizes. Both fan art and video submissions will be considered for the grand prize slot. Not bad!
Not sure what to make, or where to start? Just Google “Impractical Jokers Fan Art” to get a sense of what other fans have done before – or, better yet, tune in on truTV every Thursday starting July 8 at 10/9c to watch new episodes and get inspired by the challenges, pranks, punishments, and hilarious reactions from the Jokers and bystanders.
