Visitors to the site are welcome to submit proposals for NO projects. These proposals are free and available to anyone who wishes to adopt them and realize them. By submitting your proposal, you consent to the possibility of your idea being realized by someone else.

If you use one of these ideas, please consider documenting your project and sending it to us with your name and contact information so that we can add it to the NO project archive.

Add NO proposals: click here if you would like to add your proposal for a project incorporating the word NO. We will then include your proposal (and any contact information you wish to provide) in our NO proposal archive.

Proposals:

Sky NO. Rent a searchlight. Insert a round piece of foam core cut out with the word NO into the front of the searchlight, so that when turned on light is emitted only from the cut-out word NO. Shine the searchlight on the sky.

NO flashlight expedition. Buy 16 (number varies depending on number of people who participate) large flashlights and insert a round piece of foam core cut out with the word NO into the front of each flashlight, so that when turned on each flashlight flashes the word NO wherever you point it. In the evening, gather a group of 16 people and give each a flashlight. Go out and wander through the city (or wherever you live) pointing the flashlight at various things as you pass by.

Project NO on outdoor walls.
Make a video of the word NO (painted or drawn on white paper) large enough to fill the screen that lasts for at least five minutes. Take the video out at night and project it on the walls of abandoned buildings or any wall that can be used as a screen.

NO answer video. Videotape a number of people answering various questions, from shocking to bizarre to absurd, with the word NO. (Make sure the questions would have to be answered with that word.) Edit the videotape so that the questions are cut out, and all that is left is a group of people saying NO with various degrees of emphasis and expression depending on the questions (now missing) you asked them.

NO airplane advertisement.
Rent a small airplane that carries ads above crowds at sporting events etc. Make a large banner with the word NO emblazoned on it so it is very readable even from a distance. Have the plane carry the banner back and forth over the city (or any other place). (Or rent a plane that skywrites and have the plane write a giant NO above the city [or any other place].)
