8/20 Hydrate Shell Jam 2026 will be happening soon! It's an event that takes place on 8/20 (August 20th), where people create new shells for the ghost Hydrate.

For an explanation of how the event came to be, please see the event's page. Also, check out the list of shells on Hydrate's page if you're unfamiliar. Folks make a lot of cool and creative stuff!

If you're interested in joining us for this silly creative exercise, be sure to check out the rules and information on the event's page. There's about a week to prepare!
