It's All About Tintin - A Waymarking.com Category

A description of the location/object must be included in the Long Description.

LANGUAGE NOTE: We recognize waymarking as a global hobby and welcome waymarks from all countries. However, if the waymark is written in a language other than English, an English translation is required. The English translation does not need to be perfect, just clear enough for the Officers and other viewers to understand what the waymark is about. And, as always, please cite your sources. Thank you!

You must personally have visited the location/object. The waymark must include at least one photo taken by yourself, but additional photos are greatly encouraged. If the item is inside a building, a photo of the outside of the building would also be appreciated, and the coordinates must be from the entrance to the building. The default photo of the waymark must be one taken by yourself. You are, however, welcome to upload a copy of the relevant drawing from the book if you want to.

Real World Locations:
We will accept buildings and natural geographic features; cities will NOT be accepted unless there is a view of a city depicted in one of the Tintin books that can be replicated with a real world photo (e.g., New York City Skyline from New York Harbor in Tintin in America). Cities or locations only mentioned, but not depicted, will not be accepted. See example below. If a location is mentioned together with a drawing, it will be accepted even if the drawing does not match the real life location perfectly. Some of the drawings are nearly 90 years old, so we cannot expect that you can take a photo that matches a drawing 100%. You should, however, try to do your best to create a photo that matches the drawing from the book. Please describe the connection between the drawing and your photo if it is not obvious to the eye.

We will ONLY accept references to Tintin books by Hergé as seen on this list.

If the waymark is of a location directly relating to one of the Tintin stories, you must also either upload an example of a drawing showing the similarity (see the example provided above for Petra, Jordan) or provide an internet link to the drawing.

Sculptures/Figures:
Both official merchandise from Mouilansart and copy items are accepted whether they are for sale or on permanent display in a store. Inspiration to find a store can be found here

Museums:
If the museum is dedicated to Tintin, we will only accept one waymark for the museum itself. If it is another kind of museum with one or more Tintin objects exhibited, the number of waymarks is limited to one per waymarker profile.
