Celebrating Diversity 2023: Arts & Crafts Contest - Community Voting

[Chris]

Welcome to the public voting thread for our Celebrating Diversity 2023: Arts & Crafts Contest. In this contest, users submitted artwork that celebrated aspects of diversity that personally resonated with them. This could include race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. The community voted using like () and love () reacts to narrow the entrants down to a top eleven, and now we need your help to decide on who places in the top three.

I had a hard time choosing between two of them even though they are all great.

 

[Croconaw]

All of these entries were amazing, even the ones the weren’t chosen. I enjoyed reading all of the posts. I feel like it made me more aware of how diverse everyone is and gave me a little insight on how different we all are. It’s nice that even though we are all different everyone seems to get along here.

I also loved seeing everyone's entries, whether they made it to this poll or not, and reading the descriptions behind what they each represented. We have a wonderfully amazing and diverse community!

I’m always astonished what everyone creates even if we all have the same prompt! There were so many touching and beautiful entries and it was a highlight to read through everyone’s contributions. I love being part of such an open minded and diverse community and that we always come together with all our differences to create a safe space.
