It's (finally) time to vote for your favourite entries again!
Important note: Voting for yourself is NOT allowed. Doing so will result in disqualification. Please double check your votes before submitting them, to avoid mistakes, because they can't be changed afterwards.
Current theme: 2021 vs. 2022
Description: Create 2 entries: one that represents 2021 for you, and one that you hope/fear/expect/wish 2022 will be like. (Yes, it's vague and incredibly broad, but you'll have three weeks to think of something. )
Entering period: Monday, December 13 - Sunday, January 2 9
Voting period: Monday, January 3 10 - Sunday, January 9 16
Be sure to check out the links to the animated entries, although with Flash gone (and pre-HTML5 conversion) you'll only be able to see the still image. (Still worth checking out, as it'll be bigger than the one in the thread, so you'll be able to see more details on it.)

"2021 began with remote learning, poor sleep hygiene, and running out of ways to spruce up ramen. But I, former high school drop out, graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Anthropology after transferring from community college to one of the best universities in the US. I realized I'm nonbinary, broke up with my long-term boyfriend, moved back in with my parents, learned how to drive, lost my amazing grandma, got into cheesemaking, cut my own bangs, foraged my first chicken of the woods, botched croissants (see one clutched in this Lenny's oven mitts), and started an amazing new medication. And I made the decision to forego a career in archaeology, a "career in ruins," to pursue my first dream of being a TV producer. Months of soul-crushing job searching later, I got an assistant job in the industry!
I want 2022 to be me learning and thriving and working my butt off in that job, focusing on my family, friendships, and mental health. And maybe a butterfly garden? And saying thank you instead of sorry. Sorry for this neverending story. Thank you for hearing me, I appreciate you and this community!"

"Ugh... It's been so long since I've been out of my house... At least someone sent these flowers.. Not in person of course."
