Creator's Choice

Creators know craft when they see it. This award lets them name it.

The Creator’s Choice Award is decided exclusively by this year’s finalists and nominees. You know the work. You know the craft. You know who deserves this.

Five creators have been nominated for the originality, community-building, and dedication that earn real peer respect. Vote for the one whose work you admire most. Voting is open now through March 23. One vote per nominee.

Your craft. Your community. Your call.
