With the constant ups and downs of this year, it was the ingenuity of creators who provided glimmers of hope and inspiration in a world of chaos. The photographers among us captured the new moments we shared together, turning them into something worth holding on to. Photojournalists documented communities coming together to support and uplift each other. Street artists transformed boarded-up businesses into works of art. It’s time to celebrate their craft, while also inspiring and igniting others to bring their creative dreams to life. 

This year, we’re celebrating the creator, the artist, the legend in all of us. How did you see this year? It’s Blurb’s moment, your moment, our moment. #MyBlurbMoment

If, after a good-faith attempt, Sponsor is unable to award or deliver a prize, the prize may not be re-awarded.

ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES IMPOSED ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF A PRIZE ARE SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WINNER. Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner as set forth above, but Sponsor is not responsible for any undelivered emails or Twitter message, including without limitation emails that are not received because of a winner’s privacy or spam filter settings which may divert any Promotion email, including any winner notification email, to a spam or junk folder.
