A huge thank you to everyone who applied. It wasn’t easy choosing from such an inspiring group of talented makers – you made this decision incredibly tough (in the best way). And of course, thank you to our amazing judges (@igarrettoliver, @stevekhindy, @laurenmartin_studio, @saidahb, and @stacylentz) for lending their time, care, and insight throughout the selection process. Raise a glass to these incredible people – we can’t wait for you to get to know them.
