The True Colors Challenge, designed to celebrate personal
expression and pride, prompted Vocal creators to share original
poems influenced by the idea of color—however they chose to
interpret it—as a way to highlight the features that make them
unique and reflect on the importance of diversity and inclusion.
Co-judging the Challenge were Daniela
Riccardi, Moleskine's CEO, as well as Nickole Brown, poet, editor, teacher, and former
editorial assistant to the late Hunter S.
Thompson.
Commenting on the Challenge, Ms. Riccardi said, "We are thrilled
to be collaborating with Vocal for a second time, as this
initiative proved to be a wonderful opportunity for poets and
wordsmiths to express themselves and receive recognition for their
work. Moleskine creates tools to support the creative process and
seeks to help the creative community unleash its human genius;
reading the many Challenge entries has been inspiring to me and the
entire team at Moleskine. My congratulations to the winning
entries."
Added Creatd COO Laurie Weisberg,
"Our partnership with Moleskine has once again yielded tremendous
value across the board. It is through collaborations like this one
that Creatd continues to give back to the creator community in such
an impactful way."
The True Colors poetry Challenge sought 15 winners, each of whom
was awarded an equal sum of $2,000.
