About this challenge
Four years ago, we introduced the "Dear Donald" series, prompting the Vocal community worldwide to write open letters to the United States president, Donald Trump. Over the last four years, you've raised your voices sharing grievances, suggestions, views, and concerns. Now that the President's term is coming to an end, we want to know what you have to say now that this historical American political era is coming to a close. Compose an open letter addressed to Donald Trump, and share your thoughts and feelings around the last four years and how they've impacted you, the country, and the world.
Prize amounts will be matched and donated to a cause we believe in, Fair Fight: an organization dedicated to fighting voter suppression in Georgia and nationally.

Sometimes the simplest challenges are the deepest and most revealing. For this challenge we asked you to “unravel the mysteries, joys, and challenges of love through the power of personal storytelling” — we all love, we all feel we know what it means to love. Yet this challenge offered a reminder of the infinite shapes of human connection, and what power love has over us, even in the face of struggle and pain.
