About this challenge
Picture this, you and your loved ones are all gathered in the living room, buzzing from the spiked eggnog, and it’s time for you to unveil your holiday card. This is your moment to fill everybody's bellies with laughter as you share the funniest or most embarrassing holiday card of all time!
For this challenge, we want to see just that. Whether it’s a pop-culture card (“Winter is Coming”), a punny card (“It’s Christmas Thyme”), or a card that captures an embarrassing moment (like when Mom made us wear matching sweaters that one year), we want to see it all! Enter the Holiday Card Outtakes challenge and submit all your hilarious moments or ideas that lead up to the creation of this holiday card. Tell us what inspired this card and why it stands out. Be sure to include the holiday card photos and/or videos if you're still hanging onto them. Don't be camera shy!

From across the room (or rather, the screen), the Vocal Team fell head over heels in love with nearly 3,500 poems submitted to the Vocal+ “From Across The Room" Challenge. Inspired by the idea of love at first sight, the Vocal creative community once again delivered with heart and soul. After a month and a half of reading love poems, and with final judging by Kirun Kapur, esteemed editor of the Beloit Poetry Journal and creative writing professor at Amherst College, we are thrilled to announce our winners.
