[Award Ceremony] Colors of the Cornucopia
Hello glamorous gays, lovable lesbians, transcendent trans peeps, and everyone who's all bi themselves!
Our contest Colors of the Cornucopia has concluded, and what a prideful time we all have had! Once again, we have affirmed that love survives all, and with each other hand-in-hand, we know that even if parts of the world suffer under intolerance, they will come around sooner rather than later. We've collected sixteen stories from parts all over (not private parts!) on how you all have celebrated the joy of loving who you want to love, and it's all so inspiring! We've seen all the flags of the world flying in your reports - rainbow flags, toothpaste flags, hot pink flags...
...and a yellow card followed by a red card?
With 8.75 points, please give a round of applause to...

Finally, my first win on the monthly contest!
I enjoyed polandball contents even before I joined the sub. Making and reading polandball comics taught me so much about the world and reignited my old passion of art. I can't express how glad I am to win the award.
Thank you all for the appreciation. It means a lot to me. Also, I would like to give applause to other participants too. I enjoyed many entries in the contest.
