What a privilege it is to live, to love, to grow.
To laugh with friends, to chase dreams, to heal.
We often take these moments for granted.
Life isn’t perfect — but it’s beautiful.
And today, that’s enough.

Meet our Judge: Edward Anassah 👉 Founder of Humble Beginning Stories (@hbsblog).
ㅤ
We caught up with Edward to hear what sparks his imagination:
ㅤ
🧠 Miro: While he doesn’t have personal favorites, he calls out Miro as an exceptional, go-to tool for its collaborative power and versatility.
🦁 Simba from The Lion King: Currently rewatching it with his daughter, Edward finds Simba’s story of growth, loss, and redemption deeply moving.
🎬 The Lion King: The animation still stuns him; the vibrant Pride Lands, the "Circle of Life", and the emotional resonance of sharing it with his child.
ㅤ
Want your work reviewed by Judges like Edward? The Extended Entry Deadline is May 30.
ㅤ
Submit in categories like Character Design, Animated Series, Pixel Art, and more.
