“They made me”. He loved it.
Yeah, there’s no way a library is making someone show up at City Hall for an award.
I’m sure they didn’t really “make” as in “force” him too, but I can see him showing up, not realizing it would be with children, and them just instructing the winners to stand for a photo. He could have objected, but what would he say? It would be hard not to have objections come off as “I’m out of their league,” like it might make the children feel bad.
Haha, there was definitely a conversation ending with him saying “look. I won, right? Right!?” Then I get to go, I GET TO!"
1000x better than participating and finishing 2nd or 3rd and still have to show up with the other 2 kids.
Girl on the right didn’t even try. Obvious stock photo.
I was thinking that. Unless she took the photo herself.
Isn’t that the purpose of stock photos? Finding and chosing the right stock photo can be part of the process. Of course the license must be right.
The real question is, if the result is good enough to award her, which is debatable.
Why did they allow an adult to enter a contest for children? I have so many questions.
Knowing libraries?
They either didn’t put an age range there so as to not discourage young adults or they mentioned it as being linked to some young readers program but didn’t say “for the young readers.”
That or he just missed that and, since it was probably mostly parents communicating, no one realized what happened until it was time for the photo and everyone was too awkward about it to say “Oh, well #2 here wins then.”
Could also be something similar that happened to my wife recently. She 's had her library card since she was like 14 and the library still has her labeled as a child.
I had some weird stuff like this happen when I went into post-secondary classes. I had taken some programming classes as part of the so called gifted program in elementary school and my student account was configured wrong from being made before several large changes to how student accounts were managed. I got to keep my student number which had two fewer digits than everyone in my class at least, but the id verification, emails, phone calls, and taking a number and waiting in line were all a pain and I almost missed the registration deadline.

I could see that.
I like the middle one so much more.
it is nice, it would just be too cramped and busy when printed on a handheld card
i think that’s why he won, because his design is relevant, cute, and simple enough to display well on a small card
No you see that’s the actual size of these cards.
Makes it easier not to lose them and you can use it as a makeshift tabletop to hold your tea or hot chocolate when you read.
That’s my pick too. It has the most character.
Once when I was young but not that young I woke up hungover to the radio host simplifying a complex issue and asking for calls on opinions. I struggled up to my landline phone, called and was in pain and pissed off. Luckily I was caught by the producer asking my age before putting me on air as it was a talk show for tweens and I’d passed the age of the target group by some generous margin.
I can just imagine you starting the interview for a kid’s show, completely hungover and loudly declaring “listen here, you fuckwit!”
I immediately thought of the Simpsons
Yeah! And he beat their brains out!
This whole instance is insane – insane, I tell you.
Now with AI…
I like this one
Me too. I dont know if it means anything but it is very aesthetically pleasing.
Oof… Looks bad. Ai has a lot to learn.
It look nice at first glance, but ai isnt good at coherent details. Maybe if someone fixed up, uhh… everything it would be good. Probably easier to make it from scratch then.
Oh no, he’s a filthy dextral…
At least it wasn’t a spelling bee. 😏
This is wholesome 💓
his design fucking sucks
That is quite the story.
