We received over 4,100 entries — nearly double the number from the previous year — and our judges selected 11 winners, 17 runners-up and 28 honorable mentions. Our finalists critiqued everything from “Bridgerton” to “The Mandalorian”; Rachmaninoff to a new hyperpop album; “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” to a collection of Mary Oliver poems; a pho restaurant to a cooking class; an indispensable set of headphones to Zoom; and much more.
