Congratulations and Thanks.
The winners and honourable mentions were announced for Original Character Contest - WINNERS, sponsored by Disabled-dArtist. :iccondisabled-dartist:
Thanks for the Honourable Mention and Writer’s Award for Introducing The Windigo.
Cassie Greenaway’s story, a.k.a. “The Windigo”, has continued on Page 2 , Page 3, Page 4, Page 5, and Page 6.
And, more to come.
Congratulations to all the winners-
The contest accomplished its goal of promoting original characters with a disability. Everyone will eventually either know someone or face managing a disability themselves, in their life.
As the guidelines of the contest pointed out, there are too few characters with disabilities; and, those characters who are disabled, are too often given miraculous cures.
This only deprives the characters and audience the opportunity of representing a large portion of the population.
As Helen Keller (1880-1968) wrote, “The welfare of each is bound up in the welfare of all.”
-Out of the Dark, And Other Essays (1920)
“The test of a democracy is… the care given to the welfare of all the people.”
-“Try Democracy," in The Home Magazine (1935)
