FORT LEE, N.J., May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Creatd, Inc. (Nasdaq
CM: CRTD) ("Creatd" or the "Company"), the parent company of Vocal,
today announced the results of Color is Pride: The True Colors
Challenge, launched in partnership with Moleskine, the legendary
brand whose notebooks serve the creative community by helping them
capture inspiration and cultivate their talents. The Challenge
marked Vocal's second successful collaboration with Moleskine,
garnering over 37 million impressions from over 9 million unique
viewers. In total, the Challenge generated a total of over 8,600
poems from Vocal creators over the two-week Challenge period,
nearly tripling the previous record for average submissions per
day.
The True Colors Challenge, designed to celebrate personal
expression and pride, prompted Vocal creators to share original
poems influenced by the idea of color—however they chose to
interpret it—as a way to highlight the features that make them
unique and reflect on the importance of diversity and inclusion.
Co-judging the Challenge were Daniela
Riccardi, Moleskine's CEO, as well as Nickole Brown, poet, editor, teacher, and former
editorial assistant to the late Hunter S.
Thompson.
Commenting on the Challenge, Ms. Riccardi said, "We are thrilled
to be collaborating with Vocal for a second time, as this
initiative proved to be a wonderful opportunity for poets and
wordsmiths to express themselves and receive recognition for their
work. Moleskine creates tools to support the creative process and
seeks to help the creative community unleash its human genius;
reading the many Challenge entries has been inspiring to me and the
entire team at Moleskine. My congratulations to the winning
entries."
Added Creatd COO Laurie Weisberg,
"Our partnership with Moleskine has once again yielded tremendous
value across the board. It is through collaborations like this one
that Creatd continues to give back to the creator community in such
an impactful way."
The True Colors poetry Challenge sought 15 winners, each of whom
was awarded an equal sum of $2,000.

dedicated Pride-themed page that will highlight
