A graphic announcing the Writer's Digest Personal Essay Awards. The text "Personal Essay Awards" is prominently displayed in a teal font on the left side of the image. Below it, in a black banner, it reads "Winner Announcement." On the right side, there's a minimalist line drawing of a person sitting at a laptop, viewed from above. The person's hands are on the keyboard, and a watch is visible on their wrist. The drawing is in black lines on a white background, with a teal accent at the bottom. The Writer's Digest logo (WD) is in the top left corner.
