Welcome to another Masters’ edition and what an issue it is! Choosing just six Masters this year felt like the greatest challenge of all when there’s such a pool of talented scrappers. I am so excited for our Masters, and I look forward to the amazing work they will no doubt produce this coming year. The challenges this year were designed to test the scrappers’ ingenuity.
