Vocal Bonus Leaderboard: 02/14/2024

On this Valentine's Day, we thank all of our creators for sharing their creativity and passion with us. Whether you're celebrating with a loved one or embracing self-love, we hope this week's stories have inspired and uplifted you. Here are this week's winners.

A reminder of some ground rules we use to formulate the Leaderboard:

The time period of data analyzed for each weekly Leaderboard is collected from 12:00am Wednesday - 11:59pm Tuesday ET each week.

Creators can only win one place in one category on the leaderboard.

Creators cannot win the same category two consecutive weeks.

Creators will win the category that they placed the highest in. However, if the category they placed the highest in is the category they won the previous week, and they placed in another category in a lower place, they will win the category that they did not place in the previous week, in the lower place.
