Figma Community Awards 2022
This article was originally published on April 14, when the Figma Community Awards went live, and updated on May 11, after we announced the winners.
Every day, Figma Community members publish over 1,600 resources to help designers and their teams work more openly and efficiently in Figma and FigJam—everything from UI kits, to voting widgets, to plugins that help you create more accessible and inclusive products.
We’re always learning from these contributions. We know that many of you are, too. That’s why we’re excited to announce our first-ever Figma Community Awards, a celebration of the ways that the community imagines, designs, and builds—together. Community members nominated their favorite resources on May 2nd, and today we announced the winners at Config!
