Summer 2026 - WINNER

Bloom Archive

Bloom Archive is the 2026 edition of an annual journal created around the theme “Thrive in Your Season of Bloom.” It explores the idea that everyone has their own season to grow, encouraging readers to embrace growth as something personal rather than measured against others or a universal timeline. Inspired by the field journals of botanists and naturalists, the design approaches self-reflection through observation. Just as botanists uncover a plant’s life cycle through careful documentation, we often overlook our own quiet moments of growth. The journal invites readers to document everyday reflections with the same patience and curiosity, gradually revealing their own season of bloom.
