Hello, Schnujo, aka Jody!
INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW:
I absolutely loved your "WdC 2023 Birthday Review Raffle - CLOSED" event and hope you'll run it again in 2025 if you're able.
Your writing kept me riveted and I read straight through to the end on my first visit and it was easy to find what I needed on subsequent visits because your design was so great.
MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK:
Happy Writing.Com Anniversary day and month! I read this "WdC 2023 Birthday Review Raffle - CLOSED" event forum page of yours sometime in the past and greatly enjoyed it, but didn't have time to review it right then, so I flagged it for an anniversary review (meaning I saved the link to it in a special "May" file. ). Apparently years have passed without me getting to it, but I'm finally here! I hope you enjoy this review as a celebration of your time here and find the review uplifting and encouraging. It is meant to be honest and respectful, and in accordance with WDC guidelines.
I believe I entered in this every year that it was open since I learned of it. I loved participating and it definitely added to my enjoyment of the Writing.Com birthday celebration each year.
Your "WdC 2023 Birthday Review Raffle - CLOSED" event page is well designed and written. It's easy on the eyes, with ample use of white space, lots of color for interest, and a fantastic picture near the top. The many colors and image also added to the celebratory feel of your review raffle forum's page.
The rules are clear and easy to understand.
The "inspiring prizes" are super generous and definitely inspired me to do more reviewing than I might have done without the potential to win them.
Your use of drop down notes made the page feel more organized and allowed it to hold a lot more information than it seemed like on a quick scroll. It also kept the length of the page to one that I think most people would find reasonable.
I thought you did a great job with the prompt for week fifteen of the current round of the Promptly Poetry Challenge. You even wrote four more lines than required. 
Your thumbnail picture was perfect for this "WdC 2023 Birthday Review Raffle - CLOSED" event page and added visual spice to the message / theme of the event.
I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical mistakes (or mistakes of any kind) in your "WdC 2023 Birthday Review Raffle - CLOSED" event page.
I appreciated that you included jump links at the top, so when I wanted to go to, for example, the rules, aka "review requirements," it was fast and easy to do so.
I thought the activity, reviewing, and community genres you selected for this forum were appropriate matches for it.
I liked that you included ways to earn more tickets and all kinds of extra information.
My very favorite part of your "WdC 2023 Birthday Review Raffle - CLOSED" event page was the drop down menu with so many ideas for review recommendations and suggestions. I have incorporated a lot of those into my regular reviewing.
Shockingly, it appears that I'm the first to review this awesome raffle! I'm sure you'll be glad to get advance notice (unless you already scrolled down to the bottom and looked, haha) that I'll be awarding it five stars, because I think it's awesome.
IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER:
In the spirit of helpfulness, and because of the requirements of a new reviewing challenge I joined recently, I have one little suggestion to make your piece stronger. If you're interested in some constructive criticism, read on. But if you aren't, no worries. Just know that I enjoyed your piece and move on to the next section.
Still reading? You're brave! Yay for you! 
This is a really nit-picky suggestion, but I would change the three dots at the end of this sentence to a colon. Right now the line looks like this:
"Click the links below to jump to the..."
If you made this change, it'd look like this (done so you can see and for easy copy and pasting, should you decide to make the change):
"Click the links below to jump to the:"
I'm not sure of the official grammar rules, but three dots usually makes me think the person has more to say but isn't comfortable saying it. I doubt that's the case here. A colon in this case makes me think there will be a list, and there is, so it seems to me personally to be a better choice.
As with any review, please take what serves you and release or ignore what doesn't.
CONCLUSION:
I enjoyed revisiting and rereading your WDC Birthday Review Raffle page, and thank you for hosting it all the years that you did!
Thank you also for sharing your time, creativity, heart, experiences, and writing with the Writing.Com community!
Once again, happy anniversary day and month! I hope the year ahead is filled with blessings and joy for you!
May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance, and may the Lord bless you and all that you do, during your anniversary month, and always!
