Suggestion: Essay Writer

How would this be related to music?  Seems like an award for anybody who might write an essay about any topic.  But there are already existing awards for "Musicologist" or "Ardent Reviewer" or "Theory Buff" or "Musical Debator" or "Programmatic Composer" or "Musical Advisor" and those awards have specific musical cases in which they apply.

That's covered by the "Musicologist" badge.  Google:  "Musicology is the scholarly study of music, exploring its history, cultural contexts, theory, and social impact, encompassing all musical traditions from classical to popular music, beyond just performance. It uses various methods, including analysis, history, and anthropology, to understand how music functions in life, its development over time, and its relationship with psychology, sociology, and other fields. Traditionally divided into historical, systematic, and ethnomusicology, modern musicology is broad and interdisciplinary, focusing on meaning, practices, and the "web of culture" surrounding music."

@Wieland Handke I googled "Colossus of Prora PNG icon" and I couldn't find the graphic that you used in this image.  Could you send it to me please so I can officially make the badge?  Thanks!

Oh, I didn't expect to receive an answer to my "badge" which was in the first sense ment to be a joke.

Since I would welcome to award a badge to the "longest piece", it is a good idea to follow @TristanTheTristan idea about a "Colossos of Prora".

Concerning the icon, it was really just a "joke" of me using a WikiMedia Commons Picture and mashing it together to a "badge icon".

I'll look tomorrow, whether I have some better personal photos from that location or whether I can gather more background about "Prora" before creating such a badge for the YC forum.
