Nice! Glad to see it back.
Are you going to make a global banner for this?

Yes. I can't execute all levels of a promotion at one moment.
1. Create drawing rules and guidelines
2. Build the assets (images)
3. Make any code adjustments (Award Goal, Buy Awards)
4. Create thread
5. Create X post (and then Boost it)
6. Create Header Announcement
7. Create Mailer (and then send it)
It's a multi-step process which can take me a couple hours.
