Welcome to the 27th edition of our annual letter to thank IMDb's growing worldwide community of data contributors. As in years past, we are giving a special thank you to our Top 300 contributors, whose passion for entertainment makes IMDb better with each passing year. I am IMDb's Founder & CEO and it is an honour each year, with fellow team member Jennifer, to reflect upon the improvements we have made to IMDb with your help. We marked IMDb's 31st birthday in October 2021 and the tradition of sending this letter began in 1995 if you would like to catch-up on previous editions.
