Yes! We recently used topic voting for awarding poster prizes at a workshop:

> **[Posters](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/c/access-workshop-2023/posters/63/l/latest?order=votes)**
>
> This is where you can find all the workshop posters, to browse and vote for your favourite!

This is a great use case for this functionality: the voting can be quarantined to just one sub-category, and we can do the same thing at our next workshop without having to wipe out votes in the previous competition.

It would also allow for topic voting on more than one stream at a time.
