Hello, my lovely people! Valentine's Day approaches, and in the spirit of not spending the day with someone special, and as a kind of sequel to last year's Valentine Hangover Flash Contest, I wanted to give you all an opportunity to take out your frustration on the holiday. :heart:

To try to improve on the number of submissions from last year's contest, and possibly get together some more fantabulous prizes, I thought I'd give you all a bit more time. Therefore, the whole month of February shall be your playground!

The theme is....
As the title might suggest, this is anti-Valentine themed. But what do I mean by that?I am looking for the opposite of Valentine's, for example
:bulletpink: blue instead of red
:bulletpink: hate/sadness instead of love
:bulletpink: cold instead of warm
Feel free to come up with an anti-heart if you like! I'm looking for creativity here, people! Surprise me! (Though you're of course allowed to use one of the above examples ;) )

So Here's What's Up:
:bulletpurple: This contest will be open to all forms of art! Judges will select first place and second place for literature and visual art.
:bulletpurple: Your entry does not have to have been created for this contest, but it MUST fit the theme.
:bulletpurple: Two entries are allowed per person
:bulletpurple: Deadline: 11:59pm EST (sorry), February 28, 2014
:bulletpurple: Judges are not eligible to win, though they may submit anyway ;)
:bulletpurple: Prize donators are eligible to win!
:bulletpurple: To submit, send me a note with the subject heading "Anti-Valentine Contest" and a link to your submission. Submissions should include a link to the contest in the description! Entries will appear in this folder.
:bulletpurple: You do not have to be a member of any particular group to join this contest!

And if something loving is more your style this V-Day, go ahead and check out the Romancing Romantics Contest hosted by the awesome DorianHarper! (Don't worry, I won't hate you if you submit to both - I'm working on that one, too!):
Romancing Romantics Poetry Contest:iconflyingheartsplz:
Valentine's Day is soon approaching, and what better way to kick off the season of love than with a poetry contest? A romantic poetry contest. But! Instead of writing a poem to your secret admirer or your true love expressing just how much they mean to you or how your heart yearns for them, you'll be writing it for someone else: a Romantic poet.
Contest Details:
For this contest, you'll have a choice between any of the Romantic poets (from any country of your choice) to write a romantic poem to. You can find a list of Romantic poets HERE!
Please keep in mind when writing: the specific poet's style, themes, and/or life to make it more interesting. We want these poems to be written for them, not just generic love poems with their names slapped on. So, the more references there are to the poet, the more bonus points for you! Your poem can either be written fro
