This contest is meant to be fun and very, very simple. I'm sure it's been done time and time again, but this is my second AP contest, and I'm interested to see the results.
I'd just like to ask you to complete the sentence: Love is ________.
It could be thoughtful, humourous, dark, etc. Try to avoid cliche as much as possible, but with the subject matter, that can be a bit tricky.
Enjoy!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 20, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 1 people
- Final notes: Thanks to everyone who entered!
I honestly was just looking for people to complete one, simple sentence, and I was amazed at the results! I want to thank everyone for their thought and effort...you all far exceeded my expectations.
Gold was awarded for the variety of uses for the word love. I felt it truly captured the broadness of the term in simple lines.
Silver was awarded because it fit my personal feelings on love between two people,capturing its depth while still confined to the area of romantic love.
Bronze was a terrrific example of true love outside of a romantic situation.
The honorable mention approached the question from several standpoints, and also caught on to the fact that there was a slight 'trick' in how 'simple' the contest was (initially, I wanted people to think outside of romantic love).
Thank you all for your participation!

love is an emotion. it is a feeling of great happiness and joy. love is something that will belittle you for eternity, while at the same time, making you everything you are. without love there is nothing, yet everything. loveby angelodragon13 0 lines, 2 comments, on Jan 16 9:53 AM 2008• Viewed by judge.

And love is wishing you could trade your life for his...cleans sheets all week, comforting a temp in he middle of the night or scaring off monsters...Love is comfort when there seems to be no peace... a whisper in the night that it will be alright a morning kiss that says I Do...
