First let me say this contest will be open the full time and perhaps even extended. I want quality entries. If the entries are worth it points will increase to...
Gold: 1000
Silver: 500
Bronze: 250
Hm's if deserved
What I want is a piece of free verse or prose that shows me who you are. Please do not tell me I am...I did...I do. Be very creative, use poetic device, imagery and the like.

There you have it. *hug*

this is different i like it, i will try to enter it--great idea :]

Hm.
I like the idea of this contest... the only thing I'd disagree with is limiting it as you did.
I understand how people get with over-detailing their lives in unnecessary ways but.. sometimes it's just a part of people's loves. "Death"? That can be very relevant and life-altering for some people.
..But still, good idea for a contest & best wishes to you and the participants. :]
