THIS CONTEST IS ONLY FOR THOSE IN THE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES GROUP
If you're not in the group, please do not enter. But we're always accepting new members! 
You can join here: http://allpoetry.com/group/info/People%20with%20Disabilities?stay=1
Hello again my friends! I hope that you are all feeling
well and energized tonight. I pray that your lives are
filled with endless tranquility and that your world shines
a little brighter with every passing day.
For this contest, I thought that it would be pretty interesting
to try something different here. I want you to go to this page:
Member List Take a look at all of our current members. I want
you to pick someone and write them an inspirational and
motivational poem. You don't have to let the person that you
choose know until you are done writing your poem.
Your second option is to create a collage for someone in the group.
This was an idea that I tried a couple of weeks ago. I am sure that
many of you will remember reading about it in the new contest page.
Build a collage of pictures and add a poem to it. You can include pictures
that represent your friendship or relationship on the site. You could
even write a song or a short story dedicated to them. If you have
any questions about this prompt, please feel free to contact me and
ask me. I can give you a great example of what I am looking for,
for this prompt.
RULES-MUST BE FOLLOWED
1) Make sure that the person that you are writing for
is a member of this group or your entry will be
disqualified!
2) Make sure that your write is at least 25 lines long.
3) For option #2, you must add a poem, short story, or
a song in the middle of your collage.
4) Use spell check
5) Use proper grammar
6) No sticky caps or all caps
7) No chat lingo
8) Keep it clean-No erotic or profanity.
9) Please enter your letter and option number in Author's Notes.
10) Multiple entries allowed.
11) Add "Live Your Life To The Fullest And Have An Awesome Time!"
to your author's notes. This is a quote by me! 
12) HAVE FUN!!!
NOTE: I have opened up this contest for multiple writes!
Thanks a lot everybody!
I am going to start the points at their standard amounts and later add
to them as I get more entries. I am hoping that each and everyone

- Final notes: Thank you very much to each and everyone of you who came through with a write for this contest. I truly enjoyed reading through all of your heartfelt and wonderful dedications to each other.
I am glad that I decided to do this contest and I am sure that each of you did as well. I know we have so many friends and family members and every day on the site, we always find so many more to add to our list. Sometimes we may forget to tell each other thank you for the comments and applauses that we receive. Also, for all of the lovely and cherished talks that we have everyday.
Especially in our group "People With Disabilities," a little appreciation and recognition goes a long way!
Thank you for your thoughtfulness, creativity, and most of all for your open hearts. It was truly a pleasure to read all of your entries here! The top three were very moving and stood out the most to me. Please take a moment to read through each of them whenever you get a chance! Thank you very much and take care of yourselves. Have a wonderful week ahead and thank you for being an active member in this group!

Thank you so much
Hugs to you.
Wow! I cannot believe it! What an enormous privilege! There was so much talent in the contest and I am honoured to be selected as one of the winners.
Jeremy, I thank you so much for holding this wonderful contest, and also for being an outlet for emotions.
Thank you for giving us (aspiring poets) a wonderful place to express creativity!
When I read I had won, I felt like a child at Christmas.
To have my work recognized in this manner is truly a thrill. Thank you so much for the 'congratulations’ I am tickled pink with the win, I never expected to win, as I thought that the length of the poem might of put you off reading it , so many people do not like a lengthy write.
But I just could not stop, the love kept flowing .I feel so blessed to be able to share with others, my love and respect for all.
I send my congrats to the other winners and many beautiful blessings to you all.
Love from your friend in poetry,
~Angel-anne~
