UPDATE II: More Prizes!!!!

UPDATE: Prizes and dates have been updated! The Love Letter to Yourself Contest is officially open!!! Ready, Set, Write!

Concept: Self love. Write a love letter to yourself. In poem or prose form.
Further interpretation of theme is up to you.
**If I'm confused about how it is a love letter to yourself, I may ask. Be prepared to explain any work you submit.

Rules:

Prose cannot exceed 2000 words, and can be no less than 200.

Poetry can be no longer than 40 lines of text (blank lines/ spaces between stanzas not included). Nothing shorter than haiku.

You must not include anything hateful towards yourself.

You must include the theme, name of contest, and a direct link to this journal in the author's comments of each piece you submit.

Two submissions per person are allowed, either poetry or prose, two of each or one of both.

Only new pieces, written for this contest, are allowed.

**I reserve the right to disqualify anyone from the contest for breaking any of the above rules,
any of dA's rules, or exhibiting what I deem unsavory conduct.

How To Enter:
Send a note to RiseandbeStronger with the title "Love Letter To Yourself Submission"
("LLTY Submission" will also be accepted).
Include a thumb or link to your piece(s) in the body of the note.
You may send multiple submissions in one note, but you may not submit for anyone other than yourself.
I will review the work, and assuming you have followed the rules, will add it to my "LLTY Contest Entries" collection.
