With Valentine's Day approaching, thoughts turn to chocolate and roses, your dearest beloved, and of course love! We want to see your best expression of love and romance in our juried contest:

"Artful Romance"

A sentimental moment of emotion, symbols of affection and adoration, or even a satire of Valentine's Day! Express your passions in any medium.

Let your heart be inspired! We'll even share the love with great prizes for your efforts!

How to Enter:

Join the "Artful Romance Contest Group" on Imagekind. (Click on the Community Tab, and then choose Groups from the left menu. The Romance Contest group will be a featured group for the duration of the contest.)
