Postby inkhana » Tue Feb 15, 2005 2:03 pm

(being announced very late...gomen...^^;; )

First, I'd like to take a moment to give an honorable mention to Golden_Griff, whose entry was a close runner-up and was commented on several times by the judges. :)

And now...

The Winner of the Valentine's Day Art Contest is...

[size=167]Aka-chan!
[/size]

Congratulations on a great entry!

Honorable mention? Commented on several times by judges?

(was it controversial? :stressed: :lol: )

Congrats Aka-chan! :jump: And thank you all for your comments :)

Griff demands a recount! :lol: Yours was certainly very clever, G_G. ^__^ I think all the extras were those wonderful procrastinators. <.< >.> I used to be one, but I missed one to many contest deadlines and try to be a little more punctual now.

Lol, I didn't want to be the first to say procrastinators :sweat: Yep, that's part of the reason why I havent participated in the previous contests. It just so happened that I drew that picture before I thought about putting it in the contest :eyeroll:

You know what I think? :shady:...That pocky that Aka-chan has been passing out has hypnotic drugs in them :shady: And I know, I gave her the recipe! :shady:

That's a :shady: lot of :shady: shady :shady: smilies :shady: there, :shady: G_G :shady: .

Are you trying :shady: to :shady: tell us something? :brow:

(Drat, there's a maximum number of smilies?? Boooooo.)

Conspiracy? :shady: hmmmmmmmm...

;) :lol: ^______^ Congratulations, Griffie. I loved your pic and the message you placed on it.

Anyways, CONGRATULATIONS to the big winner, AKA-CHAN!!! :jump: :dance: :rock: You're so talented.

I just made some sugar cookies IRL, so for all the contestants *passes out sugar cookies* ^__^ enjoy, you all did great jobs!

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Griff, speaking as a judge I was very torn between yours and Aka-chan's--I thought it was so wonderful that someone (Bakura_fan did too) picked up on a kind of love that is far more important and far greater than any purely romantic love we as humans experience---and that is the divine love of Christ.

:lol: that was really funny, Shooby!


Back to topic, all I know is that judges submit their choices privately to Inky and will never know what other judges voted for. ^_^

Everyone did a great job, pls keep it up!

Yep. ^_^ But then again I like to be drastically different in my way of thinking so I tried not to go for the obvious ^_^ Funny though, because I was thinking nearly everyone would go for the same idea o_0

Hey you! If you didn't use up all of the smilies already I'll give you a not so happy looking face for teasing me on my use of smilies! T_T. I like using the smilies to convey my "serious but playful" moods. :p

(yikes, now that I think about it those faces are discouraging o_0 )
