Happy first day of summer, everyone!

To celebrate the summer solstice, I am holding a contest dedicated to each member's unique meaning of "summer."
Maybe to you, summer means hanging by the pool and getting a tan.  
Maybe it means spending time home with family, or sleeping as much as humanly possible.  
Just capture your own personal meaning of "summer," and enter it here!  

There are a number of different mediums you can use for this contest!
- Photograph  
- Drawing  
- Poem  
- Short Story  
- Song  
- Video  
- Collage  
(If you would like to do something that is not on this list, post it here or PM me. I'm sure we can figure something out!)  

The judges for this contest are:
- Seravee
- nyn
- br0conut
- Neon Black
- Ilovedan098
(All of our judge positions are currently filled!)

There will be two winners.
Current prizes:
1st: - 2880 points
2nd: - 1420 points

Some last minute house rules:  
- Only one entry per person, but you may edit your entry as many times as you'd like until the end of the contest.  
- Your entry MUST be your own work.  
- All entries must include a written blurb explaining your thought process (unless the entry is a short story or poem).  
- Contest ends on the last day of summer, Friday, September 21, 2012.

This contest was inspired by this.

It's who you are, baby girl.
You see the beauty in everything and everyone no matter where you go.

I might actually enter.

Her blood is thicker than concrete
Forced to be brave
she was born into a grave

Do we PM you our submissions?

Nope, you can go ahead and post them here!
