Each year, Retro Uprising hosts a retro themed Valentine's Day Card Contest!

First place will win the 2015 Valentine's Day Badge! :in-love:

Rules:


Make a retro themed Valentine's Day card. (See past year's contests below for examples.)
Post your image in this thread.
You can submit as many entries as you want.
You can not re-submit entries from previous years - has to be brand new.
You must make the card yourself. However you do not have to create it completely from scratch. You can start with a screenshot or other piece of art.
Everyone's submissions are welcome!

Deadline:


You must submit your entry by February 14th, 2015 11:59pm PST/UTC-8.

Winning:


If we have more than 20 submissions then on February 15th Kugyince's wife will pick her favorite 20 retro themed Valentine's Day cards.
I will then create a poll and list those top 20 cards.
The poll will last two weeks.
The card that gets the most votes in the poll will win the contest and receive the 2015 Valentine's Day Badge.
No cheating. Fishy votes will not count. Don't create fake accounts or ask all of your buddies tvote for you. Let the voting happen naturally and give everyone a fair chance based on the quality of their design, not the quantity of their friends.
Be fair and may the best card win! :kissed:

You're not breaking any rules as far as I know, but you might have at least credited the author of the picture...

Figured I'd make a simple submission even though I technically am late.

Closed due to lack of interest. This contest ran for 10 years starting back at EVG but it seems to have finally come to an end.

This was the tenth year? Are you gonna try again next year?

I was going to stick my oar in, but after having had a peep at the previous years' entries... every single bloody idea I had had had been done before.

(Isn't it beautiful in English when you have three 'had's in a row like that.)

My bright idea for a Tetris one for this year was shot down super-fast when I googled it

:(

I do love egg puns, eggscruciating as they are :D so thumbs up for the Dizzys

@DB, not without multiple people requesting a return. The first year for this contest was 2005.

Previous years have had a lot of submissions, I think just plain old shutting it down due to one year of meager interest is a little hasty.

Well it's not like previous years have been full of lively activity either. If you want it to return next year just bring it up and get others to agree on it.

I didn't bother this year because I'm completely sick of the holiday. It's nonsense and kind of insulting. Why do you need one day a year to buy over priced junk just to say you love someone?

I didn't enter because I just don't have the time these days.

I feel like this wasn't really promoted well either. Whatever happened to the news blast idea?
