All entries above have been noted, thanks guys! I'm very impressed with many of your poems!

@Flute: You're welcome to edit your post with your other entries if you choose to do them :)

Contest 1:


I tried to use bright colors, as well as balloons and other things that seemed like they would fit the "festive" theme - festive spring dress, flowered ribbon symbolizing freedom and youthful play, and wings that remind me of candy of some sort. The balloon is nice and bright too ^^

Contest 2:



Humans will never be satisfied, and they will always aspire to get something. But it is impossible to achieve everything that they want; there will be failure at some point and it will be hard and life will be grayscale (hence color scheme except Butterfly Design). You may feel chained (Ball and Chain) and a little broken (G1 and G2), but always hang on to that flittering butterfly of hope (Butterfly Design).

Contest 3:

Remember
Because the smallest things
are the most special

I kind of just typed some of the first things that came to mind when I thought of reminiscence.

Noted, Aliciahou :)

There are still a few hours left to enter!

Contest 1: Avatar Design Contest



Even though I'm not religious, the rainbow has always symbolised celebration, hope, and renewal of life. Literally, the sun after the storm. What better thing to celebrate than life? And, not only does the rainbow hold special meaning for me, the bright colors really bring the "festiveness" out. ^^

Contest 2: Sylesti Design Contest

When You Believe (Believe in yourself)
(because I have The Prince of Egypt feels from singing a song from it in choir)


In this design, the monarch butterfly gene and the white peacock wings help symbolize 'rising above' through hope, dedication, and hard work. In my mind, this design would have a matching one, with white/light colors (for 'purity', and like an angel) and gold-this would be the first stage, and the other would be the second

Contest 1


I like this outfit because its very colourful and there are a lot of balloons and streamers and party hats! Also, the clothing isn't very dressy, perfect for a happy casual celebration!

Contest 2
Ambitious Zolnixi

I made this cause it seems like this Nixi will stop at nothing to reach its dream.

Your poem was sweet and simple, and I agree wholeheartedly with its sentiment.

Oh, I am so glad you liked it!

And what a wonderful way to begin the Festival! Especially since I still haven't found a single Themed or Seed. But I have an Angelic Nephini!

I sent you the CoD and thanks for picking my poem for second place. I'm really glad you liked it.

Whoa...I actually won something? Cool XD
Thanks, I've picked him up <3 It seems DSW girls don't like me, but I adore your male anyway!
