Yahoo! India Answers blog

For most of us it’s just another day. But for some it’s ‘The Day’ – when you go out with that special someone and create memories of a lifetime. And for others in India especially, it is the day to stage protests and revise on Indian culture and thrust those revisions rather violently on others who think of it as a day to celebrate.

No matter what category you belong to, on Answers you can celebrate this day creatively and not worry about being judged.

We want you to submit EITHER your sweetest Valentine or, the best anti-Valentine you can come up with.

REMEMBER, your Valentine must still follow the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines and the Yahoo! Terms of Service, so don’t: rant, use hate speech, use suggestive language, be offensive, or say anything that might not be appropriate for anyone under the age of 13. If you wouldn’t show it to your grandma, don’t post it here.

Since we know Valentine’s day is often a crafty holiday, we’ve again, partnered with our friends over at Flickr to create an Answers Flickr pool where you can upload your Valentine.

If you choose to upload an image, please do not upload photographs of yourself: instead, please download the Yamster — Sites like Picnick have provided holiday scenes and smooches appropriate for Valentine’s day, but feel free to search the web for more!

You’re not limited to using just the Yamster, but please remember, no photographs of people or body parts will be permitted.

Not feeling crafty? Don’t worry—we’ve posted an open question here: What love poems and sonnets or anti-love messages will you be sharing this Valentine’s Day?

Whatever you decide to do, don’t delay, as all submissions are due by February 10th at 12 Noon. We’ll review all submissions and will select winners based on creativity, and dedication, so be sure to put your heart into it!

Winners will be posted by the end of the day on Friday, February 12. And winners get a chance to win a few extra Answers points!

So go on, spread the love or your dislike! But do read the rules here.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Cheers,
