This contest is now closed.

It's been a while since our last Community Contest, so let's remedy that.

As it's February—the month of Valentines, all things romantic, and absurd amounts of chocolate intake—we thought it'd be a great time to test out a slightly more topical Community Contest. With that in mind, here's your task:

Design a Valentine's Day email worth loving.

We're all accustomed to a flurry of Valentine's Day emails come mid-month, but most are of the run-of-the-mill variety and are immediately deleted. We're challenging you to put copy, design, imagery, and whatever clever email hacks you can think of to work in the best damned Valentine's Day email imaginable. We'll pick our favorite at the end of the month, with the winner getting:

  • 2 free months of Code School
  • 2 free months of Litmus Plus
  • A care package full of Litmus and Code School goodies
  • Some Valentine's Day-themed treats
