Description of Submission: "Untitled" - Notice the choice of color, uncover the symbols, and reflect on the poem.  Here is a translation:
     Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;
     The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.
     There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
     So let us wish that man
     Will live long as he can!
     Through miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays.

"The Beginning" - My marriage in San Francisco was not only a celebration of love, but a combat against homophobia and ageism.

"Gay Chocolate" - An original way to promote the GSA club - a definite attraction.  " - Jimmy

Biography: Jimmy is a Junior at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.  He is majoring in graphic communications.  In his spare time, he volunteers for the GLBT Resource Center "Pride Alliance".  As well, he is inovled in the school newspaper "Daily Mustang".

Why Karen and Melody Liked It:  We awarded Jimmy the "Special Judges" award because he had submitted many great exceptional works,  "Untitled" was a beautiful drawing of an Asian gay couple with a nicely written chinese poem.  "The Beginnings" showed a lot of great photos from Jimmy's adventure in getting married at San Francisco.  "Gay Chocolate" was a very creative way to promote the GSA clubs.  Having the Hershey candy wrapped with positive quotes, definitely was very unique idea.
