CONTEST: Is Your Mom the Best in Prince William County?

Update: The contest is closed. A winner will be announced soon. 

Poets write about them. Strong men cry in their presence. We honor them each year with a special day punctuated by hearts and flowers, and perhaps even breakfast in bed.

Don't just settle for all the customary ways to celebrate how awesome your mom is. Upload a photograph of her to this article and write a caption telling us what's so great about the moms of Prince William County.  

Next Friday, May 11, at noon, we'll randomly pick a winner and call her the "Best Mom of Prince William County." 

Now that's a gift. But if that's not enough, we'll also award you a $50 gift certificate to spend any way you want on mom. 

Contest rules are attached.

Patch will also compile photos of moms from across the state for a "Moms of Virginia" photo gallery. We hope your Mom will be included.
