CONTEST: Tell Us Why You Have the Best Mom in Redmond

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. Instead, upload a photograph of her to this article and write a caption telling us why your mom is the best in Redmond.

On May 11 at noon, we'll pick a winner and call her the "Best Mom of Redmond."

Now that's a gift. But if that's not enough, we'll also award you a $25 gift card from Pomegranate Bistro, which was . (If the kids can't upload a photo of Mom by themselves, grown-ups can help them out!)

The contest rules are attached.
