Vote on Patch’s Cutest Couple

Do you and your spouse still hold hands after all these years? Do you exemplify commitment, loyalty, and friendship? Then enter Howard County's Cutest Couple Contest!

If you and your partner live in Howard County, the City of Laurel, or Maryland City and would make even Saint Valentine blush, submit a photo of the two of you for a chance to win some Patch swag and a gift certificate to Famous Dave's.

Just upload your image by 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 8, 2013, and don’t forget to include your names in the tagline. (You need to be a registered Patch user, log into the site, click on this story, then select "Upload Photos.")

The winning couple will receive a $40 Famous Dave's gift card plus two Patch t-shirts, canvas bags, and water bottles (retail value of $10). The winner will be contacted on Feb. 14, and the prize will be mailed to his/her home address.
