Mirror\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009dLet me explain it in simple terms so you can understand. Reflections is a contest.

Mirror\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u009dYes, you could enter in each of the 8 categories if you wanted, but you can only enter each category one time. <\/p>\n
