This year has been my most productive regarding the number of entries in a single year since I started here almost ten years ago! I’m aiming for 100 challenges entries for the year and should make it!
For 2014 I want to beat this and would like to see other members join me in this side challenge and enter more challenges then your most productive year! It doesn’t have to be 100 just set a target above your most productive year!
Just let me know in this thread if you’re up for this challenge and what your goal for 2014 is. I will put you on the list and update your progress at the end of each month.
Tribal elders and prolific challenge participants like GeneralEbanmornBear_Music would surely be around a 150 challenges a year target! And I’m positive these guys will join us?
Allan just a quick look and I think your best is 88 in 2008!
Put you down for 90 in 2014?
Yeah, 2008 I was based in Adelaide, South Australia, a very photogenic area. There's no way I'd ever manage that... :(. My target now is to try and get my average over 6.000. V difficult given the number if challenges I've already entered. Quality rather than quantity are going to have to be my drivers..... Last 3 yrs have been a bit of a drought for me as far as DPC has gone, I've focussed ( no pun intended ) on a book and exhibitions which I've thoroughly enjoyed. I still really enjoy DPC, but tend to be a bit more picky about the challenges I enter...

Brilliant idea, but I'll pass....
All good mate! this is certainly not for everyone. Just keep entering as much as your comfortable with :)
Well I have no problem beating the number of submittance than in my best year. I challenge myself in a 7+ and first ribbon. When that goal is achieved, I'll set a new one.

Hmmm ok but how about you look at what you have done so far. You have 6 entries in a month so that should equate to 72 for the year! So what do you think about 70 entries for the year?
I've entered 144 challenges so far this year, and it's been one of my LAZY years. I have no idea what my high-water mark is, but it's certainly over 150... So, as far as "beating my yearly challenge" goes, that's sort of business-as-usual, it's not actually a GOAL. But I'll tag along as an eminence grise and encourage everyone else, how's that? :-)

I think I'm in the same boat skiff ...

If you put the data (challenges-entered list) into a spreadsheet you should be able to just look at the last line number ...
I have updated the list. Bear_Music your most prolific year was 2012 with 164 challenge entries surprisingly that was ten more then GeneralE which was his most prolific year!
I have put you both down for 165 for 2014 so we have a ding dong battle of the heavyweights at the top!

165/52=3.17 -- that means entering every weekly challenge plus assorted free studies and speed challenges ... not sure I want to commit to that!
Overall, I've entered about 1250 of 1850 challenges (not all of which I was eligible for), so something between 100-120 seems a more reasonable goal.

What ever your comfortable with Paul but you have entered over 150 in the last two years! So I don't know how going backwards is a challenge?
The idea of this thread was to increase participation not decrease it!
I've entered 9 challenges in each of the past three years. I would like to challenge myself to enter 24 this year. Not really the kind of numbers others are talking about, but still more than doubling what I have been doing.

THAT'S what this challenge is all about! Go for it! Ditto to Rod!
