well, i suppose you're not looking for a real answer, but here is a simplified version anyway.... it's human nature to be competitive, winning something makes people feel good. don't you want one?

Sorta looking for a real answer, sorta just stirring the pot a little.
To answer your question, not really. I won't complain if I get one, but not my ultimate goal.
Well, I also think it's human nature to be competitive, although some people are more competitive than others of course. I'm not very competitive although I would love to win a ribbon someday. Just for the recognition. Who doesn't? I feel the same as fotomann though, it's not my ultimate goal too. I don't need a ribbon to be satisfied about my photos or feel good about myself.
Oddly enough, while a ribbon would be, well, awesome, it's not my reason for being here. I've had way more fun and have learned a lot more in the head-to-heads that have popped up. Met some really nice people that way, too.
A little bit for me, winning a ribbon would mean "I've arrived." It would mean (to a certain extent) that I would have to right to claim to be pretty dang good at photography. Whether professional or not, it would be a validation of some talent.....
And maybe that's it for some other people. Doesn't everyone want to be talented?

But alot of it is luck to. Right place, right time. Right contest, right concept. Right day right weather...and so on.
I have never seen a contest winner that did not deserve it, but there is a certain degeree of luck. You just have to hit it out of the ball park, and you never know when that my be.
Now that I finally have one.. I think.. ok.. now what?
heh.
Seriously, my quest to have the hat-trick (one blue, one red, one yellow), has finally been completed, and I honestly don't know if the site has much more for me.
I'm still shocked I won the blue over CalliopeKel though, she has way more favorites than I do.
