Default Reflections on 2 years of the Fortnightly Challenge

Two years ago I set myself the personal challenge of entering every fortnightly challenge that year, something I continued through 2014. As we are now in 2015 (just) I thought I would look back on how its gone.

As far as the competition itself goes
  • Over the 2 years there have been 38 challenges attracting 290 entries & 481 votes.
  • The highest number of entries on any particular challenge was 12 (twice) and the highest number of votes was 17
  • The lowest number of entries was 4 and the lowest number of votes was 9
  • In one challenge not even all the competitors voted
Anyone any thoughts on these numbers?

Personally
  • I won the first challenge of 2013 & the last of 2014 - A good way to start & finish
  • Overall I've won 11 outright & been joint 1st in 3 more
  • My biggest win was with Waiting for Clients with nearly 75% of the vote

  • Probably the image I had most fun (and made most mess) creating was Strawberry Splash

  • Two of my entries went on to become POTWs
& I'm very pleased with how its gone.

As far as 2015 is concerned, I dont think I will undertake to enter every challenge, but I will still enter challenges where the subject inspires me.
