Have you ever won anything???
 
What have you won? It could be anything. A School Raffle, something at a Fair or even a Massive Competition. Anything?

I've won...
  • Some Aussie Rules Footy Faces (looked like Pog): It was a newspaper contest. Out of 100 winners I was one of them
  • A Massive Stuffed Bear: I won it at the Royal Melbourne Show. It was a game where you had to throw a dart at a balloon. Well I hit the right balloon and won.
  • Best Topic Creator: In the 1st Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards I got best Topic Creator.

Well, I cant recall a lot of the other stuff I won, but from the past couple of years these are the things I have won:

The Louis Armstrong Jazz Award: For outstanding achievement in the field of Jazz, as demonstrated through superior musicianship, character, and individual creativity. 5/9/02 (This award is distrubuted to individuals at certain schools, but is nationally recognized. And the name is then engraved on a plaque and displayed at the school.

Outstanding Soloist award Jazz in the Meadows contest: for outstanding creativity and improvazation in a solo for a Jazz Ensemble. 2002

President's Silver Education Award for Academic excellence, and oustanding academic achievement. 2002 (The Higher one is Gold, so dont go thinking I'm a Genius ;) )

Outstanding Art award(This was a school award): In recognition of Outstanding artists at (Name of School) Middle School. 2002

And smaller awards are things like Just being on the Straight A honor roll, for this past year in highschool. and receiving my academic letter for my school letterman jacket. 2003

Besides the bigger awards listed, before the end of last year and this past year, I never really got any awards, so I am pleased that I did get what I have so far.

Oh and almost forgot. I won the most Meaningful Poster in the OWF first annual poster awards.

I got some old wrestling/soccer crap from a long time ago. Plus some accedemic crap. I don't really care about those award things though. Excluding band things I've won, which is nice. Thats a hipeful outlook for a college scholarship.

I won this cool big snake thingy at Six Flags one time. 3rd ring at the ring toss...

In our band fundraiser (which has a ladder type prize thing) I ended up winning a buttload of candy from winning the bottom prizes from each prize set. I gave most of it all away, seeing as I got my stash a few days before Halloween.

I got a Patrick Star (from Spongebob... yay) stuffed animal thing at another game thing at Six Flags. I wanted to keep my friend from winning it.

I've won Oddworld's FOM award ... twice! :D

I was first prize winner in a Final Fantasy: Spirits Within competition. I won 10 passes to the preview of the movie, a T-shirt, poster and a limited edition FF Seiko watch (seen them sell on eBay for $500 US recently). It was one of those competitions where you phone in and I called 10 times, I couldn't believe it when I won!!! Especially since I was waiting for that movie so much!!!

Honorable mention prize award for a contest in the Metallica Club. I won something ... darn, I can't remember what it was ... oh yeah, autographed Lars Ulrich drumsticks and some guitar picks. You had to design a Metallica billboard/advertisement.

And I won an autographed Metallica photo for signing 15 members up to the Metallica Club.

A prize in a library competition when I was a kid. I won a poetry book or something. It was like a craft competition, and I had made a replica of the royal crown jewels.

I also won a $110 pokie voucher, and I had to give it to my dad cause I was too young to gamble at the time! ;)

I won a T-shirt from a TV-show. I explained why the blue shirt goes green when you breath on it... And two tickets to the theatre, but I only used one.

Everyone's won pretty cool stuff :)

I've won the Annual Music Prize at my school 3 times :D (Gr. 3, 4 and 6) For playing the Violin (I'm in music Gr. 7 :p) and in gr 5 I came 3rd, I stuffed up badly in that one...

I almost forgot about the OW Fan of the Month!!! That was a while ago... last year in June. That was pretty coooollll!

I won a school raffle, there was a lot of chocolate a teddy bear and some other stuff.

In Gr. 5 I made a microworlds presentation for a maths competition. It was about a group of worms going to a party!!!!!!! Seems pretty stupid now. I won $250! A lot to me :p

Oh I win stuff all the time.
There's these things in some shops, I think some people call them "vending machines" but anyway, everytime I have put in a dollar, I have one a Coke.
I guess you could just call me lucky.

paramiteabe 06-25-2003 10:35 AM

I haven't really won anything worthwhile. I am not noticed enough I really do need to get noticed for my art but how and when is the question. But that might change as I further my artistic talent into Illustraition.:D Thankyou very much!

I won a goldfish at a carnival when I was 13. I'm 18, now. His name is Frankensizzle.


I won a 'be a DJ for a day' contest, once. Sadly, they didn't let me pick songs, mess with the sound board, or talk that much. All I really did was sit there with cans on my ears and watch everyone else do shit. Half the time my mic wasn't even on.

Stupid Kroq.


On my 18th birthday I bought a lottery ticket and won 20 dollars. I took it to the palace [a casino on a local reservation] and nearly trippled it thanks to the wonders of roulette and slot machines.

Hello Wolfpac. I have only won one thing in my life. It was a school competition and I won a book voucher.
