I've never won anything either. Come to think of it I've never really entered into anything either

I won some art contests and some wrestling awards when I was younger.

I won a scholarship - that was cool.

I always got trophies in elementary school for grades and such. Middle and High School reverted to paper certificates, which were meaningless to me. I did win a few local and state science fairs in High School. Even got a graphing Calculator as a prize, once. I was awarded 3 scholarships for college. And at work, I've been given a few little $50/$100 GC for completing projects ahead of schedule and such. Other than that, no. I don't play sports or compete at anything, really.

Won a few awards in HS, notably in Applied Arts from BofA. I think I won it by being in woodshop during freshman year...weird thing is that I didnt even apply for the award.
