Participation! I'm good at standing around and doing something while really doing nothing at the same time.
I've won 1st place at art competitions (very small ones though), cheer and dance competitions (local, state, regional, nationals), and also did fairly well at regional competitions for band as part of the dance unit.
Cheer competitions are probably the more exhilarating. And dance competitions are more friendly and interesting. Competing is probably one of the things I miss most about high school. Loved everything from helping each other do our makeup, to the excitement just before your music starts and earning those enormous trophies. If I had started younger, or been more determined, I probably could have kept competing at the college level. That's one of my big regrets.
I won a sandcastle making competition when I was about 8.
The first competition I ever won was an paper airplane contest in 1st grade. My plane went the farthest. I still have the ribbon.
I also have a ton of football (soccer) and basketball trophies ranging from 4th to 1st place. Then there are various academic acknowledgments in writing.
