This little thing ... this tiny little gif image that makes people go nuts around here and causes so many arguments?
Someone explain it to me?

| 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? |

validation. makes people feel talented and like they are one of the best.
on the flip side without one it can make people feel insecure and question their talent.
really I think it all boils down to self confidence either way and there ends up being a clash of feelings amongs people.
Then there are those that truely don't care and just like to stir the pot. |

Don't forget the rest of the rat pack. Of course all of these colors are just names we associated with their placements ;)
Green - 4th Place
Purple - 5th Place
Brown - Last Place

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.

I agree with this.
Besides, competition is healthy - it pushes ppl forward :) |

We want to feel loved by people who annoy us. It reminds us of our own family.

| 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.

There's a purple ribbon?? Oh man! |

There is no point in entering a competition if you aren't trying to win! The blue ribbon is the symbol of victory around these parts.

I was thinking about this yesterday: why blue, red and yellow??
red, green and blue would be more obvious... why these colors? |

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. |
