2012 CHALLENGES
I participated in 24 challenges in 2012 -- way, way more than I ever did before. They just appealed to me. There was overlap among many of them and my overarching goal was to make some space on my TBR shelves, so it was not quite as crazy as it looks.
But it still made me a Reading Challenge Addict! I signed up for that one too, at the "Out of This World" level to complete 16 or more challenges. I fell short by one.

2009 CHALLENGE
I hosted my first ever challenge in 2009. It was a prototype of the American Version of the Battle of the Prizes, but because it only ran during the summer months, I called it the Sunshine Smackdown.
