There are many good participants thats why its not easy to become one of the winners. But we'll never know if we have a chance unless we try especially if you're doing it because its your passion. In my case, I tried to join few times and luckily got the chance to be chose as a winner and it motivates me to do better. Hence its nice that they're conducting such contest here on the forum and looking forward for their other promotions.
That is the thing, I have started to learn a bit of it for fun, and passion is not something that everyone has, that is what I figured out. If this is like a "job" job for you, like if you want to make money with this, then you may not be doing it for the right reasons, by all means you should still do it if you are earning money since we all do and most people in the world hates their jobs anyway. However, there are a few who see this as their passion, like they eat and breathe and drink with it, it always fills their head, not that they do nothing else, but they keep thinking about art even when they are doing other things, they see art while walking down the road.
Those people will always end up winning, they are unique, and usually happens in artistic stuff, actors, musicians, painters, designers and so forth, obviously there comes out some guy who is amazing at coding like that, or finance, or even mechanic, but it is mainly an artistic virtue.
