In the UK we have something called the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. It's a scheme designed for young people (aged 16-25) to demonstrate allroundedness and general good citizen ship. Website here if anybody is interested -

I am doing the Gold award and I have a year left to get finished. I have to have completed 5 sections including a skill - MLP customising!
Unfortunately since I left school I haven't been part of a "group" and so I'm kind of running blind with it. I have been customising for a couple of years now so I meet the time criteria, but I also need a way to show the progression of skills.
I have a blog in my signature which - when I get my backside in gear and update it - will show all of the customs that I've made as a kind of portfolio - but I need somebody to assess my progress and fill in the form. I have somebody in mind for this if they are willing, but need ideas on how the customs could be assessed.
I have a couple of ideas:
1. Scoring customs out of 5/10 on certain criteria
2. Repeating my first custom (still in my possession) to show progression
3. Selling a custom and trying to hit a certain value (in 2010 my PonyCon fundraising custom hit around £30 I believe)
Any suggestions?
