basj,  I certainly hope that you can meet your goal.  Remember though, what defines the higher ranks:

• Journeymen
  A handful of "super-citizens" will be at this class. These are people who are significant contributors to the community. The honorific "Sir" or "Lady" is appended to the front of their name. If you're a journeyman, then you are one biggest contributors to WinCustomize.com. The difference between a Journeyman and an Apprentice is that a Journeyman is contributing significantly to WinCustomize in particular as well as the skinning community in general. A Journeymen's skin is automatically made available upon uploading. It does not have to go through moderation first. As a result, only the most trusted users will become Journeymen because of this power.  They also have the ability to post news items to the front page of WinCustomize.com
   

Masters
These are the "elders" of the skinning community. People who have been around for awhile. Only a few people will be at this class. To be a Master, not only must the user be a significant contributor to the community, but instrumental to the day to day life of WinCustomize. A Master can do everything a Journeyman can do plus they can nominate and vote on users to be promoted. The honorific "Master" is placed in front of their name A master has to think of WinCustomize as their home skin website.  

Master users will also be able to sell their work through the WinCustomize store.

It's more than just submitting skins and getting them downloaded.  It's about helping out as much as you can the other people around here.  Try hanging out in the forums and helping out the newer skinners.  Write some tutorials on how you do what you do.

Sometimes it's not about what you do, it's who sees you doing it.
