What is Design Contest?

Design contest is an event where someone who needs a design (called Contest Holder) is offering prize(s) to designers who are participating to create the design based on contest holder's requirements. The contest holder will chose the winner(s) based on the best design that contest holder prefers, and the prize(s) will be awarded to the winner(s).

How does a Design Contest work?

• Contest Holder will launch a contest, entering some information about the design that they require, set how long the contest will be held and the prize(s).
• Designers will submit their designs referring to the requirements of the contest.
• Contest Holder can give ratings and feedbacks to alter the designs that they're interested, and the designers can revise their design according to the feedbacks.
• Contest Holder will choose the best design(s) by nominating the designs then selecting the contest's winner(s).
• After the winner(s) are selected, if the contest is guaranteed then the winner(s) should upload their design files to our system.
• The Contest Holder will download the design files and if everything is correct they need to confirm that they have received the files.
• When we received the confirmation from the contest holder, the prize(s) will be sent to the designers.
• For a non-guaranteed contest the above procedure (transferring the design files and awarding the prizes)  is handled between the contest holder and designers themselves.
