How can I increase the number of designs that are submitted?

Although we encourage our designers to submit unlimited number of design concepts, using the following strategy may help you boost the number of designs for your contest:

  1. Make your contest guaranteed. This means that you are guaranteeing that you will choose a winning design at the end of the contest. This will assure the designers that they are not wasting their time with drafts. A guaranteed contest also attracts more designers, and boosts the number of design drafts. 

  2. Write a detailed creative brief. The purpose of your creative brief is to provide information for designers, so they will understand your ideas and what you are looking for in their designs. By giving more details, designers will be able to envision your idea more clearly and be more aligned with your vision.

  3. Give feedback and get involved. Being involved in your contest by providing constructive feedback helps give designers direction. They will provide better quality designs that meet your specifications.

  4. Increase the prize money. The greater the amount you invest, the more designers will be interested in competing in your contest. In the end, there will be more concepts submitted for you to choose from.

  5. Invite designers to participate. To attract better skilled designers, you can browse through our designers and their past work. By checking out their profiles and portfolios, you may get an idea of their design style, which may better match what you are looking for. You may invite these designers to participate in your contest.
