Contest - Choosing a design
Can I divide my contest prize to multiple winners?No, you need to award the full amount displayed as contest prize to one winner or multiple winners. This means that the prize money that you have for one winner will be the same amount for the other winners that you will choose. Alternatively, you can also select runner-up winners by buying non-winning entries for the amount specified by the entry owners. How do I create a Poll?All you have to do is click the Launch Poll button found in the Description page of your Contest, then select the entries that you are considering. Once done, share the poll link to your friends through email, Facebook, Twitter, your blog and any other way you like. Learn more here. This is a great way to get your friends to help you choose by having them vote on up to 8 designs! How do I choose the contest winner(s)?You can select a winner at any time until 30 days after your contest ends. When you're ready, do the following:
How do I choose the runner up winner(s)?After awarding a winner, you will be able to select runner-up winner(s) by buying non-winning entries for the amount specified by the entry owners. Here’s how:
How long do I have to choose a winning design?You can choose a winner or multiple winners at any time until 30 days after the contest ends. If you need help, create a poll and get your friends to vote on up to 8 designs! What happens after I have chosen the winner or runner-up winner(s)?After choosing your winning entry, you and the winner or winners will enter the Contest Handover. It's a short process in which a winner transfers the ownership of their entry to you. Once it's over, you will be the owner of the entry/entries and the winner/s will receive their prize money!
Can I ask for changes to the entry(ies) I have chosen?Yes, you can ask freelancers for revisions through private messaging while the contest is still active or during the Contest Handover.
What happens if my entry is selected?If your entry was selected as the winning entry, we will send an email to you with instructions on how to complete the Contest Handover. It’s a short process in which you agree to transfer the ownership of your entry to the contest holder. Once it’s over, the prize money will be all yours and the contest holder will be the proud new owner of your entry!
Why is it taking so long for the contest holder to declare a winner?Sometimes, it can be hard to choose a winner from so many quality entries, which is why the contest holder has up to 30 days after the contest closes to declare a winner. The good news is they can always choose more than one winning design! I was promised the prize, but it was awarded to another Freelancer. What can I do?It's ultimately up to the contest holder to decide who wins their contest.
