Dear Design Contest,

I participated in a contest over two weeks ago, and its been over two weeks now since the contest has closed. Monjoe2 was the Contest holder, and the contest was a logo design for Catalyst Construction. Anyways, they have yet to still pick a winner for their contest. The contest is still closed, and I was just curious as to what happened, and if they are going to pick a winner. Thanks for any help on the matter.

-Christopher

Here is a link to the contest I was referring to.

Catalyst Construction Logo Design


contest expired 2 weeks ago, waiting for contestholder to either pick a winner or extend the contest. I have sent an email reminder. at the end of 4 weeks one last reminder will be sent out if no answer the contest will be considered abandoned. If the contest goes to abandoned then the prize money is split with the highest rated designers , each designer will get 45 dollars, prize amount determines how many designers the prize is split with

$45 each? I think that's a bit too low especially for designers who put a lot of efforts to the project. Why not just give the full prize money to the highest rated designer in recognition of that designer's performance in the contest?

45 dollars is what the owners felt was fair to the highest rated designers, this way several get get a little instead of nothing. This is what was decided and is the policy now

Can I say with multiple threads on this topic would a new forum work?

Also, is there a target rating a logo must get to before the contest closes to be deamed a winner, or is it which ever design is leading at the time of closure - is the Winner. Reason being the contest above only scored 42/100 but it was clearly ahead to the design in second place.

All contests are prepaid. You don't need to worry about CH not paying.

I recall entering a few contests as well that seem to have just disappeared. Can the CH change their mind after the contest has started?

Some contest holders do not rate or comment through out the contest, maybe you should have a procedure of sending an email to them when a perios of time elapses with no interaction from the ch is there, the ch who interacts more gets more and better designs and we can follow our work either make it better or come up with new designs!

We do have emails that are sent out. An email is sent out when the contest first goes expired and then a notice every week. When the contest reaches a 4th week I start emailing them and calling. SO we do send messages.

As far as this contest http://www.designcon...ng-logo-design/

it was closed and the prize went to a community contest prize where we have 3 paid winners
