Hey Everyone,
So I was entering a few website design contests and I've noticed from the three I've placed designs in, that the communication from the CH is quite sporadic and one of the contest has closed and the CH has rated no designs and has been MIA (Missing in Action) for half a week.
So it made me a bit curious about how often this happens, so I checked the last two dozen or so "closed" contests, and none of those have chosen any winners. It seems a bit odd that these CH's pay the funds up front and then leave the contests static and stale. For the contest that weren't blind, there were some really good logos/templates.
Does this happen quite often? Just thought I'd ask.
Cheers
Tim
Dozens of closed contests and no winners picked?

When a contest goes past the 5th week of no activity then it is considered abandoned, contestholder choose to abandon for various reasons. At any given time contest close, reopen, paid extended by the contestholder. It is very normal for a contest to a week or two with no winner, then all of a sudden the contest has a winner or it is re-opened.
When a contest goes abandoned the contest prize is split with highest rated designers in that contest with each to receive 45 dollars, prize amount determines how many designers will have this split. If no rated designer then the prize money goes to a community contest where we (designcontest) will choose 3 paid winners

Thanks Sharie and understood. Are CH's generally non communicative? I'm seeing CH asks for a design and others post designs and ask for review, but CH doesn't come around for days. Though this is in the Website design section... the logo design section looks like the CH's are quite active.

@Sharie:
I also noticed that, too. At least, I learned now that some Clients are just not so active enough to check about the contest they're holding... I was actually wondering about how could a contest (that is closed for weeks) picks a winner until I read this... Thanks, Sharie!
