Do you enter a contest even if there is already a favorite?

Yep - your new entry could become the CH's new favorite! :) I think I've won a couple golds that way. I've also seen where the top-rated didn't end up winning and a design that had been entered with a lower rating has ended up winning - you just never know.


I agree completely. Specially when you believe in your feeling.

...Short answer: YES.
why? :
1- Your new design could become the CH's new Favorite! (specially if you believe and have that specially feeling about it.) :D
2- If the Idea you have is completely innovative of the one that CH's had received. Could be a new "Light" :p for them.
3- The CH's can always change preferences.
4- As long as the Contest is Open, there's always a chance.
5- The beauty of Contests is that: "It ends only at the End!"

As long a the contest is still open.. you still have the chance to win.. as long as your design is something different
that it might blow the mind of the CH then go for it.. There's nothing wrong if you will try.. don't let your creativity be boxed
with the existing favorites.. Good luck. :-)

I agree that you never know, you could win - but it is definitely intimidating. The only way to succeed is to step out of your comfort zone!

I totally agree that there's no harm in trying (if you have the time that is) but I'm confused about something here :p

So, the community rates the entries, right? But the designer can pick ANY entry as their winner, even if it's NOT the highest rated? And can they pick MORE than ONE winner?

I'm positive that someone elsewhere on the forum MUST have asked this and had it answered, and if I dig around for an hour I'm sure I could find the answers to my questions, but if you could answer me that'd be great. If you don't I'm sure I can find it though :p

I made a poor design and someone else had a highly rated one but I persevered and took out my first gold


Was that Marius Gartner...?
You were really lucky there...! :)

I am new here, but it's surprising how much CHs change their minds during the contest... It's human nature I guess, but still, for me it's a little discouraging.

Points mean nothing. I've seen CHs changing their mind several times, even on already uploaded designs.

Sometimes it goes even that far that they select a design they previously dismissed in their comment. So, don't give up. :)

This post is helpfully. Some CHs has a fair artistic judgment. Some are not.
