I saw a contest holder commenting that blind contest din't work for him so he prefers open. Open contest sometimes helps with the brief, some point that you missed and other designer highlights and now you can highlight it in your own way.

I'd say blind contests should be by default. What I remember from public contests is that when someone comes up with original idea and contest holder tells that he likes it then all the others runs with the same idea.

Right now contests are not blind by default because it is considered a "feature", and CH's have to pay to use it in order to make their contest blind. That's also probably why designers will now receive a penalty for asking the CH to make the contest blind. If it didn't cost money, you would most likely see more blind contests.

I definitely prefer the blind contests because I had to see how they have copied my ideas and designs in other competitions, but always this has been fixed. Yet you're angry a lot when you see these things.

i prefer blind contest if only the contest holder will feedback for what ever we submitted than being in a corner holding 0 rate until the contest had ended.

Blind is much better, that way there is no chance of anyone copying from other people's designs.

Blind contest, if I have great ideas in my mind.... But open contest has its own benefits, like I can see my competitors, not to copy them but to study what the CH's taste. Though... cheaters in open contest are sucks.....

I like public contests because this is the real contest when you can see what are made by the others and you try to make something better. In that way you can feel the real competition. Blind contests are good sometimes but not always.

Public contest makes it possible to see a common moving towards the CH's goal.

blind contest will always be better with ratings or comments provided for every entry, to at least you know where you're going.

Blind, sure, because we "inspire" each other in public ones.

Blind or public contest doesn't a matter to me. The only matter is if Project Holder can not describe his desire on brief, sometimes Project Holder made decision out of his brief without communicate it first to us. Hope wont happen at this site (i'm just transferred from other site =p).

Best Regards to all

Sometimes it feels just great competing with talented idealist.
But when you see opportunist getting in you just feel so fed up, and that it! lets go blind!

so to me, both of them work.
