I know whenever I start a contest I try not to look at the other entries to avoid creating something similar subconsciously. In this way, all of your designs will be unique and will potentially stand out.

@ evan - very true. This way you don't fall into the cliché.

I think one needs to fulfill all the requirements stated by the CH. Plus study the ratings and comments and try to understand the taste of the client.

In earlier decades, agencies would submit three logo designs to the client. One would be the art directors, favorite, (the most beautiful). Two, would be the research department favorite (the smartest). Three would be the most typical recognizable industry generic logo (the clients specifications). The final choice could go any way. It did not matter, all the bases were covered. The client has to pay for, and live with the final decision. For the designer, the almost random selection is frustrating and bewildering.

Even the most successful crowd source designers win less than 10% of their contests.

We often do not get to see the clients decision process. This makes it even harder. Client psychology is not learned in Art school.
Hope this helps...

It's not always the best design which wins. It has to be the CH's taste!

If the contest has been running awhile, check to see if any of the top rated designers you like are competing. If the CH has eliminated or does not like their designs, think twice about the contest. Many Contest Holders have agendas or tastes which are not evident in the brief. Look for contests where your style works to solve the design problem and the CH is in tune with your abilities.

How to win-keep a good idea, combined Corel and Illustrator, work with 3D elements. If you have a good idea, style, you can win. If you have a good font, you will win, if you make the effect on a text as 3D look, you will win.

When you enter a contest wall, assume its a blind contest and move straight to the clients brief and come up with something unique.
Your first design might just be a foundation can be improved on... You can come up even with a better one...

Just a good idea can win, You can see how the others are work the idea, that can be a example of what you need to design, no copy, but you can make the creation near by this.
