I would really like to start a contest for logo and print design for a children's museum. What I would like to know is that if we start a contest how long do they run for and what are the rules for extending them. I've been browsing the boards and see that some of the contests that didn't get a lot of input were extended. Also if we can extend them is there an additional cost?

Also, how does it work if we need the logo, business cards and letterhead? Can that all be done in one contest or does it have to be done in multiple parts?

I've been lurking on the boards the past few days and love how talented everyone is. I also really enjoy the variety that has been displayed. I am a little concerned that some of the contests aren't visited as much as others, so Im curious if there is some advice you could give that would help get alot of submissions? I suppose the award amount might make a difference :p but considering we are just starting out non-profit, our budget is limited (and toward the lower end of the suggested awards).

Any input or advice would be great. Im so excited to get this started and finally have an identity for our children's museum.

I have been in email contact with Connie and they are getting ready to start their contest.

This has to be done before the contest starts, since the ability to PM is turned off for all Contest Holders. Either that, or the Contest Holder can contact me and I will invite the designers they ask for :)
