OK.
Thank PF @ Netpond for this idea on our banner competition (this post is going on all the boards!).... My mind was on an early comment from CJ @ Oprano about transparency, and PF's idea crystalized the solution in my mind.
We were ALWAYS going to post results in this thread, but this goes one step further.
Also, there has been some scepticism about who will get paid for what and whether in fact people will get paid for worthwhile work.
So, here is what we propose to do:
A couple of days after the close of the competition (we need a couple of days to sort through the final entries), we will post a link to ALL the banners submitted, INCLUDING notations of what will be used (and therefore paid for) and what won't (and therefore won't be paid for).
Remember that submissions close on Wednesday 14 July.
This will help people on a couple of levels:
- Let them compare what is an acceptable quality banner to what is not considered acceptable quality, allowing them improve their work and get better at the things they do.
- Show EVERYONE, entrant or not, that Curious Cash stands by it's word, ALWAYS, and allow feedback here in PUBLIC on the boards (we are always open to questioning because we run an ethical business and don't mind bthe scrutiny at all). It in all likelihood won't change our decisions at all (it is our check book we are opening, NOT yours), but at least EVERYONE can be confident that we at Curious Cash are ALWAYS good to our word.
- It may help some people get some work from others. That cannot be a bad thing - exposure is good marketing!
So for those of you who nhave submitted a couple of samples and gone no further, or wanted to have a go but have had second thoughts, you still have a week now to get on in for your share!
See the first post and subsequent posts from me in this thread if you are a late starter and want to know the full whack.
