So I began designing that Design Contest site idea (pics)

01-25-2005, 10:18 PM

Home Page - rough draft of the main page of the site.

Contest Page - rough draft of the page where a particular contest is displayed.

In reference to a thread I started last night:

Originally posted by galleryseek

I notice here on GFY there's a lot of contests mainly for logos and such.

I assume this has been done already, but a site where you can signup and start your own logo contest for example - and designers can enter the contest and post their entries and the contest starter can choose the winner... GFY is sufficient with this obviously, but the one advantage this service would have is probably a much bigger designer-base which gives you, the contest starter more variety.

I see this working out well, and not only for logos.

If something like this exists, point me in the direction!

Thanks.

also another advantage of this service over a normal gfy contest is the owner can choose to rate the designs that come in - which will give the designers a hint as to what type of style the owner prefers (hence providing the owner with more accurate designs). also a public rating could be added in too.

opinions?

the research i've done indicates otherwise.

the couple that I saw, were just based around forums and not a custom system. so there would be a significant advantage with something like this.

Great idea. Suggestions:

Add usage (print, web only, shirts, etc.) if not vector

Add payment options (will pay via epass only, epass + paypal, epass + paypal + moneybookers, etc.)

Would the designers have profiles or portfolio sections? All sorts of stats you could post there.

Endless possibilties.

Yep.

And I'm not going to have 2 seperate members areas as you might think it'd be (one for contest starters and one for designers) - it will be one members area with the ability to start a contest and/or design as well.

The profile/portfolio would contain all designs arranged in an ordered fashion along with started contests.

Also contest alerts via email.

great idea - but to make it work good, you should put some clauses and shit in there. I have lots of ideas for something like this. You can always get at me on ICQ, 168....845...246

heres one right off the bat ,

whoever starts the contest has to pre-pay the cash prize. You really need to avoid people freeloading peoples work, so you have to guarantee a winner per contest, even if the design isnt offically used, its total crap when a bunch of designers put their hard work into something and nobody wins, or they hire someone else to make a design 'based' off their favorite(s) from the contest.

Also have all submissions auto-watermarked, of course.

damn i can go on and on and on. I thought about thiis idea several months back, but just never had the time to put it in action.

GL with it

SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.

Great Idea!

I am looking forward to submitting my entries in the various contests..I shy away from half of the ones posted here because they seem kinda shady the way so many have turnned out in the end.

I think Triple 6 has a great suggestion and it would give the submitters much more motivation and confidence in the program.

whoever starts the contest has to pre-pay the cash prize. You really need to avoid people freeloading peoples work, so you have to guarantee a winner per contest, even if the design isnt offically used, its total crap when a bunch of designers put their hard work into something and nobody wins, or they hire someone else to make a design 'based' off their favorite(s) from the contest.

Good Luck!

i like it, looks very professional. good idea.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

Yep. Set up an escrow.

Also, have a reputation ranking system like on ebay.

hey bro... were you aware of the outpost?

Same sort of idea... but hey, they probably need some competition! I'd suggest going over all that and trying to improve the little BS they pull ;)

Good luck to you as always.

well guys unfortunately this idea won't be happening from me.

I signed an NDA half a year ago that had a slight mention of a site like this and I completely 100% forgot about it and the owner contacted me.

You can expect something similar in the near future from someone else.
