If a project in job list has a lock icon next to it, this means the project is a private project.

A private project has the following characteristics:

• designers must be logged in to view descriptions of what the project is about
• project details become hidden once the project has closed
• private projects are not exposed to general visitors of the site that are not logged in
• private projects can not be found on external search engines such as Google.

Once you are logged in as a designer, you should have no trouble in submitting to these projects as they are run just like a normal project. Please note that you will not be able to include any of your designs submitted to a private project in your portfolio.

Details regarding this can be found in our Terms and Conditions. If unsure of what any of the other icons do, just hover your mouse over them and the tool tip that pops up should tell you what it does.
