Hi,
give some feedback.

Thanks.

Hi, what's the word? have you found the winning design yet?

This seems like another dodgy competition.

Someone with no entries and no feedback come?

Come on Designcrowd....

***I JUST CONTACTED DC WITH THE BELOW MESSAGE. PELASE DO THE SAME***

Hi there,

I entered in this contest a while back and was eagerly waiting for the results as I had received really good feedback. But when results were announced I was COMPLETELY SHOCKED!!!

A new designer won his 1st contest with his first entry in this contest. WITH A COMPLETELY AWEFUL design that is nowhere near the brief. I believe that contest holder has made us FOOLS here by committing the money and then paying it to themselves after getting a lot of good entries.

I STRONGLY ask DESIGN CROWD team to take a look into this REALLY FISHY contest and sort it out quickly. Please mail me the updates regarding this also.
We designers put in a lot of efforts and this kind of cheating is not at all tolerable.

Looking for a quick and appropriate action here. Thanks

So after the comments of the competition owners. It seems like guarenteed contests are not guarenteed now.... Any comments DC? Does not seem worth spending time on them now........

There are twenty designers who responded to our brief. It was enervating to receive ideas from around the world. Some sent in multiple designs on their own, some after our feedback.

Many were eliminated immediately. Others were kept in mind for the duration. Despite liking some of the designs, and appreciating the effort of all the designers, in the end none of the nonwinning designs were suitable for the project. We did not seek a logo that came close to, or approximately met, our expectation, We needed one that served.

There should not be a shred of concern from any participant that you were used for your ideas or that there was not considerable investment in time in considering the submissions. We expected a winner from you all. If we found one we would have selected. We were nonplussed and the Voters agreed.

We will not use or co-opt anything from the nonwinning art, as we agreed at outset and it was our intention to honestly solicit your effort and consider your work for use on our product. We respect your time and intellectual effort and property. None of the nonwinning submissions were winners. That we go a different way is no reflection on your skill. Thank you for your effort.

We want to give most of you positive feedback to help you earn consideration on future jobs. Who can tell us how to do that on the website? It is not obvious. Please provide direction to us.
