Frequently Asked Questions
A design contest is actually a competition held among designers from aroundthe world. Every participating designer submits a design(s), based on the briefprovided by the client.
Here, at Designhill, a client —
- Writes a design brief
- Puts a budget for the contest as the winning prize
- Starts the contest
The contest runs for many days in four stages.
Subscribed Designhill designers from around the world get to know the contestpost on Designhill. They submit their designs as per the design brief andcompete for the winning prize.
The client gives direction and feedback to the designers to help them make theirdesigns better in two rounds of the competition.
At last, the client picks a winning design from dozens of submissions. Thewinning designer is awarded the prize money. Post realization of the payment,the client gets the design files with full ownership and copyrights.
Crowdsourcing is a way of getting a design related work done from a largegroup of designers in an online setting. It uses a large group of designers fromaround the world for their ideas, skills, and participation. On a commonplatform (Designhill), designers gather to complete a design task posted by aclient. While the client walks away with relevant design, the designer gets theprize money.
Once you chose a design of your choice, you’ll get ready-to-use industry standard files for both online &print use with complete copyright and ownership.
Do I need to prepare something before I launch a design contest?Our Launch process takes care of the design visual styles, colors, brief for each category which isdesigned in a way that it helps the designers to understand the clients requirements clearly.

Yes, there’s a 100% Money Back Guarantee policy. If you're not happy with how the job went, you canraise a dispute. Our Design Experts will fairly judge disputes. You will receive a full refund if we feel thedesigner has not provided the level of service you paid for. But, clients always have the option to selectguaranteed contest.
In a guaranteed design contest, a client forfeits a refund option by choosing theoption "guaranteed prize."
Guaranteed contests attract more designers leading to more design submissionsthan the contests without a guarantee.
While a guaranteed contest is a wonderful upgrade for clients’ contests, wewould like to repeat that the clients won’t be entitled to a refund once they make their contests guaranteed. However, once a client opts for a guaranteed contestoption, it could make a lot of difference! They could get relevant and uniquedesign submissions.
A client can guarantee the contest at two different stages —
- They can make their contest guaranteed during the contest launch. After theyhave filled the design brief, they need to go to “Contest Option” and check thebox to confirm and apply this option.
- During the contest running and qualifying round. All they need to do is toclick the contest option icon and choose the Guaranteed Prize option. Confirmthe option, and they’re done.
Designers will be able to see that a contest is guaranteed on the contest page.They can also see it in the contest listing page.
Clients can make their design brief confidential by lancing a private contest.Each of our private contests is secured by an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)which a designer must agree. Signing the NDA allows the designer to view theclient’s design brief and participate in the contest.
Search engines do not index private contests; therefore, clients get completeconfidentiality.
Also, designers won’t be able to add their designs submitted to a private contestinto their Designhill portfolio. They cannot share private contests designsanywhere on the Web until they have modified it to a common business nameso that it will not be associated with the contest in any scenario.
Once the contest is finished, only the contest holder and the participatingdesigners can view it. It won’t be visible to anyone else.
Well there are several factors that needs to be taken into account, like time, money, etc. If you hire a freelance logo designer be sure that you would receive a creative logo in an affordable budget and less time. While if you go with a design agency, you would get a great logo design but it would be costly and take much longer time.
