Have you any tips for attracting contest entries?

Here are some tips to attract more contest entries:

 

  • Check that your contest description is easy to understand and contains all the information the designers will need. We recommend including examples of what you're looking for, such as images and sketches, if possible.

  • Ensure your contest title fits your contest description and promotes your contest.

  • Consider increasing the prize money or upgrading your contest to Guaranteed.

  • Take advantage of additional upgrades such as the Top Contest and Featured upgrades to get more entries.

  • Don't wait for contest participants! Use your social network to spread the word and bring the competition to you. Post a short message and your contest link on your blog, Facebook, and any other social networking site you use. Ask your networks to do the same!

  • Tweet about your design contest and include a short link to it. Ask your followers to retweet it.

  • Check out other active contests that are similar to yours and have lots of entries. Check their contest title and description for ideas.
