How much does a design contest cost?

A logo contest typically starts at $199, while larger projects, such as websites or apps, require higher prize amounts. Ultimately, the cost depends on the project type and the price level you set, giving you full control over your budget. You set a guaranteed prize to attract designers, with no hidden fees. ZillionDesigns handles the platform and process, making it easy to match your budget to your project’s needs.

How long does a design contest take?

Most contests run about 3 to 7 days. Designers submit concepts and refine them based on your feedback. Many clients see several viable options within the first few hours and use the remaining time to request tweaks or compare directions. You can close the contest once satisfied or extend it for more ideas.

Who owns the final design?

Once you select a winner and the prize is awarded, full ownership of the chosen design transfers to you. The designer retains no rights to reuse or resell it. This gives you complete control to use the design across branding, marketing, packaging, or digital platforms without limitation. Ownership clarity is built into the contest process from the start.

What files will I receive at the end?

Winning designers deliver professional, print-ready, and digital files suited to your project. For logos and graphics, this usually includes vector formats such as AI, EPS, and PDF, along with web formats like PNG or JPG. For web or app projects, you receive layered PSD design files and assets prepared for development. Everything is organized, so your team or vendors can use it immediately.

Can I request revisions or choose a different path?

Yes. During the contest, you can request revisions from any participating designer to refine ideas you like. You are free to explore multiple directions before deciding. If you want to shift style or concept mid-way, designers adjust based on updated feedback. The process stays flexible so the final selection matches your vision rather than forcing you into one route.
