Design contest?the debate rages on - UPDATE

by Rob Mason ~ June 9th, 2008 Filed under: Strategy, Work.

In the ongoing “Design contest debate” as I’m calling it, here’s a quick update on the contests entered so far (all via 99 designs):

  1. Entered one that got withdrawn 4 days before it was due to finish! Was hours away from uploading my entry. Lesson learnt: tell them in the comments that you’re going to enter.
  2. Entered another one and have got 3 stars (not good) but no feedback. Lesson learnt: ask for feedback.
  3. Keep an eye on the contest’s status (healthy, caution or unhealthy) to see if the contest holder is really keeping an eye on things and providing the feedback needed.

I have a long watchlist of cool sounding contents that I intend to enter soon, so will keep you posted.
