I wanted to give you some direct feedback.
First, no one has put in more effort than you for our contest. I truly appreciate and recognize the effort that you made. For whatever reason, the consensus is that your designs just don't fit with the message we're trying to give. It's not that your designs are bad or unprofessional. If anything, they are some of the best we've seen. They've consistently been at the top of what we like visually. They're just not right for us and our business.
Please don't remove any of your designs. I can guarantee that no matter what, you're going to end up with a lot of points when our contest is over.
Honestly, thank you so much for everything you've done.
