Dear Ch
How to Rank and Thank Designers: When it comes time for final rankings, designers appreciate
when you choose the top three CONCEPTS (as opposed to variations of the same design) for the
gold, silver and bronze awards. If you want to rank two different concepts by the same
designer in the top three, that's fine.Also, rank as many entries as possible, because designers get points added to their overall site standing for each blue ribbon they get.
This is how points are distributed:
How is designer ranking and points calculated?
Points are awarded at the end of the contest by the client:
1st - 50 points
2nd - 20 points
3rd - 10 points
4th - 5 points
5th - 5 points
6th - 3 points
7th - 3 points
8th - 3 points
9th - 3 points
10th - 3 points
11th+ - 1 point
After that, each ranked entry gets one point for the designer. Nobody will be insulted by
being ranked last, the points are still good! So if you pull some entries out of the "Not
Interested" group and give them a rank, the designer gets some benefit from entering your
contest.Hope that's helpful, lots of contest holders don't realize this and most are glad to know.
It's a good way to thank designers who don't win the contest prize, but who worked very hard
to offer you lots of options to choose from for a great logo.
Thanks for understanding
