There are some things you can do to get the best out of your contest while some designers wait for the last day to summit to prevent from getting copied. On the general comment area you can leave notes about the colors, directions you'd like to see, talk about the font choice if you have one in my mind etc basicaly any info you give together with keeping the rankings alive, more like a interactive contest holder, will greatly increase the level of participation to your contest. You can also go thru the designers page to see the styles and invite those you like. Stuff like that :) nothing to worry... I will try to come up with more meanwhile. Thanks.
