Hello and Welcome,
A new feature has been implemented where all contests on LT are blind during the first phase (open) of the contest. Only you can see the submissions, we cannot. During this phase there may be similar concepts from a number of different designers. We are not copying each other, this simply means we have come up with similar ideas based on your brief.
Any changes or ideas you share privately, either by PM (private message) or on the designer's entry page for the contest, are confidential and should not be shared with others. The reason for this is that it will lead to designer disputes that may adversely affect your project.
Once the contest goes into the second phase (finalist), all designs are revealed and only the top 5 ranked designers can continue to submit. Designers can develop their concepts but cannot directly copy someone else's work and we request that you not ask any designer(s) to use elements from another designer's work.
The main contest page comment area is for general updates only please do not post design suggestions based on other designer's work it will a problem in the second phase.
The access the designer's private page click one of the images and select comment you will be directed the private page for the contest please keep in mind the above information.
Scott
