    Apologies if this affects any designs you're currently doing.

  3. I think it's only a problem if we actually plug it in. Not a high voltage for us - but for a mouse?......

  5. @cybertronic.... all your entries are just recycled entries from other contests, why not do what the rest of us do and put in the work to adapt the entries to the contest holders' brief.... .

    All the designers here could do what you've done, but all it does is clutter up the contest area for no valid reason :-(

  9. Everyone can submit anything as long as it's original and not "used".

    I've seen designers submitting stuff they've already WON with. So... give the bad credit to the bad guys.
    I believe it can't be wrong to just offer a wide range of variety and ideas and I too can say that I believe I am not offering anything of low quality nor "draft" works.

    SO either way.. as long as one plays by the rules... everything is fine.

  10. Nothing wrong with submitting a previous design as long as it's not been used elsewhere.

    My point was (and it seems to have been missed), is to at least change the content of the design to match the brief of the contest.

  11. cybertronic you seems missing something about "as long as plays by the rules", everytime you submit design, there are always reminder from the page that we have read the brief and foolow the guidelines.
    So cybertronic.. in this case what Nadia said (above) is true about content.. and please at least "you plays by the rules" too and i'm sure you're not that kind of "bad guy" :D cheers mate ;D..

  12. Some excellent entries received and we're now starting to see some more striking and different-looking designs.

    We're definitely getting closer. Nice work and thanks to you all for the efforts so far.

  13. Wow, real quality appearing here - it's difficult to keep up with all the entries coming in! What a nice problem to have though and thanks to all of you for some great work. It's not going to be easy to even short-list the entries, let alone select a winner.

    We'll announce the short-list tomorrow, around the middle of the day UK time.

    Thanks again to everyone who's entered.

  14. Hi everyone, apologies for the delay here.

    The short-list is as follows:

    BleFish
    FIAM
    Gandecruz
    H-rarr
    LJK
    ManilaHub
    Meskowhizz
    redial

    I'll speak with all of you directly about what's wanted from here.

    Foe those Designers who've not made the short-list, many thanks for your work. If you want to submit other entries, it's not too late to try again. We like a lot of the entries here but none of them completely 'blow us away'. If you do submit another entry, PLEASE INCLUDE A DESIGN OF THE PORTFOLIO PAGE TOO.

    For Designers who are working on an entry or are thinking of entering, it's not too late. As I said above, we are still open to new designs and ideas. If you do submit another entry, PLEASE INCLUDE A DESIGN OF THE PORTFOLIO PAGE TOO.

    Thanks again to all of you who submitted designs.

  16. Just a frigging minute - theres 1 day and 17 hours left - I take it you've ended the contest? If so be warned - a lot of designers don't enter their design until the last 24 hours, for many reasons.

    Enjoy what you have - I wont be submitting my design then - use it somewhere else.

    Adios

  20. Zippy,
    you appear to be new to 99designs. Firstly you need to learn that there is no need to have an attitude towards contest holders who have clearly explained what process they are following.

    Please ensure you read all the comments - seems you didn't do that or missed the fact that new entries are still being accepted with a provisio as outlined by Nigel above.

    Secondly, be aware that not every contest goes right to the deadline... many contest holders will pick a winner days before the close of a contest - as the guidelines say, get your design in early as it is within the CHs' rights to close a contest early, they are not obliged to wait out the 7 days (default setting at the moment I believe)before declaring a winner.

  21. We're blown away by the quality of some of the designs appearing here!

    It's going to be very difficult deciding on a winner.

    A big thanks to all those who have provided designs and those who are still working on them. We will not be making a decision until after the closing date/time tomorrow - and likely not announcing a winner until Friday some time.

  22. Thanks to everyone who submitted a design, and particularly to those that were short-listed and provided designs for all three pages.

    We're going to think about the designs we have here and 'sleep on it'. We'll announce our winner tomorrow - late morning UK time.

  23. After a lot of thought (and consultation with others) we have decided that meskowhizz is the winner.

    ckolic was a very close second.

    Again, many thanks to everyone who took part. The quality was excellent and selecting the winner was very difficult.

    I hope you'll all enter my future contests.

    Best regards,

    Nigel
