Each winner will receive $1,000 except for Sector Nine who will receive $2,000 for two winning designs!

We had a total of 3,532 eligible entries.

Just as we did for the March giveaway, we complied a list of all the eligible winning designs and submitted them to random.org to conduct the drawing – this time we drew 10 winners.

You can view the drawing here: http://random.org/draws/details/?draw=6760

Design #8374670 was disqualified because the designer has been suspended for violating the Designer Code of Conduct.

We ran a second drawing to find a replacement winner.
You can view that drawing here: http://random.org/draws/details/?draw=6764

The design number of any design can be found by going to the fullscreen view such as:

The design number is 8239904.

We want to send out a BIG THANKS to everyone who participated at 99designs in June – it was an AMAZING month!

Cheers,

      logabo – I don’t think those are the right numbers. To find your design numbers follow the instruction in the blog post – view the design in fullscreen mode, right click and select “copy image url” then paste into a new browser window.

      Also – the designs must be AWARDED in June.

      Cheers,
      Jason

      This is also my sentiment, maybe future raffles should/will be divided into the contest categories> Let’s say the 5 from logo, 3 from other graphic design and then 2 from web design contests. Just my 2 cents. :)

        It’s hard. Logo contest have for about 750 contests then web design contest just about 130 contests.
        logo : webdesign -> 750 : 130 -> 5 : 1
        And don’t forget, we haven’t talk about the other categories like stationery, button/icon, t-shirt, banner, packaging, etc. You cannot make the system like that way.

          Twenty Nine, i did not say that 99designs should follow the exact numbers i gave. what i am suggesting is that the 10 prizes should be divided into the categories equally I am just giving an example. Cheers! :)

    “Each winner will receive $1,000 except for Sector Nine who will receive $2,000 for two winning designs!” !?
    Wasn`t the idea to giveaway 10000$ to 10 designers?

    @Jason Aiken – I have to say that it’s not fair and not a good idea. No appreciation to talented designers. It’s all about lucky. Why don’t you give the money to the designers that had a bunch of winning logos (e.g. each 10 winning or 20)?
    99designs’ profit is too much since the minimum prize was decreased. Last year it was $223, and now it’s $200. For example : the cost for Bronze Package is $295 then the award for the winner only $200??
    Please think about designer’s prosperity, especially for talented designers.

    Thanks!

      The drawing is only open to the winning designers – the more wins the greater the chance as you get an entry for each win.

      We are always doing special giveaways – special rewards and incentives for designers… this is not the first and it won’t be the last.

      As far as pricing – the minimum for logo has not changed. The only reason the $223 prize was more common last year is because we had a “Budget” option displayed which was slightly higher than the actual minimum – whereas we now display the minimum as the starting point.

      Cheers,
      Jason

        Hi Jason,

        Sorry it might be off topic, but I was wondering why some contest holders don’t know how much the actual prize money is. I have seen contests where the contest holder is under the impression that they have paid a huge amount and expecting good entries, but if you take the 99design fee out, the prize money isn’t that attractive for that project. My question is, don’t they get to know what’s the actual prize money is?

        Thanks
