Why should I report a contest?

By reporting contests, you help us keep 99designs a great community for designers and contest holders alike. Please report any contests you see that fall into any of the following categories:

  • Inappropriate Content

    If an inappropriate contest is posted, please let us know as soon as possible so we can deal with it.

    We have a list of what we consider inappropriate but in a nutshell, if you think anyone would find it offensive, please report it.

  • Incorrect Category

    Sometimes contest holders need a little help knowing where their contest fits. Please let us know when a contest holder has got it wrong and we’ll fix it up.

  • More Than One Design Task in a Contest

    This is not allowed, even if some designers are keen. Please report these contests and we’ll work with the contest holder to get the best possible result.

  • Asking for Services We Don’t Provide

    If you see any contests asking for services we don’t provide — even if some designers are willing to provide them (such as a web design contest asking for development work) — please report them.

  • Unusual or Suspicious Activity

    If anything about a contest strikes you as a little odd – let us know. It may be something in the brief, or a comment on the contest, or maybe there’s something not right about the selected winner. Whatever it is, we have a team of sleuths to get to the bottom of it.

Always remember that posting comments about any of these problems are likely to lead to damaged reputations and refunded contests.
