Does anyone have any idea of the percentage of designers that actually have won contests and received the payout money on this site? In looking through the closed contests, I have noticed multiple contests where winners have not been picked. As the weeks pass, the contests just seems to go into limbo land. Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

Hello there,
Of course lots of designers here get paid for their wining designs, you can check this list with top rated designersTop Designers..I know i did!!
All the awards you find there were paid to designers, and 100s and 100s of designers who's not on this list also got paid many times for wining contests.
DC's contest are prepaid 100% of the time, that means you will get paid by DC if the CH chooses a winner, if they didn't ..we call it (abandoned) after 5th week of no contact, the contest prize money is then split between the highest rated designers & a share goes to (community contests) prizes..
of course that's after trying to contact the CH about it & encouraging them to monitor their projects.
Also there are some rare cases of CHs request a refund & in this case DC staff let designers know about it so they move on..
Yes, you can find some of these contests among others.. but they are not the common case here.. you can check again there's many many finalized contests with happy winners.. who get paid VERY fast too through the great staff of DC.
I hope i put it right & you got the idea
Regards,
Selma

Hi dlbonanno64!
I'm a designer and I have won contests, DC paid them all to me. In fact there was a contest which closed DC yet paid compensation to those who had the highest score. I can assure you that the payment is 100% reliable, at least for what has happened to me. But I understand your concern... In other German competitions page didn't pay me the logo I did and it came out winner!!

Hello guys...
I've something on my mind.. i've been following a blind contest and by the time it's closed two of my designs were rated by 100 and at the 1st and 2nd place the3rd place (belong to someone's design) was rated by 50s and the rests were not rated.. a week has passed and the CH hasn't picked the winner yet. the question is, is there any chances that i will win the contest?

Hi,
I had just won Sönmezoğlu yesterday morning when i wake up, uploaded source files, i got paid at the same day afternoon, this is the best CH I ever have, but not all the CH the same, some asking to do lot's of amendment, i'll do my best to do until they happy with it, that will needs longer time to have paid.
But i really have to say all DC peoples are very helpful, i love to do the contest very much here.

Designcontest is the best I can say when it comes to paying the winners. First, as you can see, Designcontest way of payment is better compare to others. DC got Western Union and more which the other sites don't have Not all the designer here has paypal account that is why don't worry, even you're in a hurry. DC is at your back always

Based on my first personal experience, DC's system works like a charm.
I won my first contest and also first one-on-one project and there were no problems in neither cases receiving the price amount. As payments are processed by Wednesdays, I received my money on my PayPal account already on Thursday morning.
Very quick and convenient service. Thumbs up!
