What you get in a design contest:
Our brief makes it easy to describe what you’re looking for, from style to specs.
Our tried-and-true process means you’ll get a stunning illustration you won’t find anywhere else. No templates. No apps. Just super-talented freelance creatives making design magic.
We’ve got a 4.8/5 star rating from 37,560 customer reviews. That means you’re in good hands.
Vetted freelance designers will see your brief and create dozens of concepts just for you.
Get an illustration you love or 100% of your money back. It’s that simple.
We’ve got two rad ways of working on 99designs. If a contest isn’t for you, review our designer portfolios and start a 1-to-1 project with a freelance creative whose style is absolutely perfect for your brand.
Everything required for production will be provided. Your illustration will be delivered in the appropriate formats tailored to your specifications. This typically includes a production-ready Adobe Illustrator file, Adobe Photoshop file, PDF file, or EPS file.
To ensure accessibility, web preview files in PNG or JPEG formats will also be included, as not everyone may have the necessary design programs (though your printer will).
Additionally, you will receive full legal copyright, ensuring complete ownership of the design.
In a design contest, illustrators from around the globe submit unique concepts based on your brief. You select finalists, provide feedback to refine the designs, and ultimately choose your favorite graphic illustration as the winner. If exploring diverse design styles and generating ideas is important to you, we recommend a design contest.
However, if you have a clear vision for your illustration’s style and direction, or if your project is more intricate (like creating a full book of custom illustrations), starting a project with a freelance artist would be more suitable.
Lots of ideas! For inspiration, explore ideahits to discover fantastic examples of illustrations crafted by our design community.
Be as detailed as possible. Include color preferences, character descriptions, data, themes, dimensions, examples of other art you admire, printing specifications, and any other details that will impact your design.
Providing comprehensive information helps designers create the perfect illustration for you.
Yes, if you have any specific images such as a logo or a photo that should be incorporated into your illustration, please include them when submitting your brief to designers
Your custom illustration contest includes one winning illustration. If you need a second piece or an additional size, you have a couple of options: you can run another contest, or you can initiate a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer to develop the additional assets.
Absolutely (and we love it when that happens)! Once your illustration contest has concluded, you can begin a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer.
We provide a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days of payment on all Illustration Contests, except those with a guaranteed prize and those in the Final Round. You can also contact us anytime for assistance in revising your brief, reopening your project to ensure a satisfactory outcome, and selecting a winning design. Please note that if we refund your contest, you are not legally entitled to use any of the designs submitted.
We guarantee that you’ll receive a great illustration at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages provide more design options and enhanced support.
Here’s how it works: When you invest more, the prize for the winning designer increases as well. This attracts more experienced designers to participate in your contest, resulting in a wider selection of high-quality designs. With more options available, additional time may be needed to review all designs thoroughly. That’s why our Gold and Platinum packages include dedicated managers who streamline the process by crafting creative briefs and offering feedback to your designers.
When choosing your illustration contest package, consider the time you have available and your experience in writing briefs and collaborating with designers. If you need assistance, feel free to contact us for a design consultation.
It’s simple! Once you’ve selected a winning T-shirt design, you’ll receive ready-to-print files.
For your printing needs, we recommend VistaPrint — surprising, right? They’ve printed billions of business cards (literally), offering fast and reliable service. Of course, if you prefer to use your own trusted printer, you’re welcome to do so as well!
Select “Make your contest private” from the Contest options section before launching your illustration art contest. This ensures that designers cannot use their designs elsewhere, and your contest will not be searchable on the web.
By choosing this option, a standard NDA template will be automatically attached to your contest. Alternatively, you can upload your own NDA if you prefer.
