Create a "Design Contest" Section

    Hello,

    There should be a section in the marketplace dedicated to design contests. Over the last fews days the ammount of contests has increased and to avoid future contests from being randomly posted throughout the marketplace or Graphics & Multimedia. Having a dedicated category will also encourage users to create new contests and to get involved with the DP community.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

    Yes, I have noticed that also.
    But if they all stick in the template section, it should be okay.

    See one in another forum, just click the red triangle and asked to have it moved to templates.

    Maybe make this idea a sub section of templates would be great.

    But not all contests are for templates, that's the main problem, some people want headers or logos so they stick it in the Services section. And the threads get mixed up with posts about manual submissions to directories.

    It's technically still a form of trade though... Not sure there are enough to warrant its own section, how many are there over the last 90 days?

    Not many contests have been conducted but those which are spread in Graphics, Servies etc.

    it would be better if all are conducted in Templates section or as Daniel said, a seperate section is necessary :)

    Hello,

    I was running one of those contests myself recently and got the same idea as danielbruzal. I think it would be cool to have a more general "Contests" section though, rather than "Design contests". Cuz, there might be many types of contests like "SEO contest" for instance.

    Regards,

    I think it would be a good idea for a subforum for contests so it would be a lot more organized and maybe a template could be made up for contests and everything would run a lot more smoothly. It would also promote contests to be made more often.
