Freelancer.com promotes good design with 12 new contest categories!

More than 600,000 registered designers have descended on
Freelancer.com to participate in our design contests of which there
are now 12 categories!

It's an amazing show of support, skill and serious talent, and with
commissions as low as 3%, Freelancer.com is now the most lucrative
marketplace for designers to make money on the Internet!

You can now get anything you need designed including Logos, Banner
Ads, Print and Packaging, Stationery, Flyers, Brochures, Websites,
T-shirts, Icons/Buttons, Business Cards, Illustrations and Apps.

The results of recently completed contests have been nothing short of
phenomenal for designers and contest holders alike!

Here's just some of the feedback we've received so far from very
satisfied contest holders:


Contest holder: 1stFive

This was our first time using Freelancer.com and we received 465
entries for just NZ$350!

We chose a contest believing the designers would show greater research
and innovation and that's exactly what happened.

With entrants from many countries, we received more interpretations
and themes than we would get from just one designer and, by telling
them what we liked and what could be improved, our winning logo was
exactly what we wanted!

Contest holder: Hoop Jumped

Hoop Jumped is an online business for mentoring training products and
services. We received 158 entries for AU$290 and our contest
experience was first class!

By giving feedback to every designer I identified our eventual winner,
although it was a tough decision. Our finished logo is fun and appeals
to men and women and the designer even mocked up a website to show us
how the logo would look on it!

For choice, speed and quality we definitely recommend using a contest!

Contest holder: Product Online:

We provide product information to the electrical retail industry and
wanted a new logo to complement a new range of services.

Our contest received 216 entries for just AU$290 and we were able to
combine the best ideas from several designers to get the winning logo,
which complements our new website perfectly.

It's easy to recognise and can be used across the site in favicons,
Twitter images and brochures to communicate that we're abreast of the
constant changes in our industry.
