Common questions
What sizes will I receive?
The sizes you ask for in the brief, within what your package includes. List the exact pixel dimensions your ad platform requires and designers will build to them.
Are animated or coded banners included?
No. Contests produce static, uncoded designs delivered as a layered PSD plus flat formats. An animator or developer can take the winning file and build the animated version.
How much does a banner contest cost?
Banner design packages start at $119, with the $49 listing fee included in the package price and the rest paid as the prize to the winning designer.
What makes a strong banner brief?
The offer, the single message, the call to action wording, the destination, and the platform sizes. Ad creative lives or dies on the offer, so put it in the brief rather than leaving designers to invent one.
Can I get extra sizes after the contest?
Yes. Additional designs are available at $100 each from the winning designer after you award.
How a banner ad design contest works
A banner design contest gets you static web banners and ad creative in the sizes you specify. Designers submit original layouts, you compare them before spending anything on media, and packages start at $119 with the $49 listing fee included.
Static designs, in your sizes
Entries are static and uncoded, delivered as a layered PSD plus flat formats. List the exact pixel dimensions your ad platform needs. If you want the winning design animated, an animator or developer can build that from the source file after you award.
The offer belongs in the brief
Ad creative performs on the strength of the offer and the call to action, so put both in the brief rather than leaving designers to invent them. Name the destination page too, since the banner and the landing page should look like the same campaign.
Files, rights and payment
On award you receive the layered source file plus JPG, PNG, TIFF, EPS and PDF, and full commercial rights transfer to you. Designers are paid the prize on the 1st and the 14th of each month via PayPal. Additional pieces are available at $100 each from the winning designer after the award.
Timing, upgrades and the guarantee
Award at any time while the contest is running: the 10 day window is the guaranteed period for entries, not a wait. A 48 Hour Rush speeds entries up, blind and private options limit who sees what, and extensions cost a small fee per day, free on Gold and Custom tiers and on Hatchwise Unlimited. If a contest runs in full, misses your package minimum and no winner is awarded, the money back guarantee applies within 14 days of the submission period ending.
