How It Works

You can run all sorts of creative projects on Hatchwise, from company names to logos and more. Our innovative crowdsourced creative process is simple and straightforward. Just tell us what you want, decide how much you want to pay, review dozens of creative entries and then select the one you love best as the winner.
STEP 1

Tell us what you need

Once you've decided what type of contest you want to run you just fill out our simple creative brief, decide what your budget is, how long you want your contest to run for, then launch your contest.

STEP 2

Receive dozens of custom entries

Our community of creatives will then create unique, custom creative entries just for you!

STEP 3

Provide feedback as entries come in

Rate and review the entries as they come rolling in. You can request as many changes as you wish, and while the creatives are not required to make revisions to their entries they are generally more than happy to do so.

Providing feedback also informs the direction that new entries take as the creatives fine tune their submissions until you find the one you love!

STEP 4

Choose your favorite

Once you've found the perfect entry, you simply select it as the winner and award the creative who entered it into your contest your contest prize amount.

STEP 5

Common questions

We have pricing for all budgets, higher priced packages come with a larger prize for the winning designer, which typically results in higher participation by more skilled creatives. View the pricing for all types of contests here.

Contests run for ten days, during which time you will receive entries and can request revisions. If you need work done more quickly our rush upgrade gets you results in 48 hours and usually results in more entries than a comparable 10 day contest. You can always extend your contest once it ends if you want to see more entries or want to request changes to an existing entry.​

You can run any type of design or naming contest on Hatchwise, if we do not have a specific category for your design contest please use the Custom Graphic Design category. We do not allow contests that contain any of the following: anything that may be: construed as obscene, pornographic, illegal or offensive in any way.
 Yes! You can award a winner whenever you want.
You get one (1) completed entry per contest. If you need different versions of the completed entry (black and white, different tag lines etc…) you can hire the winning creative to do it after the contest is over (you get their contact details with the completed entry). If you need a entry designed for more than one company, or need more than one entry for the same company you would need to run more than one contest. Creatives have the option when submitting their entry to your contest to allow you to buy their entry once you have awarded a first place winner.

Additional designs cost $100 each if available after your contest ends.

All of the designs that you do not award or purchase remain the sole property of the submitting creative(s).
