I think you get a minimum of 30 or so designs and [my mentor] said, “I ended up getting about 150” so I thought, well that's nice and you know, we like options. The more options the better. So, I enjoyed that part of it and I also didn't feel like it was too pricey —I felt like it was fair.

Common questions
What makes a tagline contest work?
A brief with one clear idea. Say what the brand does, who it is for, the tone, and any claim you must avoid. Writers then compete on the line rather than guessing at the strategy.
How much does a tagline contest cost?
Tagline contests start at $99. The $49 listing fee is included in the package price, and the rest is the prize paid to the winning writer.
Should I run a tagline or a slogan contest?
Choose tagline for the permanent line beside your logo, and slogan for a campaign or product line. Both run the same way at the same starting price.
Can the tagline be used in a logo lockup?
Yes. Rights transfer to you on award, so you can hand the line to a designer, or brief a logo contest that includes it.
How many entries will I receive?
There is no cap. A specific brief on an entry level package typically returns dozens of lines, and a larger prize brings in more writers.
How a tagline contest works
A tagline contest is for the permanent line beside your logo. Copywriters pitch against one brief, you shortlist and comment as entries arrive, and you award the line you want. Packages start at $99 with the $49 listing fee included, and full rights transfer on award.
What you receive
The winning entry is delivered as text, and full rights to it transfer to you when you award. The package price includes the $49 listing fee and the prize for the writer, and there is no cap on how many entries your contest can attract.
One idea per brief
The strongest taglines carry a single thought. Decide what that thought is before you launch, then let writers compete on how to say it. Briefs that list five equally important messages return lines that say nothing, whichever writer produced them.
Briefing writers properly
Say what the business or product does, who it is for, the feeling you want, the length you prefer, and any words that are off limits. Add two or three names you like and say why. Writers work fast against a specific brief and vaguely against a vague one.
Availability and trademarks
Entrants often suggest an available domain alongside a name, but Hatchwise does not carry out trademark clearance. Run your own domain search and a trademark check with a qualified professional before you commit money to signage, packaging or advertising.
Timing and guarantees
Award at any time while the contest is running. The 10 day submission window is the guaranteed period for entries to arrive, and extensions after that 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 you award nobody, the money back guarantee applies within 14 days of the submission period ending.
