NEW Invisible entries in competitions

Hi Folks

We’re gonna make another small but significant change to Competitions – we hope for the better.

First for some background. We’ve had some complaints from designers about plagiarism. Some of you have mentioned various solutions and we’ve been asked advice about who is right in a few cases.

We don’t really want to play judge and executioner here – so we’ve listened and come up with a compromise solution we hope everyone likes.

Someone suggested hiding all competition entries until the close date so that no one can copy another design. I argued that for the competition owner this resulted in poorer entries because the reality is that all designs are derived from many things including other designs. Hiding entries removes the ability for all designs to evolve a concept from one or a few.

So the compromise is this. You decide.

You will now be able to elect to have your competition entries visible or not by other users (Default is visible). You do this by checking or unchecking the “Viewable before close” checkbox.

If you elect to hide your entry – users will simply see the hidden image graphic above – until the competition close date. At close date all entries will be revealed (unless it’s a Private Competition).

Competition Owners will still see all entries – and can comment and vote on them to give feedback. You can elect to turn visibility on or off at any time during the competition.

I hope many of you elect to leave entries visible – as it makes the competitions more interesting and I believe delivers better results. Then again there will probably be a few surprises at the close.

Visible or Not – that is the question. It really is up to you.

This change is now sitting on the dev server waiting to be rolled into production – probably Monday – thanks Steve.

Not sure how many people will use it or not, any thoughts?

I'm still debating on whether I'll use it or not. I already asked a question about points. It's in the comments section through the link that Toon has posted.

just posted a comment with my concern about if you choose to leave it visible someone can still just copy it and submit theirs as invisible, which is even worse in my opinion...

It's true, but, how will we know if an invisible entry is lifted from another source; someone's online portfolio, or another company, for example?

At least visible we not only protect designers, but the client as well, not to mention the integrity of the forum.

If it's not unique enough, don't post. And if you do, I believe the easiest solution would be to remove entries that are too close in nature to existing submissions.

What a fiasco when the contest holder selects a logo and then all the logos become visible and we find lifted logos......I don't think it will deter copying.

I'm cringing, but will see what happens........

Personally, I opt to be visible.

Satanic.....that was the question I mentioned just above your post. I asked that on the thread but I'm not sure what the answer is.
