$10,000 up for grabs

Can one already sign up, or not yet?

Hi Ivan,

Not yet, as we are still building the back end of the site that will allow you to do so, but if people go to the site, and click on the contact us page, and send me their info, I will personally send an alert to anyone who has given me their email address, once we launch and open the site to new members.

(and oh yeah, don't shoot me just yet, I know we need to proof the content on the site. building this has been a long process)

Hope we see you all soon!

Like the idea, been to the site and will sign up when it's open, but... What protection is there for creative ideas? What's to stop someone pinching something and using it themselves without paying?

There are probably a load of questions that you can answer quickly and easily, so perhaps an FAQ based on what you've already been asked, what you think people might ask, etc would be a good addition to the site.

Thanks Purple, the FAQ would be a great idea. To answer your question about protection of creative ideas (which is as important to us as it is to you) is that it works in this way.

In the membership agreement, we reccommend that you register your ideas in at least one, if not both of the following ways. If you first, email the concept, to yourself, that you are submitting to our site, it gives you a digital timestamp of when the idea was created. Second, by submitting the concept to our site, it is also registerd by a digital timestamp.

Moreover, because the client only sees the winning concepts, and not all of the submissions, we gaurantee that if your concept is used, you WILL be paid.

Thanks for your question, and I hope that I've answered it to your satisfaction. If not, get in touch and I'll go over it in more detail.

who gets to determine who wins the brief?

Hi Klaussnow,

once submission are collected, we have 3 creative directors rate the entries based on the creative brief, as well as the clients' judgement criteria (which you will be able to see before submitting your entry). The highest rated submissions will go on to the client. since we have different packages (3, 5, or 10 concepts) the client will see 3, 5 or 10 of the submissions. Everyone whos submissions are seen by the client, gets paid.

Hope that helps -

I can't wait for the site to open registrations :D. btw, this is not region-restricted or something, right? I'm not from the US or Western Europe.

We are excited to have you, Eugens. This will not be a region-restricted site at all. We want as many people to join as would want to. I do have to admit though, that unfortunately, we will be launching in english only, and as we grow, will then be able to have translation into Spanish, French, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and Italian. I would also like some recommendations on Arabic languages we should include, since I am not familiar with them at all.

whenever you need some recommendations on Arabic languages i am in
