About

Simply start a contest, pick your prize amount, and relax while dozens of design options are created by talented designers, especially for you, in just hours, instead of weeks. You'll have the opportunity to score and comment on each one or eliminate any that aren't what you're looking for. Evaluating entries and communicating with designers helps you to get exactly the design you're looking for. Designer will prepare the source files and sign design's copyrights transfer document to you. Our platform also allows you to set 3 prizes, to attract even more designers to your contest. You will get the source files and the copyrights transferred for all three designs. Once you are happy with the downloaded files and the Copyrights Transfer Document, the prize award will be released to the designer — we handle it all.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Zealous has no competitors for our uses--accepting, managing submissions, shortlisting and judging for our Writer's Award. In terms of flexibility, price and accommodating us, they win hands down. Duosoma can't accommodate our data collection needs and Submittable is far too expensive. We've had around 5,000 service users submit through it and very rarely hear about people having any problems with it or complaints.
  • Support was available whenever needed although the site is very intuitive to use. There is flexibility in how you set up each opportunity and what you want to be automated, or not. The data remains ours and was easy to access. The judges found it easy to use and the ability to set up category tags and then filter saved a lot of time with final judging, allowing similar photos to be viewed together. We had very little negative feedback on the user experience, which is no mean feat for an international competition with a mix of ages and abilities. It was affordable for what we needed, as a charity this is really important.
  • The judges found the selection process really straight forward and lots of the work was automated (like sending emails out to candidates that were not progressing on), that was really helpful. Our Account Manager Diana was brilliant and spent lots of time with us on teams and email answering all our questions.
  • -very simple to use either uploading applications, scoring and judging -great communication from the get go -very reasonably priced -easy to contact team with any issues -comprehensive FAQ and website guide -great working system
  • - Ease of use - Time saved over competitor products - Excellent support via email, live chat and video call - Value for money

Cons

  • We do find loading submitted documents is slower than we'd like. The white-on-black design is sometimes hard on the eyes. The other portal we've considered offers the option of fee-free submissions, with no subscription fee, charging us only a percentage of donations made (which would beat Zealous on price). However, there's a basic question format they can't accommodate, so we're sticking with Zealous!
  • As we moved from a previous platform it will take time to build a new audience. There was a server issue on judging day but this has now been resolved so I'm reassured can't happen again. I was impressed with the support and communication when it did go wrong though, things can always be resolved whilst there are open lines of communication. As an already established competition there are certain features we would like but I couldn't find any platform that offered all we needed and Zealous did provide some work arounds. The set-up took a while but this is because it's new to us and we have lots of intricacies in the stages of our competition but now we have done it, it's great that we will be able to copy the existing set up for next time.
  • Sometimes the site could be a bit slow.
  • -small amount of lagging due to number of submissions -when uploading multiple submissions through one account, it autofills with the previous answers. Not ideal when manually submitting answers from multiple applicants
  • None, any issues we had were swiftly overcome by the support team.
