Choosa Home

Choosa is South America’s premiere crowdsourcing design contest marketplace. Getting a design created through Choosa is fast, easy and affordable. We help you launch a "design contest" where designers compete to submit custom designs that meet your exact requirements. You then choose the best design from all the entries. And, if you're not satisfied, you pay nothing!

If you are a Marketing Manager or Small Business Owner, get started by posting a design contest. This includes selecting a design product, completing a creative brief, registering your business and funding your contest.

If you are a designer, get started by registering for an account, scanning open jobs and creating/submitting design proposals for selected contests.

Go to the homepage, click "Register" at the top of the page, and complete and submit the registration form.

A Guaranteed contest assures that a winning design will be selected within 14 calendar days after the contest ends. A Non-Guaranteed contest allows up to 30 days for the Contest Holder to select a winning design, but does not require them to select a winner if they are unhappy with contest results and decide to exercise their right to a refund.

You can follow Choosa on Facebook, Google+, Youtube, LinkedIn, via our Twitter feed or by subscribing to our Newsletter.

Choosa charges a small commission to the winning designer.

Design submissions must be no larger than 1920 pixels in dimension, with a file size of less than 3 Mb.

To start following a contest, click on the “Add to Watch List” link at the bottom of any gallery. To stop following a contest, navigate to your base and click “Delete” next to the contest to stop following it.

Each designer can upload up to 10 proposals per contest. Once this limit is reached, the designer can choose to replace an existing submission and upload a new one. Note that designs must be removed within 2 hours of uploading, or a black space with the “Withdrawn” sign will appear.

You are free to withdraw your designs from any contest until that design is selected as a winning design and prize money is received.

You should report it using the “Abuse Report” link located at the bottom of each design.

Once the winning designer receives the prize money, the copyright for the design will automatically be transferred to the contest holder, who then owns all rights to the final design.

No. This is strictly forbidden and the design community and Choosa police this quite stringently.

Once your design is selected as the winner, you will need to upload the original files and designate payment methods as follows:

1. Log in to your account
2. Go to “My Contests”
3. Select the winning contest
4. Click the red “Go to the transaction page” link
5. Upload your design(s)
6. Designate the payment method and complete the required payment information

You have 10 calendar days from the contest end to upload the winning design file(s) in the specified format. Then, the Contest Holder has 10 calendar days from receipt of the winning design file(s) to confirm that they have received and accepted your files. Once confirmed, Choosa will initiate payment according to the designated method, guaranteeing payment within 8 calendar days.

You can request via Paypal or via International Bank Transfer.

To make a international transfer we will need your:

• Bank Name,
• Account Holder Name,
• Account Number,
• Account Type
• and Swift Code of the bank.

We’ll notify you when the transfer is complete.

You can keep up to date with new contests by registering for the Choosa Newsletter which provides you with updates of new contests. You can also simply visit the site daily to browse the new contests.

After a winner has been chosen, a message is automatically sent to all participating designers.

First upload your designs to your Portfolio on Choosa. Then add a link to your Portfolio to your own website to promote your reputation, profile and portfolio to potential customers.

Each package determines the award amount for designers, and higher awards will mean you get more designs from which to choose.

You are fully in control of the design process. Once you review the designs, you can provide individual or collective feedback to ensure you get the design you want. However, once the contest has ended and a winning design is selected, no further adjustments can be made by the designer unless you come to some agreement beforehand.

Choosa offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee if you are not completely satisfied. Simply let us know and we'll provide you with a refund.

Navigate to your contest’s Gallery, roll over the “thumbs up” and click on the desired rating. Click on the image to leave a more specific comment.

Yes, you can modify your Creative Brief within 24 hours of activation, but we do recommend that you update designers on any contest modifications by posting a comment on the Discussion board. If you need to modify/add information after the first 24 hours, please send an email to support@choosa.net.

Navigate to your contest’s Gallery, click on the design you like and click “Award Design” (note, this option will only appear after the contest has ended). The designer will receive a notification that their design was awarded and will then be required to upload the original design files in the specified format. Once the original has been uploaded, you will be asked to download and confirm the files so Choosa can start the payment transaction.

No. The option to select a winner only appears on contest designs once they have ended.

No. The contest prize money must be awarded to a single winner. If you then wish to buy other proposals you like, you can negotiate with the designer directly (Choosa will not take part in that arrangement).

14 days for a Guaranteed contest. 30 days for a Non-guaranteed contest.

If you fail to select a winning design within the allotted time, design staff at Choosa will pick a winning design based on your original feedback. If no feedback is provided during the course of the contest then a decision will be made based on standard design principles and the aesthetic preferences of the Choosa design team.

You can request a contract extension for a fair reason with at least 48 hours notice of contest end by emailing Choosa support. You must then notify all participants by posting a comment on the contest’s Discussion Board.

If you have launched a Non-Guaranteed contest, you have 30 calendar days to request a full refund (minus 10% of administrative fees) if you are not satisfied with the contest results. If you fail to select a winning design within 30 days, design staff at Choosa will pick a winning design based on your original feedback. If no feedback is provided during the course of the contest then a decision will be made based on standard design principles and the aesthetic preferences of the Choosa design team.

If you opt for a Guaranteed contest and fail to select a winning design within 14 calendar days, design staff at Choosa will pick a winning design.

Once the winning designer receives the prize money, the copyright for the design will automatically be transferred to the contest holder, who then owns all rights to the final design.

To communicate with all designers at once simply post a comment on the Discussion board found in your admin panel.

Yes and we encourage you to do so. We recommend that you review the designer profiles found under ¨Top Designers¨. You can then contact a designer by clicking on the “Send Message” link under their profile picture on their profile page.

We have tried to cover all of the products that you may want to get designed but if we have missed one then simply send an email to support@choosa.net and we’ll help you to get started.
