You should upload at least 1 artwork that has never been promoted on Displate before. The more artworks you upload, the higher chances of winning.
What tags should I use to make the artwork qualified for the contest?
While adding tags to the artwork, you should use an additional tag. It helps us find it and make it qualified for the contest. Each contest has its unique tag that can be found in a blog post of each contest. Do not put this tag into the title, only as an additional tag next to other tags that describe your artwork.
What file format do you accept?
– Shortest side at least 2900px
I cannot upload my design when I click on…. What should I do?
If you have troubles with uploading your artwork, please double-check if it fulfills our technical specifications (previous question). If it doesn’t work, contact our Customer Service: [email protected]
My design was rejected. Why?
– The quality of the file was too small for printing (or was resized leaving the same pixel resolution thus making it pixelated)
– The work has already been uploaded on Displate
Is it ok to promote my works to people – on Facebook, Instagram, Deviantart etc?
Yes. We encourage every contestant to promote themselves and their designs to friends, family, and followers. Through our experience, we have found that more ratings help determine what the fans want. So please promote yourself!
