It has been a tremendous year for Freelancer Contests. We thought one great way to end 2015 is to look back on all the competitions we ran this year.
Design Contests
Before Game of Thrones Season 5 premiered in April, we asked our users to illustrate a scene or a character they were looking forward to the most that season. We received a total of 201 entries, but this one from diegonavarrete won the throne.
We also had contests for logos and chat stickers:
Design a logo for the StartCon conference (4,046 entries received). Winning entry from anggeet:
Design Silicon Valley/Tech Logos themed for Halloween (35 entries received). Winning entry from vigszabolcs:
Design stickers for Freelancer Chat (34 entries received). Winning entry from dighie31:
Our last design contest for the year was the MOVEmber pet design challenge where participants edited the images of their pets (or stock photos of pets they downloaded) with mustache and workout gear. The dog in this winning entry by Oskars89 rocked the best mo’ in the competition.
3D Design Contests
If you ask us what the coolest contest we did this year is, we would definitely say that the Apple Car design contest is the runaway winner. This awesome concept done by menithings looks like the real deal.
Speaking of awesome, we also did a James Bond contest where we asked our users to design a gadget they would want to see in Spectre or in the future movies of the franchise. This design for Short Impact Booster Shoes by albertusjanuardy is the ultimate gadget for us.
We know there’s a lot of talented 3D designers in our platform so when we needed a design for the Freelancer bar, we posted a contest and picked this design done by zeldom as the winner.
And oh, we posted a second contest in search of a design with more zest. We chose this concept submitted by DEADPOOL:
Photo and Video Contests
In our first contest this year, we asked our users to submit their own photos and tell us how Freelancer has changed their lives. See what aesier32 shared in his winning entry.
The Expose Our Logo contest had a huge comeback this year. Click the image below to watch judsonbc’s winning entry.
Text Contest
Do you still remember when we crowdsourced Matt Barrie’s 5-word speech for the Webby’s this year? This entry from daniyalparveez95 got the most nods:
Partnered Contests
In May, we held two contests in partnership with Challengers, a closed-door startup event in Barcelona, Spain. We ran two logo design contests, one for the main logo of the event and another one for the four verticals of the event.
The most epic thing that happened in the platform this 2015? It’s our partnership with NASA! Read more about this phenomenal partnership here and see the challenges in this page.
2015 is indeed an astounding year for us and it wouldn’t be as huge and as special as it is if not for all of you who joined our contests. Thank you and see you next year!
Got a brilliant idea you want to crowdsource? Post a contest now!
