Over $4 Million Dollars Awarded to Designers
February 27, 2009
We are especially proud to announce today that 99designs has reached another great milestone…we have now awarded over $4 million dollars to our design community with millions more resulting from direct follow-on work.
Each and every day we continue to find ways to improve and grow our business through your suggestions over email, twitter and Uservoice. We know that to be a true crowdsourcing success story we need to provide a tremendous value to our clients and our design community. This $4 million dollar milestone is testament not only to those efforts but also to our clients and to the incredible design community at 99designs.
Thank you all for making 99designs the leader in crowdsourced design and for all the incredible support, feedback, and suggestions you’ve provided us.
Here’s to the next $4 million!
Cheers,
The 99designs Team

That’s a great milestone. Congratulations! One question – since 99designs doesn’t pay directly, how do you know how much money was actually paid?

GREAT, but there’s a statistic that count even the abandoned contests? I mean… $4 million has been paid, but how much dollars haven’t been paid?
(sorry for my english :P)

WOOWW…congrats 99designs for new record!! that’s fantastic!! :)

@99project: As Lachlan mentioned in another post, there is a 7 day delay before the credits are transferred. This affords the contest holder enough time to check they have received the correct files and ask any questions they may have. We will be adding a checkbox in the near future to allow the contest holder to confirm that the files are correct, which will immediately clear the credits. This should speed things up.
@Paul T., @Alice: You’re “cup half empty” kinda people, aren’t ya? ;-)
#everyone: Thanks for the kind comments!

I just wanted to say this site is such a great opportunity for designers. I have won 3 but even though there have been many I haven’t won, I still felt gratitude for the design. It helps me keep my designing fresh and helps me develop further as a designer. Thank you 99designs! You have developed a goldmine!!
Just a question…does it seem to anyone else that since the contests have become guaranteed, the CH’s are not giving as much feedback??? I’ve joined over 20 contest where there were absolutely no feedback? :) Maybe there could be something telling CH’s that they are paying and it is in their best interest to give feedback? I dunno…maybe it’s me :)
Love 99designs no matter! hehe :)
