Designer Guidelines

The Cad Crowd Community strives to award good Designers by:

  • Providing challenging contests with lucrative cash prizes
  • Recognizing your hard work and rewarding it with higher rankings
  • Maintaining a professional and friendly community

What we expect from the Designer:

  • Mutual respect with all members of the Cad Crowd Community. Use tact when commenting and good judgment when voting.
  • Treat the buyer as your own customer and respect their decisions and requests.  Remember, they are the customer and even if they do not know anything about engineering and design, it is their needs that must be met.
  • Let your design speak for itself and do not try to influence buyer decisions by publicly criticizing others in an open forum. Pointing out general design issues while not pointing out a specific entry is acceptable as long as it is done is a respectful manner.
  • Do not use the forums to engage to engage in a grudge match. If you have an issue with another community member, use the private message system to engage them in a professional manner.
  • Trying to make private arrangements with buyers during a contest is strictly forbidden. You are allowed to offer addition services and interact with the buyer after you have won the design contest. 
  • You are not allowed to post any messages about any of the entries (yours or other designers) in the Contest Discussion Area.
  • If the design did not come from you, do not post the design.
