the contest process

Posted by useabrand.com Administrator on April 29, 2011

how often will a winner be chosen?
once a month a winner as well as runner-up and third-place in each category- mens and ladieswear- will be chosen. the winners will be immediately automatically contacted. as soon as the winners are acknowledged, the voting process begins anew.

my entry had a lot of votes and
all of sudden they were gone!
as soon as a new voting month has begun, all entries are set at zero votes´. this is done in order to assure that all entries have the same chance at winning, incuding entries that have just been uploaded.

i am unable to vote.
you can only vote once you are registered and logged in. guests are not allowed to vote. it is also against the rules to manipulate the competition by using multiple usernames to vote more than once. if we recognize this sort of behaviour, the design will be taken out of the contest.

why has my username been blocked?
the use of derogatory language, destructive online behaviour or attempting to cheat the voting system can cause your username to be blocked.

what do i get as winner?
your wining design/s will be produced and in sold online and in our store. for every item of your design sold, you will receive €5 on your useabrand account. your account balance can either be used to purchase usebrand merchandise or cashed-in on a biyearly (every six months) basis.

what do i get for winning 2nd or 3rd place?
you will receive a useabrand gift certificate for €100 or €50, respectively. the gift certificate will automatically be added to your useabrand account and does not expire until you have used it towards the purchase of useabrand merchandise either at our online or street side shops. participants finishing on the 4th down to the 10th place will receive a €20 voucher.
