question-answered What Happened To Design Contests?

[JB Lions]

Had a logo done in the past, section used to be pretty active. Wanted to get another logo done soon but it looks like that section died. What happened?

Last one I see is May 2022, before that May 2021. So you only had 1 in almost 2 years?

Then another page I just see 1, mine - https://www.namepros.com/forums/design-contests.92/

Then from this page - https://www.namepros.com/categories/marketplace.243/

I see one with a date of

• Dec 26, 2022

Dec 26, 2022

But when I click the link it vanishes.

I scroll up to this page - https://www.namepros.com/forums/private-design-contests.318/

It's completely blank because I guess it's private.

Hello,

You may have been trying to get to these pages where the closed listings are shown:

There have been several contests in the past two years, but unfortunately, that section isn’t what it used to be.

It’s possible that the paid advertisements in that section have taken a lot of its activity over the years because those ads were for specialized websites offering design contests.

That’s just a guess, though.

Services like OpenAI’s DALL·E may affect it even more in the future.

You are saying the forum becomes trash….
