I entered my first Design Challenge just this week and am VERY disappointed. Several days into the contest and although I've had numerous people FAVORITE my design I have had ZERO votes registered even though I know I have had votes. My husband voted for my design, I saw him vote and yet nothing is showing in my dashboard for any votes. The only way to find me when searching is by ARTIST which doesn't allow for even gaining exposure by being in the contest. I consider myself a winner because I accomplished learning digital art and pattern design (software) on my new pen display tablet in 18 days and the contest entry was my motivation. I'm glad I learned the pitfalls of working with this company, sooner rather than later. I just got a Skillshare account to learn more, so I'll be looking into your class.
I partipated in about 8 Spoonflower challenges and I noticed a lot of the things you mentioned. I quickly realised I didn't have the time to do both challenges and work on improving my painting skills. I occasionally enter a challenge if I already have a design that may fit the theme, but no extra effort 😂
Soo…Darya, “the moral to the FB voting delimna” may be, that people are ruled by the LOWEST FACEBOOK COMMON DENOMINATOR: scrolling quickly, hardly thinking, clicking and moving on. The FB ‘world’ just isn’t conducive to a good/fair contest of anything, other than looking at many posts quickly! What more appropriate social media might attract more attentive audience for professional artists like you? (Try not to be overly concerned about users on FB. )

Are you for or against design challenges? What is your take on them and experience participating?
