Wow! First off thank you everyone for making the first DesignChef competition a huge success. The 1300+ submissions that we have received even exceeded our wildest expectations.
Submissions will be closed on August 1st at 11:59pm. The winners will be announced by August 5th at midnight. We already know that there are many deserving winners and that the choice of the actual winner will be extremely difficult to determine. We will send out an announcement of the winners as an email to all the entrants, as well as make a post on this blog.
We plan on holding regular competitions in the future, but we will need some time to implement the new design and user experience, please bear with us for a few weeks until we can get the site up and running again.
We would like everyone to help us make the site better by answering a few questions:
- What types of competitions would you like to see in the future?
- Do you have any recommendations in terms of who should be on the judging panel?
- Should we be giving away cash or prizes?
- Any other feedback that we can use to improve the site?
Please let us know in the comments below or feel free to email us at feedback@designchef.com. Thank you all again, stay tuned for an update on winners.
Cheers,
The Chef

Hi
I came to know about this competition the day before and started working on it. So i’m very much interested in sending my entry. A lot of thoughts have gone into this and want to give it a try. So i request you to postpone this for atleast a day. Hope u understand and give me a chance.
Thanks & Regards

we would lie to see more design oriented competitions which are theme specific esp related to causes in the world i think th ejudges panel has to be from the design industry maybe graphic designers and ad designers .also architects would do u should be giving away cash for the obvious reasons that it can be used the way the winner wants
Hi,
I really like what u guys are doing, n how u get ur work done…would like more design contest held, could be anything like a backdrop design or a invite t-shirt anything related to design…i just love contests….
@SpaceVoid My apologies but it wouldn’t be fair to the other participants to extend the deadline. We will have additional competitions in the future that we hope you can participate in.
Cheers,
