Sounds like it's supposed to be sized for a website. Is there an ideal pixel size for the main image (knowing there may be thumbnails made)? Filesize restrictions? The possibility of Flash enhancements?

I just wonder wheter awards will be delivered even if you decide not to move forward with any of the artwork or not? Or it is just a free pitching in the name of competition, just like the other contest?

I have my creation at my profile in Flickr how can i send to yours?

So the DW Logo I see on Flickr is the official logo u guys are working with?

Is it possible for the answer to the "Submit" question to be posted here?

You ONLY submit to Flickr, as stated in the "Guidelines".
Thanks

Is it possible for us to get LARGE pictures of JUST the necklaces, not being worn by people? i thought it might be good to incorporate the acctually necklace into my graphic...

What was the answer to the size question?

Also, if the client likes an idea, but would want it edited a bit, is there protection for the artists here to prevent the idea from being stolen and developed by someone else for the client? (the lack of response to the "is this real" question is unnerving as a newbie here).

Don't worry about size, there are MANY possibilities as to what this will be used for so the size will need to be adjusted based upon what graphic is chosen for what project. We connect the creator to the client, so yes you are protected in that the client does not get the "work" until the creator sends it to them (which can be done after payment).

is there an email address to submit our completed projects to?

i havent done this before...are the photos on flickr free for us to use on creating the ad?

Thank you for your response.

So, if you connect us with the client, am I correct in thinking that it is the concept that is most important as minor edits would be possible?

No email, just add to flickr. You may use the photos uploaded by GeniusRocket, not the photos uploaded by other users. The concept IS the most important part.
Thanks!

anyone know how i upload my submission on flickr?

anyone know how i upload my submission on flickr? I dont see where I do that

For the quick response Drew!

Create Flickr account and/or log into Flickr, Once you have an account it will ask you if you want to upload any pictures. Upload your graphic design.

After it's loaded onto your account, join the Diana Warner Studio group.

Next go to 'Organize', then click 'Groups', drag your uploaded graphic design and drop it into the Diana Warner Studio.

I hope that helps. :)

will we need to create an account on Flickr's site to submit our entry?

See the response right above your question, it answers specifically what you asked.
Thanks

I was under the impression that the brief is requesting a graphic more along the logo side rather than a piece of marketing collateral. Most of the submissions look like full advertisements (even those submitted after the Marketing Objective update). Is the objective a fully composed layout or more along the lines of a graphical piece of art that could be added to a marketing piece? Thanks for your help!

Are you going to list the winners of the contest on your home page

Once selections are made we will detail them in our Blog.
Thanks!

Hello, but where is the blog we do to to see the winners? On Flickr or Genius Rocket. I dont know where to look for the winners. Thank you, Maggie

The blog is on GeniusRocket, and will show up in the top right-hand corner of the homepage, and in the right column of most pages on our site.

On the Diana Warner site, the section of News & Events, the entire month of June until mid-July seems rather busy. She has several trunk shows and a bridal selection launch. Not to mention her offices were closed from June 3rd through the 6th.

I hope this explains the delay to all the eager contestants (as well as myself). Right now it seems unclear but all I know is she's preoccupied.

But keep your fingers crossed and good luck!

Her schedule is a major reason for the delay, much of it is also that the clients are allowed time to make their decisions (and many of the questions about the selection began the day the RFB ended.) Going forward we are going to try and keep the selection process to two weeks, but that will depend much on the client's schedule and the number of submissions. (There were MANY submissions to this RFB).
Thanks!
