Designer Protection
99designs should protect designers better, by at the very least not allowing other designers to read feedback on your own designs. It's a tad unfair when you have "half a good logo" that needs tweaked, then someone takes the good half, and tweaks the other half and wins while you are ou... more

Force CHs to at least mark a design as "seen"
In order to not treat designers unfairly or leave them in the dark a fair system must exist that forces CHs to at least look at the designs, give stars or comments. It has happened that designers have done work and entered late, but within the timeframe and a winner had been selected. This is unf... more

Have Logos For Sale
I think it would be cool if we could submit logos ideas that were never selected, and put them up for sale.
Say you have a logo that was thought to be very well designed, but it was never chosen, you could put it in some sort of sale area and mark your preferred price. Sort of like an ebay for l... more

Should have a friend list
Maybe we can have a friend list in our message sections and should be able to add any designer as a friend or some thing.

Feedback on contest holder planned
Same principle as on ebay, where you can leave feedback on a seller's reliability.
Would be nice to review how a contest holder has done in the past, considering feedback and payment etc. -

Remove "won" Contests From "Find a Contest"
On the "Find a Design Contest" page, it shows time left for contests that have already been won implying there is still time to enter it.

Display if an entry has received feedback next to rating
on the contest page, you can see the entries rating before clicking on it, but you have no idea on whether or not it has received feedback like you used to. some CH's dont like to leave stars, so it makes it hard to browse around

Add the ability to invite designers to contests planned
If you have seen great designers and you like there style, it would be good to invite them to create a design for your contest. You may then get a design which is closer to what you are looking for and in a style you admire.
This one is on the cards.

Ensure timely declaration from CH
I think there need to be a system in place that ensures a contest holder has a set time period after the end of the contest (such as 2 days), after which he MUST declare if he is going to select a winner or not. This would put an end to CH's leaving designers in the dark for up to 5 days after a ... more

Add a marketplace of designs not chosen
Why not give designers the ability to post designs they created but did not get picked and open a whole new marketplace for design work? Give designers the ability to upload the files and set a price - 99designs can take a cut and everyone is happy. As a CH, sometimes we pet projects, or there ar... more

Allow Contest Holders To Attach Files planned
For example if a company wants a business card and they already have a logo they would like on it, the contest holder can include the file instead of linking to it.

"Read Brief" opens on same page as main contest's page. planned
This isn't a really big thing , but what if the "Read Brief" will just collapse/ expand when you click it? No need to load a new page?
P.S. or is there a setting for this already but I haven't noticed it?

Confirmed Payment started
With the new health system the "holder has awarded x contests" maybe more in depth feedback for the contest holder, like eBay where the winning designer can confirm that they have been paid
Yup, that will come with enhancements to the guaranteed contests and prepaid contests system. Based on the users we have surveyed, it's actually pretty rare to not get paid if you have been declared a winner.

Three strikes rule for contest holders
I think CH who have abandoned and unhealhty contests should be given three chances afterwhich they will be banned from the site. I participated in a water contest recently and the guy seems to have done a runner (his other contest is alos the same)

Add ability to favorite or bookmark a designer
After reading the recent article about designabot on sitepoint, I wanted to make sure I remembered his username. I went to his portfolio, but there's no way for the CH to "bookmark" or "favorite" a designer so they can later invite the designer to a contest.

Make CH's specify explicitly if they want coding
I know that "There are officially no coded contests on 99designs" – but who cares about official, if there are still plenty of CH's who speak like: "We want a website that..."
Every time I read something like this, I can't figure out whether they want just a PSD or they want a... more -
