   99designs might not be happy with "invitation only contests" as they want everyone to be able to see how the site works. However, as Nadia said, there is considerable number of CHs who are worried about their privacy, as well as designers who are worried about concept copying.

   99designs may charge CHs more than 39 credits to start an invitation only contest and request that payment is guaranteed.

   I think that you would also see a lower level of concept copying in these types of contests which can only be a good thing. "Concept copying" is getting way out of hand at the moment, with more designers (beginners in particular, but designers that should know better also) feeling justified to 'take' someone elses' design elements just because the contest holder liked them in another entry.

   I would give more votes to this, but ran out of numbers :-)

   I highly agree with this one. Private contests with guaranteed prize money and designers by invitation only, may entice new contest holders to 99designs, particularly those that guard their privacy and don't want the world to know they are having a design outsourced. (Mr T said it much better than I did though :-)

   I would be more interested and thrilled by private contests where contest holders can restrict the view and participation to only "invited" designers. We work in highly competitive markets where Einstein's mantra "Creativity is knowing how to hide your resources" is the ultimate business survival rule.
