Originality and copyright, tips for clients
To ensure you select an original design, we have set clear rules. The use of stock material is prohibited, as well as copying previously submitted designs.
We work hard every day to make sure these rules are respected. As a client, you can also play a role:
Follow the contest closely. This way, you can see which designers are submitting truly original designs.
Participants can file a complaint for each submission. We will review the complaint. Sometimes designers may point out possible copyright violations or the use of stock material: always contact our customer service in such cases. We will take appropriate action if the complaint is valid, but we also aim to prevent false accusations.
Want to check if no stock material has been used? As a client, you can use reverse image search to see if the image can be found elsewhere on the web: use Google Images (click on the photo icon: search by image), or services like TinEye.
