How do designer star ratings work?

Modified on Fri, 20 Sep, 2019 at 12:13 AM

As a designer, your average star rating represents the quality of your work. During a contest, customers are asked to rate the quality of each design submission received from 1 to 5 stars. With a 1 star rating indicating poor quality up to the highest rating of 5 stars.

Please note it goes against our Code of Conduct to pressure customers into giving a high star rating or removing a low star rating.

DesignCrowd tracks your star rating for each project type to give you an average quality score for a project type or category (e.g., logo design). The current benchmark is 2.5 average star rating for any project type. If your submission does not receive a rating, it's not counted towards your score. If your average star rating for logo design falls below 2.5 stars at the time of submission, we will temporarily hold back your submission from the customer's view. This only applies to projects that have recently launched.

A low star rating also means you'll be ineligible to submit to mini contests, which are restricted to five designers with star ratings of 2.5 or higher.

You can view your current star ratings for your 'Top Product' in the stats section at the top of the overview page in your Designer Account.
