No, you should not email your winning entry to the contest holder. This is for your protection.
To be able to receive the prize money, you must legally transfer the ownership of your entry file/s to the contest holder by completing the Contest Handover. This is the only way the prize money will be released to you, and it is easy to complete.
Freelancers, we recommend trying to accommodate minor revisions requested by the contest holder, but anything else is up to you.
Here's how the Contest Handover works:
-
The contest holder and winner should sign the IP Transfer Agreement.
-
The winner uploads the files and submits them on the Contest Handover page.
-
The contest holder has 14 days to download, review, and accept the files.
-
The prize money is released to the winner once the contest holder accepts the files.
Note: If the contest holder does not review the files within 14 days of them being uploaded, the prize money will be automatically released to the winner. To know more, please check here.
To sign the IP Transfer Agreement, follow these steps:
-
Go to the Contest Handover page.
-
Carefully review your details.
-
Check the box beside "I agree to sign the IP Transfer Agreement for the winning entry."
-
Click Sign Contract.
The contest description on the contest page specifies the file types that need to be provided. The contest holder may also request for different specifications on the winning files, so we recommend checking the Contest Handover page from time to time.

Design contests - JPEG, GIF, and JPG (Animated GIFs are not supported)
