- Scroll through each page of entries to vote for your favorites. Also, we’ll remember your spot should you wish to come back to review more designs later. Simply return to review more designs any time before voting closes.
- Once you are done, click the Submit My Votes Now button at the bottom of the page.
Finding Your Entry
To ensure fairness, design challenge entries are randomized to display differently each time the voting page is loaded. People often reach out saying they can't find their design on the voting page. First, confirm the design was entered on the My Design Challenges page. If your design is set as public and is displayed as entered on the My Design Challenges page, then it has been entered in the challenge. Be sure to use the arrows at the bottom of the voting page to scroll through all of the entry pages, as there are typically multiple pages for each challenge.
If you do not locate your design in this way, please check your email (and spam) for any communication regarding your entry. If no messages are found, please contact us.
Design Challenge Results
After the voting window for a design challenge closes, votes are tabulated and a ranked list of all entries is published on the Design Challenge page. From this page you will find links to the results for every challenge, all the way back to our first "Daffodils" challenge in 2010! All finalists will also be notified by email, sent to the current email address associated with the artist's Spoonflower account.
To find your results, click on the challenge of interest, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click View Vote Counts to see all entries and the total votes they received. From there, you can search by your shop name, screen name or design name by using ctrl + F (on Windows) or command + F (on Mac) with your keyboard.
You can also view all your challenge entries by visiting the My Design Challenges page:

Voting and Results FAQ
▶ My design has a lot of favorites. Are they included in voting?
Our voting page gives voters the option to vote for a design, favorite a design, or do both. Favorites do not count towards votes. Many voters choose to favorite something but not award it a vote.
▶ My design has been entered, but I am not seeing it in the challenge. Where is it?
There are often many entries in the design challenge and it can be hard to find them on the voting page. If you have confirmed that your entry is entered in a challenge, you are all set.
