@repose - a winning design is based on voting. It's based not just on the number of votes, but the quality of votes. The quality of votes is based on:
1. number of total votes
2. score of each vote
3. activity/history of voter (examples: if a voter only votes for one design and nothing else, their vote has less weight than someone that has voted for many designs. Or, if a voter votes a '5' for one design and a '1' for all other designs, then that voter has less weight than a voter that has a more relevant voting pattern)The algorithm is more complicated than that, but basically the voting is based on a number of factors so popularity is not the only way someone can win.
Once voting ends, we try to inform everyone (winner or not) within 45 days.
I hope that helps!

Hi Jeannene, thanks for your comment. You are absolutely correct. We need to make the terms clearer and simpler. To answer your question, designers get an up front payment AND a royalty. Right now it's a $300 up front payment and $100 per 1,000 sales. As we grow, we will increase these payments over time. Updating the terms is on my list of things to do :)
