How is the Top 10 chosen?

The top 10 most popular designs shall win prize money and go to print. These will be decided from a combination of:

1) The amount of votes and the scores that your design receives*
2) The comments written by the community
3) SwishSwosh staff and special judges views

*Fraud voting is tracked and will not be considered in the overall score of a design.

How is 1st Place Chosen?

The No. 1 winner will be the design with the most early bird sales. We believe that voting is important, but nothing says "I love that design" more than putting your money where your mouth is. To encourage those who wish to buy early, we will sell at a discounted rate of £12.00.
