Regardless of talent, active designers will occasionally receive a low star rating or have an entry declined by a client.

Declined entries
Usually, clients can’t leave feedback for each design entry they receive for their contest.
We suggest that clients decline the designs they won’t use and add a star rating and comments to the designs they are interested in.
If your design entry is declined, it’s often just a reflection of a client’s personal preferences and not your skill as a designer/engineer.
Note: If your design is declined, you can submit a new or revised design entry to the client’s contest. You may want to send the client a message to ensure you’re on the right track.
Low star rating entries
Like declined entries – a low star rating is simply a subjective reflection of how much the client likes your design and is not a reflection of your design talent.
The low star rating means that your design entry doesn’t exactly match what the customer is looking for. You can send a message to the client, which can save a lot of time if you’re considering submitting another design entry.
