Find out whether the work stands up when nobody knows it is yours
No followers, no algorithm, no posting at the right hour. A named panel scores your piece against published criteria without ever seeing your name.
What you actually get back
Most competitions return a yes or a no. You get your mark against each published criterion, so you can see whether the panel thought the idea was strong and the execution loose, or the other way round. That is the part you can act on next time.
Alongside it: a certificate of participation that links back to a page on this site confirming it is real, the season e-magazine, and cash if you place in your division.
Your work stays yours
You keep full copyright. Entering grants us a licence to run the contest — store it, show it to judges, publish the result — and nothing beyond that. We do not take a publicity licence over your work, we do not post it to social media, and we do not use it to train AI models, nor pass it to anyone who does.
Private by default
Your entry is not published unless you say so. When you submit there is a box you can tick if you want your handle shown next to your result. Leave it and you are still ranked, still scored, still paid — the result simply publishes as an anonymous entrant. Your consent choice is invisible to judges, so it cannot influence them either way.
A portfolio that is not a feed
Separately from contests, you get a profile. Publish finished pieces and complete projects, add links to wherever else you work, and let people find you through Explore. Three pieces and one project are free; a subscription lifts the limit.
There is no follower count on Kwickdo, and no engagement metric on your profile. Nothing here rewards posting frequently.
Getting hired
Turn on commissions and a Hire button appears on your profile. Enquiries arrive in your studio with the sender’s name, email and brief. Kwickdo takes no cut and does not sit in the middle — you deal with the client directly, on your own terms. Anyone contacting you must have a registered account, which keeps the spam out.
What it costs
The account, your profile and your public result page are free and always will be. You pay only to enter a contest — from ₹150 per work, cheaper in bundles, or a subscription if you enter a lot. There is a calculator on the pricing page that will tell you honestly which is cheaper for how much you actually submit.
Where to start
- Create a free account and put up a piece or two.
- Read the criteria on the open contest before you make anything.
- Photograph the work properly — flat daylight, no flash, fill the frame.
- Keep your name out of the image and the note to the panel.
- Enter, and decide whether you want to be named if you place.
Common questions
I am not a professional. Is this for me?
Yes, and blind judging is the reason. A panel that cannot see your name cannot see your experience either, so an unknown entrant is not marked down for being unknown.
Can I enter work I have already posted elsewhere?
Yes, provided it is your own original work and you hold the rights.
Is AI-generated work allowed?
No. Ordinary digital tools are fine — layers, brushes, colour correction. Work generated by an AI tool is not, and is disqualified without refund.
Can I withdraw an entry?
Any time before the deadline, from your dashboard.
How do I know the judging is honest?
Panels are published before entries open, criteria and weights are published, scores cannot be edited once submitted, and we publish how closely the judges agreed with each other. See how judging works.
