FAQ Entry #302

This is a respond to a previously asked question about the A' Design Award and Competition. The full list of frequently asked questions can be accessed here.

#302: I wanted to ask, how can I get a comment of a project from Preliminary Checking Service? I just uploaded a project description and images. Do I only need to wait or do I need to inform someone that I want to get a preliminary score?

To get a comment and preliminary score, all you need to do is upload your project and wait a bit. You do not need to inform anyone, all designs will get a score within several days. While you wait for your score it is clever to use the advanced submission optimizer to improve the presentation score so that you could potentially have better score and your comments would be more relevant in this case.

• #242: I see that my vote went down (or up) after I updated the presentation very slightly, could you explain why this happens?
• #257: If I fix the client / studio section and input my brand info, would it raise my preliminary score?
• #274: I have put a substantial amount of effort into all of our submissions to boost my submission analysis scores and each submission has now gained a 99/100 score. Yet I received a low preliminary score. Could you advise what is required to get a better score then I have received.
• #300: My project got X points from the preliminary tests. Is there any chance to raise my design points to the 9-10 range if I consider and apply your recommendations?
