If it’s your very first time submitting to a Minted Challenge, you’ll be asked to provide information to help create your Minted artist account. All fields on this page are required unless indicated otherwise.
You’ll be able to edit all of this information later through your Artist Profile. Please note that you cannot change your Minted URL once it’s been created, so make sure you choose one that you like!
Profile Section: Designer Information
Artist Type: You can choose from Artist, Photographer, Designer, and Writer. Feel free to choose whichever suits you best - this won’t limit your ability to submit to different types of challenges in any way, and you can update it at any time.
Designer Phone Number: This is for our records and won’t be displayed publicly.
Designer Name: Some artists choose to use their full names, while others opt for brand names or pseudonyms. Feel free to have fun with this - this is the name your artist profile and submissions will be displayed under.
City: Start typing the name of your city for it to auto-populate. This will be displayed on your profile. Minted community members come from all over the world, and this will show where you’re from and can help you connect to other Minted creatives nearby.
Personal URL (optional): You can use this field to include a link to your own website, your Instagram profile, or any other media you’d like to share with the community.
Profile Picture: You must upload a profile picture in order to submit your work, and you’ll be able to change it at any time. Your image must be sized at exactly 200 x 200 pixels in order to upload correctly, and must be a gif, jpeg, or png file type. Please use a picture of yourself - you’ll have other places to display your work and styled images on your profile.
Profile Section: Thank You Note
If your design is chosen as a Challenge winner, a short thank-you note will be included in every customer order of your design. You can always edit this later from your Artist Profile.
Profile Section: Minted URL
Next, you’ll be asked to create your Minted URL, which will be the link to your very own Minted artist page. Please note: this is the only part of your profile that CANNOT be changed once it’s been created, so be sure to choose one you like.
If the site isn't letting you choose a certain URL, that means either that it’s already taken or that it includes an illegal character. Numbers and non-alphanumeric characters (like question marks, exclamation marks, ampersands, etc.) will not work in your URL. Please pick another and try again!
Make sure that you are only adding in the part of the URL that will be created after “minted.com/creative”. Do not add “www.minted.com/creative/” to your URL, as it will be rejected for including non-alphanumeric characters.
Section: Design Information
Most of this section is self-explanatory, but please be sure to include the names of all of the fonts you’ve used in your design in this section. In some challenges, you’ll be asked to include specific information in certain sectionsn, so please closely review your challenge description PDF for each challenge to make sure you’re not leaving anything out!
Hidden Designs: Below the “Design Information” section, you’ll see a checkbox you can use to hide your design during the submission and critique periods of the Challenge. Note that ifIf you check this box, other artists won’t be able to see your work during those times, during the submission or critique period of the challenge, so you won’t be able to participate in design polls or ask others for feedback.
Section: File Upload
Below the “Design Information” section, you’ll see some checkboxes that should be closely reviewed before you click Submit.
Stock images: If you check this box, a text box will appear where you can add a link to the source of your stock art. Make sure you add this information in for our merchandising team! More info on our stock art and third-party image policies can be found here.
File Upload: Please make sure that you are uploading your resized submission image, a JPG file under 600kb with the longest side sized at 1100 pixels, in this section.
The moment you’ve been waiting for - it’s time to submit your work! If there are any errors when you submit, you’ll have to upload both your artist profile picture and your submission image again before you re-submit, so please double-check all of your information before you click the button. Please also take a moment to read over the linked Terms & Conditions - there is important information on licensing that you should be aware of before you submit your work.
