Can I self-launch a repurpose of a Challenge-winning design to my Store?

No. Challenge-winning pieces are exclusive to Minted (as outlined in our Terms & Conditions) and many of our self-launch products are not exclusive. Because of this, we ask you not to self-launch a repurpose of your Challenge-winning design. 

Additionally, all Challenge-winning products go through several rounds of review to make sure they meet Minted’s internal quality and production standards. We’re not able to do this same quality checking for self-launch products, and we want any Challenge-winning design to meet our customers’ (and our own) high quality standards. 

A selling point for our fine art pieces is that they are limited edition, meaning that only a certain number of products will be produced for customers to purchase. We ask that you not self-launch a Challenge-winning art piece into other product kinds to maintain that limited edition status.

If a customer reaches out to you about customizing one of your Challenge-winning pieces on Minted, please feel free to direct the customer to Minted’s Customer Service team at minted.com/help. Our Customer Service team can help customize your existing designs, including retired designs the customer might be interested in purchasing.

You can use the sample language below to respond to a customer contacting you directly:

“Thanks for getting in touch! Minted owns the rights to this particular design, and I’m unable to help with any requests. You can get in touch with their Customer Service department at minted.com/help for assistance customizing a design for your specific needs.”
