With millions of diagrams the Creately diagramming community has become the go to resource for many when it comes to diagramming inspiration. This wouldn’t be possible without our users creating awesome diagrams day in and day out. Web designers, students, network engineers, marketers and many other professionals have contributed to make the diagramming community a resounding success. Now’s the time to get rewarded for your creativity with the inaugural Creately diagramming challenge. It’s time to do something fun and exciting together.

What is the Creately Diagramming Challenge?

Creately diagramming challenge is a competition, where you get to draw diagrams to help others using Creately and win prizes for your efforts. We provide a question scenario for you to design an interesting solution drawn using Creately diagramming software (Skip to the Question). The question will be based on a real world scenario where you will have to figure out the best solution and draw a solution in the form of a diagram using Creately. You can draw any type of diagram as your ‘answer’ for the challenge.  You should also follow and like our Facebook, Google plus Page and Twitter profile so that when you post your entry we have the best chance of seeing it and making sure it’s part of the competition.

Choosing Winners

Winning entry submissions will be selected by Creately staff members from the submissions we are notified about through our social media accounts, we’ll consider the following criteria when choosing:

• Quality and presentation of the diagram.
• Ingenuity and inventiveness of the diagram.
• The completeness of the solution diagram.
• Entertainment and interest of the diagram.

Basically the better an entry looks and addresses the question scenario while being clever and entertaining the better the chance of winning it has. There are no restrictions on the shapes, type or the size of the solution that you can submit. See the terms and conditions for other requirements.

Prizes

The first prize is a Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity and Sleep Wristband in the winners choice of available colors.

We will be accessing your diagrams carefully and the six entrants who submit the best solutions from different entries will each win a Creately Desktop license with a years subscription to Creately Online.
We’ll then select one of the six as the first prize winner.  Out of the top 6 diagrams, we’ll be selecting  the most relevant and the most “perfect” solution that we like this entrant will win the first prize of the Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity and Sleep Wristband.

All the winning diagrams will be published via our social profiles and the best solution will be published in our diagramming library under your name. And we do not forget to publish winners social profiles online.

The Challenge Question
