Why naming contests work

Tap into the collective creativity of experienced naming professionals.

Diverse perspectives

Multiple contributors approach your brief from different angles, producing a wider range of creative options than any single person could.

Proven track record

Since 2012, thousands of businesses have found their brand name through our contests. Our community has submitted over a million name suggestions.

Fast turnaround

First entries arrive within minutes of publishing. Most contests receive the bulk of their submissions within the first 48 hours.

Quality feedback loop

Rate entries and leave feedback to steer contributors. The more you engage, the more targeted the suggestions become.

Vetted contributors

Our contributor community includes professional naming consultants, branding experts, and experienced copywriters.

Domain-first approach

Contributors check domain availability before submitting, so every suggestion is a name you can actually register and use.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a contest cost?
You can run a basic contest for free. Premium contest upgrades with featured placement and priority notifications are available for a one-time fee. No monetary awards to contributors are required -- they earn credits for upvoted submissions.
How many entries will I get?
Most contests receive over 150 name suggestions. Featured and top contests typically attract even more entries from our most experienced contributors.
Do I have to pick a winner?
With a guaranteed contest, you commit to selecting a winner. Non-guaranteed contests give you the flexibility to close without choosing if no submission meets your needs.
How long does a contest run?
Contests typically run for 7 days, but you can extend the deadline if you need more time or submissions. You can also close early once you've found the perfect name.
Who are the contributors?
Our contributor community includes professional naming consultants, branding experts, copywriters, and creative enthusiasts from around the world. They earn cash rewards through our Talent Points system.
Are entries kept private?
Yes. Entries remain private and visible only to you until the contest concludes. You control whether entries are shared during or after the contest.
