FAQ Entry #472

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.

#472: My team members' names are not being promoted enough while my name is everywhere.

We always promote all the team member names when promoting the projects, but once the press releases reach the journalists, we cannot control the content of their articles, since the articles are written by journalists themselves and journalists in many cases, prefer to highlight a single name to make their articles more impactful, and that single name usually turns out to be the project leader name who has opened the account at A' Design Award. Therefore for future editions, if a person wish to put a name forward, they should create an account themselves or alternatively, the account name could be that of a team as explained in our account creation page, in this case the team name is promoted instead.

Keywords: team members, name, naming, account name, choosing a name
