choosing-a-winner
Declaring a winning submission and what happens next for clients and creators.
Declare the winner
Use the declare winner flow from the submissions experience when you are ready to commit. Confirm you selected the intended entry—this action typically triggers downstream notifications and award steps.
After selection
Follow any prompts for payment completion, legal acknowledgements, or asset handoff described in your package. Creators receive notices according to contest rules.
Handoff to AI Studio (optional)
Some teams continue branding work in AI Studio after a contest—for domains, logo exploration, or launch checklists. That is a separate product path; see Contest handoff.
