how come this, first I received an invitation, and now 10 minutes later it is closed??

I am not too sure. i am very new to this and don't know what i have done. sorry. does this mean i have closed the whole job?

Not sure either, I'm new myself, this is my 3rd contest and I have no idea why is this closed!?
Perhaps you should check if there is any "check mark" to Open/Close the contest, or just ask for help from DesignCrowd

Is there somewhere a LAUNCH button??

what happened to this contest?

i don't know. I'm new to this and don't know what has happened. I've emailed design crowd to see what the problem is. thanks

It says that you are still in DRAFT project, you have not completed the final step to make it open

Some feedback would be nice.

Hi The design is really nice. I think it would of worked a lot better on one line as it is going to be in a header on a newspaper. The concept is great though. Nice and simple but elegant looking as well. Regards Matt
