How do I increase my project budget?

A project budget is increased via the 'Increase Your Budget' tool within your Project Management Page.

To do this:

1. Go to your My account page,
2. Click on the Manage Project link for the project you want to increase the value of, and
3. Under project admin tools, click on the Increase Project Budget tool.

This page will allow you to:

• Increase the 1st place budget for the winning designer
• Add / increase the 2nd place budget for a designer
• Add / increase the 3rd place budget for a designer

You simply need to click on the payment (or payments) you would like to add funds to and enter the amount that you wish to add (the value of the increase, not the total amount desired). Once you are happy with the increase values, click on the proceed to secure payment button. Once completed the system will automatically update your project values.

In addition to adding managing places, you are able to add more participation payments to your project (what is a participation payment?). Adding participation payments, allows you to send paid invites to designers which will ensure you can attract the very best designers to your project. Paid invites ensure designers get paid for submitting to your project (How to invite designers to my project?).
