Ratings

Published Jun 18, 2026 · Updated Jun 22, 2026

Entry Ratings are a key component of a successful Atom Contest. Rate entries by clicking on the smiley icons. 

Each icon corresponds with a rating. 

These ratings are immediately visible to the Creative who submitted the entry, and they help them better understand your preferences. 

Based upon your ratings, Creatives submit even more entries that are closer to what you are looking for. Also, we encourage you to provide feedback, or entry comment, on entries that you want tweaked or improved. 

Rate Early and Often: Start rating the entries as early as possible so that the contestants can adjust their direction based upon your feedback. 

We find that successful Contest Holders typically rate 60% of their entries or more.
