=== Dominion Fan Card Contest ===
+
−
In October 2011 user Davio organized a fan card creation contest.<ref>Davio, [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=809.0  "Dominion Fan Card Contest"], [[Dominion Strategy Forum]]</ref> As motivation to receive quality entries, Davio offered a modest prize of an Amazon gift card. Davio received 20 entries and allowed the community to vote on the winner. The chosen winner was Archivist, a card designed by rinkworks.<ref>Davio, [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=809.msg13009#msg13009  "Dominion Fan Card Contest"], [[Dominion Strategy Forum]]</ref> The card was an example of a [[Engine#Single_Card_Engines|single card engine]], with the following card text:
+
−
 
+
−
* Name: Archivist
+
−
* Type: Action
+
−
* Cost: {{Cost|5}}
+
−
* Card Text: +1 Action. Choose one: Draw until you have 6 cards in hand; or +{{Cost|1}} and discard 1 or more cards from your hand.
+
−
 
+
−
To the surprise of the community, Davio had secretly contacted [[dougz]] and the card was playable for a limited time on Isotropic.<ref>Davio, [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=875.0  "Fan Cards On Isotropic"], [[Dominion Strategy Forum]]</ref>  This is the only instance of an unofficial Dominion card being playable on the public version of Isotropic.

+
−
=== Mini-Set Design Contest ===
+
−
As a followup to Davio's contest, rinkworks later launched a far more ambitious design contest. The second contest attempted to create a complete mini-set of cards, with every card in the set being designed, voted on, and fine tuned by members of the community. There was a full subforum dedicated to the contest on the [[Dominion Strategy Forum|forums]].<ref>[http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?board=32.0  "Mini-Set Design Contest Subforum"], [[Dominion Strategy Forum]]</ref>

=== Weekly Design Contest ===

A follow-up contest to rinkwork's Set Design contest, [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.0 the Weekly Design contest] was started by Doom_Shark; it has a rotating judging criteria and its host is whoever won the previous week's contest. It has been running since Sept 2018. Its winners are posted in the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=19239.0 Weekly Design Hall of Fame].
