It's a fair amount for just an uncoded template. These contests go for less on the mainstream forums like Sitepoint, Namepros, and the quality is pretty good compared to these so far. While GFY does have some talented designers, I think he'd get better results on the mainstream sites that do this regularly, and with less bitching because the ones who want to participate do, and the ones who don't want to just don't.

Why would somebody design something that you may or may not pay for....and their only reward will be their normal price "IF" you pick them?

I'm not a designer but I know I watch the contest threads to find a designer for projects I have. I look to see who the better designers are, and I contact them to see if they're interested in more paid work. I think a contest is a nice break for some from the routine, and could bring a lot of extra business to the designers who aren't already too busy.
