you're damn right. It amazes me that I usually don't win any contest, just a runner-up, but most of my work comes from people that see what I post at contests. Even better, when I don't win a contest, I usually get the same prize because somebody asks me to modify the design for his/her site or product and get paid for it. Since contests are slightly better paid than my regular prizes (OK, they're not high, but even though), it's a win-win situation for me
