Maybe all the designers should make some sorta pact.
Design contests should have minimum "Price" amount schedual.
Logo's: 500.00 Minimum
Tours 1000.00 Minimum
Somthing.
You designers out there you may not realise what an incredible promotion the "Contest" provider is getting from the hype of your design efforts.
C-mon folks some of you got sponsors buying your sig for god's sakes. What you get is hardly a fricken prize in some/most cases.
In alot of the contests I dare say the designers are the looser's by not realising the promo they are providing as our minds compete to create a good creative work.
Its more than a Showcase for your portfolio's it is simply somebody ripping ya off for your talent.
I plea for $500.00 Minimum on any designer contest.
Not like you designers will agree but it is my
worth on the "Contest" subject.
