        Why not just hire someone to make them for you? That would probably be a lot easier.

        Spend you some brain.

            Exactly, now everytime someone needs something done there's going to be a "contest" over it, and the prize is getting paid for your work? Wow, if only every aspect of business was like this. Everyone send me traffic, and whoever sends the most gets a prize of $30/join. Everyone else, thanks for comming out.

                Yes, exactly.. but there will still be designers who will willingly deliver their services only to lose. it makes no sense

                    I agree marcu5, this has got to be the dumbest contest idea someone's thought up yet.

                      You mean to say...

                      "We just wanted everyone to waste their time, see what we get, pay the one we liked the best...and then use them all"

                      The people who sell design services time is worth money. Why the fuck would they do something with out getting paid?

                        No, you thought it'd be easier to waste webdesigners time, by having them do your 'contest', so you could get a nice variety to select from.. tell the truth

                                I wouldn't say the dumbest, I've seen a couple of these lately. They're not really contests unless the prize is substantially higher than what you'd normal pay for the service. I mean how desperate is a designer who would make a banner for a shot at $50?

                                          I wouldn't waste my designer's time for a shot at $50, but with payment upfront...I'd do it for half of what he's giving away.

                                          Some people just don't think things out I guess.

                                                  "We just wanted everyone to waste their time, see what we get, pay the one we liked the best...and then use them all"

                                                  The people who sell design services time is worth money. Why the fuck would they do something with out getting paid?

                                                  I repeat for the feeble minded
                                                  we employee a couple of full time designers and are looking for more to do contracting work with
                                                  I thought this contest might give me an idea of who does good work around here - possibly lead to future work.
                                                  you can't believe how desperate that makes me want to work for you..

                                                    Most skilled designers don't have time for contests with uncertain outcomes. That's why we have portfolios =) You should be able to get a good idea of someone's skill just by looking at their previous work. Please check out mine http://www.sexymojo.com/design

                                                    I would love to talk to you about any future design project, currently I am booked until 02.14

                                                    Thanks for you time

                                                      Hey, it's like this.
                                                      I had an idea to do a little contest. I am sorry if it makes you so
                                                      mad.
                                                      The offer still stands though , if you are not interested - I totally understand , and have a great day

                                                                        ----------------------------------------------------

                                                                        But somehow I think that you "smileygirls" wouldn't be able to do this either

                                                                                                For the amount of time it takes to make one banner hell its worth it if 100 people see your work.....if you are good it will definitely end up with other viewers contacting your for your portfolio etc....

                                                                                                hell if you enter a banner add a link to your portfolio with sample prices etc..... this post can work in everyones favor.
