    There were a couple contests after that RedPersonals one, they're probably buried.

        people need to do more REAL gallery contests like CFF and the Hun Listing.

        100 buck contests and the like are cool i guess, but theres no real incentive.

          The higher you make the price, the better work people will deliver. Sounds simple, but I still see too many $50 dollar contests here.

            Once someone sets up a $50/gallery contest, they're setup as an example.

            Who's gonna be the next person who's going to sponsor a $100/gallery contest?

                I don't think a gallery contest should go much higher than that.. so maybe it's time for members area template page contest or avs tour page contest, etc..

                half page ads, banners, full page ads, logos..

                  this is why many people dont even bother making galleries for these $50 contests. i know i dont bother.

                  oooh big spenders.

                  ill wait for the next CFF contest.

                  10 winners, with 10 hun listings.

                  take notes.

                    I think there is a AVS design contest running with a HUN listing as price!
                    Btw design contest are cool and with 1 contest per day, i could quit my day job and focus on contest to pay my bill

                        very true. I was thinking about entering the ones posted after RedPersonals, but it's not really worth the time.

                          A week in my time is about a month, j/k.

                          To be honest, I'll probably be closing AdultNex now, I'm returning to mainstream design and focusing on my TGP now.

                          Sorry

                            I was being a sarcastic about the $100/gallery price.

                            But as others have said, higher prizes mean more entries to pick from the bag.

                              I was replying to Fletch though.
                              Many gallery designers are only charging $25 or $35 on average. A contest gets them $100 for a design, and even as much as $50 for 5 to 10 runner-ups. It doesn't seem like that much of a waste of time to me, if all you have to do is be one of the top 10 or so chosen and you make more than you already charge for the gallery anyway. Am I missing something that makes it not worthwhile ?

                                  Sounds like you want $100 (or more) for a $35 gallery though. Am I wrong ?

                                    Some designers are already booked. They're the ones who already charge $50 for a gallery. Why would they enter a contest in the hopes of making $50 when they already have people paying them $50 for a gallery?

                                    Their time is better spent making $50 instead of hoping for $50.

                                      Who charges more than $50 for a gallery ? I'm just curious, I'd like to see the portfolio's.

                                        I didn't say I wanted anything. I said 100$ contests are okay, but there isnt much of an incentive.

                                        I'll wait for CFF to throw a contest.

                                        Why? Because im still making money on the rebills from their first contest! And I made waaaaaay more than 100 bucks with the Hun listing.

                                        Aside from this, most of my clients order MORE THAN 5 galleries at a time, some 20 or more galleries, so to stop what Im doing for 50 bucks isnt worth it.

                                          That was just a number.

                                          Even if they charge $35, their time could be better spent making a guaranteed $35 then putting a gallery out there for any retard to steal and hoping they make $50.

                                                100 buck contests and the like are cool i guess, but theres no real incentive.

                                                  Couldn't any retard steal any gallery anyway ?

                                                  I can see the incentive doesn't appear that great for a single gallery. Some of these contests have allowed multiple entries too though. So if you get 5 galleries in and they win.. that's at least $250 if they're paying $50 and potentially $300 if you get the winning entry too. So you sold 5 galleries in that example.

                                                  I am thinking of sponsoring another one so thats why I'm asking all the questions. I want to make sure the incentive is good enough for those who do participate, while at the same time I get some nice galleries out of the deal too.

                                                    That's why you should always watermark your entries in a contest or display them as a solid image.

                                                    I've seen some inexperienced contestants here on GFY that display the full HTML of the gallery. No no.

                                                      Yea. But it's probably a lot easier to steal 20 galleries that were entered in a contest and arranged in a nice list than it is to surf around The Hun and swipe em one at a time.

                                                      I don't know, though. I'm not a designer, I'm just basically talking out my ass on why I think it's not worth it for some of them. ;) So don't take what I say too seriously. They're just guesses.

                                                          ok so back to the earlier questions.. what kind of contest could be interesting to see that involves design but isn't a gallery or a full-blown site.

                                                          member area template ?
                                                          one page tour ?

                                                            Member-area template, probably. That'll be interesting to see developed, since these are one of the neglected and important parts of a paysite that's designed well.
