These contests really take advantage of designers. What sucks is that there's always one willing to lower the bar and work for free.

Well in a way, you could compare it to being a real-life artist. If you submit artwork to a gallery competition or the like, if you don't win you don't gain anything (except maybe experience, criticisms, etc....)
Same here. You are doing the work for the chance to get chosen as the winner and receive compensation.
If you don't want to risk losing, just don't enter.
As for those who lower the bar and design for dirt prices, well....eventually people will realize you usually get what you pay for, and good designers will still be in business
