Best amount of $$$$ for a design contest? - GoFuckYourself.com

KRL · 11-16-2003, 10:53 PM

Designers, what's the best $$$$ number for a logo contest that will really get your creative juices flowing? This one will need to be incredibly special and knock your socks off eye popping.

detoxed · 11-16-2003, 10:54 PM

$10K might do it!

Theo · 11-16-2003, 10:55 PM

for logo? everything above $500 should be good

MetaMan · 11-16-2003, 10:55 PM

id say $300+ if u have a good name backing the contest and have good tersm for it. most designers back out in fear they r just wasting their time or that they will be screwd out of their creative juices.

edit: o shit logo whoops.

Yes, but rich people have money...

You can have as many contests as you want. But who is going to be 'participating' is another story. Someone that makes a lot off design, probably wouldn't waste their time on something like this. And the broke designers, will try it ! Maybe .. TRy it!

if it's a comp, at least $500 I'd say, cos the chances of winning aren't that great if too many designers enter

The majority of guys with money have it because they spend it wisely.

Broke designers tend to be broke for a reason.

Or he's gettin' yanked by money grabbin hoes just for some pussy

Arousal Design · 11-17-2003, 01:40 AM

I think $1000 would do it.

I've participated in logo contests with $1k prizes before (and won... ) and felt it was worth the time and effort. =)

just my

smack · 11-17-2003, 01:45 AM

$500+ depending on how much you feel like spending. the larger the figure, the more excited.

Andy P · 11-17-2003, 02:45 AM

more importantly KRL is time, give enough time, and don't ever ever ever never finish the contest sooner or later than the original date. Make that clear right away.

What kind of contest is this? logo?

I can't say how much money you should offer before i know that, but if its a logo 300 grand should be more than enough.

Its nice to support the community here with a contest but if you want to be absolutly sure you get the best work for your project you should go to a design company and ask for some extra mockups most accept an extra charge to make sure you get the best of the best.

If i weren't a designer myself thats what i would have done, and im not saying it to make you come to me, in fact i don't have time for design work now

lukapensa · 11-17-2003, 04:04 AM

i'd say at least $400 for contest. as guys will do their best and only at that rate it's worth risking (ie. entering but not winning). anyway, i sometimes enter the contests even at $50, but just for fun to show that i'm still around... but anyway, to get the best, either put the bid at $400 or more or go directly to the designing company and request a logo

regards.

Jeezoos man you got a scary looking sig. Oye!

$500 has been done, $1000 has been done..... what about stepping it up a bit?

$2 grand.

That'll separate the men from them that paint stick figures.

agreed, spending wisely is the only real way to make money

chronic avenger · 11-17-2003, 04:16 AM

I would want the prize to be worth the effort put in.

$500.00 is a start. We are talking about professional artist.

Jer · 11-17-2003, 04:18 AM

Something like $300 to the winner, $100 to the 2nd and $50 to the 3rd
