Piss poor prize = "poor turnout"

What do you expect when you're only offering $150 for a prize. You're asking designers to INVEST THEIR TIME, speculating on income and the "prize" is rediculously low...it's really no prize at all.

You might be able to hire a noob designer to do the job for $150 but to ask the design community to jump into a contest with such a small prize is pretty presumptuous.

Save half the "prize" and go shop for a template. You can get a decent one for less that $75...oh yeah...wiat I forgot...you want a CUSTOM design...for $150.

Yes...I see...but "better designers," being a relative term, is about as good as you'll find...designer "A," who entered this contest, is just a bit "better" than designer "B." But, reality is, they both aren't too hot at all.

A decent payout might bring out the better designers but a shitty paying one will not and thus you will only have the chance to find a "better designer" and nowhere near the best designers. And, bluntly, many designers will never enter contests because we work to get paid and not to speculate.

PMDave wins. I'll hit him up on icq and get his details.

That's a given. This is just a blog, and it was mostly just a decent header. You didn't even need to code it. He could've gotten better results elsewhere. There are plenty of good designers that can draft a simple blog design for $150 (without coding it at all).

I win? NO WAY! I never win anything:thumbsup
(ps I just updated my profile to the current icq nmbr)
