Design Contests

[Jess]

I know for a fact that some here are very good with graphic designs. So I thought I would share this website I've recently found where you can enter your designs and compete for money. You have to become a member of their website to compete, but it's free. Last year I entered one and won $1,000. It was another site though sponsoring the contest, anyways just thought I should share... http://99designs.com/contests

There are a total of 388 Design Contest right now, and each one pays from $100 to over $1,000 to the winner or winners. Yes there can be more then one winner, it all depends on the company holding the contest on whether they want to use your design or not. Contests include everything from web design, banner design, logo design, t-shirt design, twitter page designs, etc. There's one contest for $4,000 right now... http://99designs.com/contests/22970

It's very simple, most companies pay up to $100 an hour to have a design done from any decent design company or a little less for a freelance designer like myself. By holding a contest instead, they have more options of selecting a better design and only pay for the design they really like and want to use. You the designer hold the copyright of your design and if they want to use it they have to pay, that simple. The website sponsor collects the money prior to the contest from the companies, and you have various options to get paid including pay pal.

I've made this thread in case others are interested and decide to compete. Here we can help each other and answer any questions pertaining to the contests, or simply celebrate our victories !! :cheers:
