Doesn't this fall under the realm of spec work? Shouldn't a contest for this sort of thing be frowned upon?

Meant no offence. Just thought it was a general, professional attitude among printers, sign makers, and designers.

Hell, I'll vote for the guy, if just to make sure a professional gets the job.

 

[Pat Whatley]

By the way...half of those suck. Bad.

Naw, no problems! I don't have a problem with someone doing what they want with their time. My problem lies in a company who's marketing department decides to run a contest to get hundreds of hours of free design time, instead of hiring a pro.

Seriously, good luck!

+1 but then again, everyone's trying to find ways for free advertisement. just imagine how many people will/have gone to visit the page for submittal/voting.
its just like chicago's recent "man's best friend" competition. guaranteed that site hit 7-8 digits'-worth of voters' page refreshes.
