Oh and I do have a job in the creative field where we do spec work and pitches to clients that never go anywhere. So in a similar way you are not paid for that either. If you say “you still have the salary” – yes however! If my company never sells any of those designs that started as “free work” then i get fired because the flow of money ends. So in a lot of ways they are similar. I just think some people think they should get the fees for the pitches but in a lot of cases that is just not realistic. Clients don’t want to pay for a “mystery product”

All that was said here is also true of hiring any designer. Some steal work aka recycle it into a logo. Don’t have to be on a contest to do that. Some of the BIGGEST design companies out there have been caught stealing others work and making huge profits on it. That will always happen in this field.

I think what it really comes down to, is you can hire one person to try to create what you want.. but if they fail you still have to pay them right? And usually way more than $400. With these contests it gives a client 100s of options.

Then on the designer side, if you are original creator of all your works – you build an account where you are more likely to be chosen as the winner. You also have tons of “potential clients” as on the other side if you are just working as freelancer, chances are – you won’t have very many clients if any. If you are lucky you might get a gig with an agency but chances are your starting salary is gonna blow. So there is up and downs to both sides, I think this article would be better if it had a more neutral stance.

I have entered a few contests, I put in 20 minutes of work and get $400 a piece out of it. Good deal to me and no I do not rip off any one else. :)
