Well first off, what is a contest website? In the Advertising and Graphic design field a contest website is place where people go with a project that they need done. Such as a logo, a brochure, website, etc. They list all the specifics and set a price that they are willing to pay for the finished work. Then like a bunch of piranhas, a shit load of freelancers compete with each other and create some designs and submit them.
These contests sometimes last a month or longer. So what does the "employer" end up with? Way too many designs to pick from, and most of the designs are really terrible and not high quality at all.
I have also noticed that on these websites, most of the "designers" are living in the middle east. They have poor spelling and poor grammar. They undercharge, making the rest of us that are trying to earn a decent wage obsolete in a sense.
The only thing I see coming out of these contest websites are cheaper prices. That is it.
So if you want cheaper prices, low quality work, and poor spelling and grammar then go to a contest website.
If you want high quality work, affordable and quality service then come to me!
