DesignContestReviews of designcontest.com

If you are a self-respecting designer, save yourself the frustration and avoid this site at all costs. With no exaggeration, 99% of the time you get no feedback from the "client", or contest holder, so you waste a ton of time guessing in which direction your designs are headed. You are basically designing for pennies on the dollar if you even manage to win one or two contests. It's an insult. If you are a company looking for a mediocre (and sometimes downright awful) design for on the cheap, this site fits the bill. Occasionally, I'll see an agency-quality design, but that's maybe 2% of the logos submitted. Avoid this site if you value your company's image. You get what you pay for.

My wife wanted to have a website built for my company for a surprise and contacted design contest for it. It was a surprise. after running a second contest we picked a design that was pretty good paid 600.00 then I found out that you do not get a working website just a picture of it. they offer to build it for an additional 1900.00 !!!! We contacted Sherie Voss she was rude and no help at all. Lucky for us this was the first contest the guy that designed the site for us had entered thru designcontest.com.He was a great guy and shocked they didn't want a working site when he did it.He built it for us and did a great job for a little of nothing
