Design Competitions Out there?

I was just wondering folks if any of you were members of forums or sites where they have design competitions like Sig, Avatar and Wallpaper where there are prizes for it. So if you wanted something designed, you would just head over there and pay $20 for the best entry.

it would be quite interesting to set up a website like this, as there are many budding and aspiring designers out there

Its a good idea. Its just getting the sponsors for the prizes thats the hard part I guess.

 

There are two that I know of that do this kind of stuff: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=219 and http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/

 

I totally forgot about this site - thank you

 

Sitepoint's is the best I believe, you can get some good $ there in 1 day.

 

For high quality results, try Worth1000.com. Check out their previous competitions from the corporate competition category. Next time I need serious logo work, that's probably where I'll turn to.

I was cheking out Worth 1000. Its a very good site, but if had was laid out and themed like DP forums, I think it would be even better.

The contestants and designers there are also very good too

 

Hey I moderate for a forum called http://www.areaofdesign.com/forum/index.php

Area of Design has the drench awards and the forum has posts of different competitions, too.
