Maybe they should have a category for Under $20 Contests...and another for Over $20 Contests. That way everyone can continue to do what they do...and if they elect themselves to work on $20 and under comps. Well they are happy with what they get. To tell you the truth. If there was just a couple (like 3) designated people that would work the Under $20 Contest per day...with that contest ending 24 hours from the time it starts. They could make some good money, because they would know that the contest would end within 24 hours. So everyday would be payday. And an active designer could make some dough being actively involved. Its possible to win 5 contests in a day if there are 20 contests going at any one given time. A student designer can win 5 contests and make $100 a day sitting in his dorm room creating designs. Even if he is a student.

Let me tell you first hand. Everyone has ideas...but everyone doesnt have a load of $$$ like the Corporate Companies do. So it makes sense that there are some designers out there that will work for less. Its not like every single one of these Under $20 designs takes a whole day to create. A good designer already knows his fonts, colors, effects, programs, etc. That he can whip something up within 10 minutes if he chooses to. If it takes him 10 minutes...well I never heard of someone making $20 for 10 minutes, while other designs take longer. As long as their is communication and the openess to work...there are buyers with an openess to buy. Like I said, we dont all have a butt load of cash to spend. We have micro budgets too.

I had the worste experience when I designed a one page mini application site...and then I contacted a web designer to do the same thing. They wanted $5000. I scratched my head for a moment...because it took me 2 hours to do. But they were saying it would take 30 hours like I was retarded or something. All in all, I believe big budgets can pay big bucks...and small budgets are anyone's like you and me...who can afford what we can afford.
