Competitions - more like crowd sourcing - the internet is one big racket for competitions that in truth are often just a disguised (shabby) way to take your work, through grabbing the rights or to belittle creativity. Theres no short cuts to having some success for a creative - If you care about your photography / design / music - avoid these type of scams they help no one least of all the creative. Imagine 500 students enter the contest. Each student spends 10 hours on a design, which totals 5,000 hours of work. At minimum wage in Ontario ($11), this amounts to $55,000 worth of free labour, said Tschudin in an email. The fact that one of those students will receive a prize doesn’t negate all of that other free labour. Tschudin also questions why the government is spending money promoting the contest on social media instead of developing a fair process to identify a select number of deserving candidates to design the logo. huffingtonpost.ca/2015/01/20/mytimehasvalue-canada-150-logo-birthday_n_6510432.html
