    “One of the most exciting parts of our process is running a contest on 99designs. Instead of paying 1 designer for 3 versions of a book cover, we can take that same fee and work with an unlimited number of designers, thus enabling our team to select the cream of the crop. Quite frankly, the opportunity to work with so much talent is priceless.” – View contest
