There are many reasons you may choose to run a design contest instead of getting design work done in a traditional way.

• Design contests are ideal if you don’t have a freelance or in-house designer that you work with already. It allows you to sample lots of different work.
• Design contests allow you to see finished designs created just for you, rather than making a decision to work with a designer based on their past projects.
• Design contests are fast. The average contest lasts for a week, at the end of which you walk away with a finished design.
• Design contests are cost effective. The average contest will cost you less than $300 USD.
