I've found this site called http://99designs.com/. Its essentially a contest site for logos, icons, web designs. Its pretty lame for professional designers because they won't be able to compete with the prices that rang from $100-$500 for logos and up to a $1000 for website design, which is extremely low. Beside the low cost, the designers have to create the designs, put the hours in to finish, then submit them and just pray they get chosen since they are competing against up to hundreds of other designers.
Even though I feel that this contest system for choosing graphic designs is a douchey practice. I think it is good for students to help their portfolios and have a chance to win some cash in the process. I do enjoy logo design so I will be entering a few just for the practice and possibly portfolio pieces.
