eLogoContest.com - Design Contest Supersite

eLogoContest is a brand new startup that allow small business and website owners to run "logo design contests", where the business owner creates a "logo design contest", sets the amount they want to pay for their new logo, and logo designers then create logos based on the requirements provided by the business owner and enter them into the contest. The designer whose logo gets picked as the "winner" by the business owner gets paid the full amount put up as the prize. eLogoContest facilitates the "logo contest" from start to finish, including collecting the prize money from the business owner and paying the designer. First, you need to register as a contest holder. Creating an account allows you to start your own contests and gives you access to the Private Message system. Next, you fill out the "Design Brief", this is where you provide all of the details for your logo design contest. Make sure that you are as thorough as possible when filling out the Design Brief, as this is the information that the designers will use to design entries for your contest.

“When you run a Logo Design Contest you can rest assured that you will receive more variety, quality and attention than you would ever get with a conventional logo design firm. With conventional logo design firms you pay for a set amount of designs (usually 3-10) that you are then stuck with, with a logo design contest you get to see and comment on a large number of designs created just for you by talented designers from all over the globe.”

Although "design contests" have been commonplace in many forums for years now, eLogoContest is one of the first sites to offer an efficient, easy to use system that makes running or entering a contest extremely easy. One of the things that make eLogoContest completely different from anything that has come before is the option for "contest holders" to prepay the "prize money", thus ensuring that a designer gets selected as a winner and gets paid.

This site presents an original idea, for designers to participate in these logo contests. Is this site advertising itself so people get to know it?
