Feb 20, 2012 at 15:06 comment added Yisela One thing is freelance competitions where people spend hours working for free to maybe win a chance to get paid, and a different thing is a competition for a big brand for example, hence a good contribution to your portfolio. I disagree with the first one, because nobody should work for free and it goes against the industry (you can build portfolio in other ways). I´m not sure about the second one...

Feb 20, 2012 at 9:22 comment added tone7 @Scott, Apologies. I will have a look at that link you sent. Because as is, I can't see any problem with the competitions. Perhaps my mind will change. Thanks for pointing it out.
Feb 20, 2012 at 8:53 comment added Scott @tone... I realize it doesn't answer.. hence why it was placed in the "comments" section and not the "answer" section. And most people who enter these "contests" justify the entering the same way you do. Until you actually depend upon the industry to make your living, your mindset won't change.
Feb 20, 2012 at 8:48 comment added tone7 @jmort253, my previous comment is for you also
Feb 20, 2012 at 8:47 comment added tone7 @Scott. That is your opinion. It doesn't really answer my question. My question could relate to other client work as well and not only the competitions. I don't get where you're coming from. But to me the competitions are a great way to build a portfolio and get some extra cash. I personally think it is a great idea.
Feb 20, 2012 at 8:20 comment added jmort253 Agree with Scott's comments, but unfortunately the market is going to dictate what the price is. As far as supply and demand goes, if the suppliers are willing to supply, the price will fall. Since money is a necessity in our society, people who need it will do what they can to obtain it. With that said, if you can get real work, please do. Using 99Designs would be like using a credit card to get something now that you could have more of later. It not only hurts you but the entire industry.

Feb 20, 2012 at 8:14 comment added Scott Actually.. freelancers shouldn't be entering these "contests." check out no-spec.com Working on speculation does you and the entire industry a disservice.
