I heard of it. But really don't waste your time with that site. It's underselling every designer over there. You'll only get the "prize" when your design is chosen. And do you know how much one logo/design/illustration cost? Probably few thousands or more. The prize money they are offering is peanuts because you'll have to submit like 10 or more in order to get chosen. The competition is high as well. There's a risk of getting your designs stolen or copied by other designers. Or the clients offering the money will back out the last minute and you won't get paid and they might even get your designs for free.

I don't really agree with your opinion. If you have good skill, you can get your money everyday on this site. You can get more money with this site for offering other service to your client, if you have very good rating you can easly get more client for getting higher money.

Whatever floats your boat really. To me it's a waste of time especially if you are a professional because being a professional, you can get a contract work from clients. The clients or the designer can't back out when a contract is signed. The clients will get quality work and the designers will get a decent industry standard pay. (A quality design involves a lot of research and will you do research if you want to simply submit as many design as possible and not get picked?) Those kind of site to me actually attracts clients that do not value quality designs and want cheap and fast designs. But if you are a hobbyist, a designer from a third world country or a design student then go ahead with submitting designs to contest in order to win money.

I have joined on 99design several day week ago. If you have good experience for graphic design and using adobe illustrator, you will get huge money from that site. Everyday, they have thoundsand design contest. Try this site and you'll never regret it. Good luck.
