hi, this contest is interesting but why the rules of prize payment is not simple? why not just use paypal/ conventional cheque?
im sorry but i have to agree to akira07, but uve put too much information and too many conditions, u just need to say that you need a logo designed and the winner gets say $60 or somit theres no need to even go for $500 cause ppl will think ur fakin
The contest is not for a logo design. It is for posting ads and participating in discussion forums on my site. Each time one does one of this points are awarded. Also the form of payment has not been specificied. It is up to the winner to decide whether paypal/cheque etc. Since I am in the US, I will most likely be using paypal for winners outside of the US but it is strictly up to the winner. Since this is an official contest and I have it posted on several sites I need a disclaimer. The contest is also on my site at http://www.cavegoat.com/contest. Let me know if there are any questions/concerns.
