no you don't. you hire somebody to make you a design and you pay them for what they do. If you don't feel comfortable hiring just one person because you're afraid a trained designer won't give you what you want, then you PAY each person from whom you contract work, for the work that they do, and you choose the best of all of your paid-for designs. Contests attract amateurs Contests provide weak results You'd be better taking what little money you have, finding the best beginner who will work for it, and working out the solution with them. Talk to them, guide them, give them a chance to learn and grow. Making a contest means people give a who-cares submission. Nobody wants to pour effort into it because if they don't win it's a loss. http://www.no-spec.com/articles/just-say-no/ http://www.no-spec.com/articles/ten-reasons/ http://www.no-spec.com/articles/why-speculation-hurts/ Hope those help a little, I'm not calling you a bad person or anything, I am just trying to help you get the best result for the money you have...
