Hahaha...really true. I probably heard 6 out of 10 before

You should add number 11: Join this design contest and you stand to win a lousy price.

Im not talking about the internal design work that you do for your company to help out some charity organization. This is real commercial contest which offers lousy prizes for design work. Especially graphic design. Think about it - if the grand prize is RM1000. You will have 100 fresh designers who thought RM1000 is not a bad prize - and started submitting their design work. The cheapo company just won a unique design at 10 ringgit a piece. Ok, the one lucky winner would probably be happy with RM 1000. But hey, read in between the lines. Most contest would have some sort of a disclaimer note saying that once you submit your design, it is up to them to do what they want with it. Don't waste your talent and time with crappy cheapo contest. Your design, no matter how bad people think it is - is all from your hard work. Don't let design be meaningless.
