Looks like the TF rules either need modifying or staff need to clarify with users / other staff members how things are going down.

Grats to Gonzalo

You had five different people post their template designs, you chose no winner. You had only four people provide logos, you chose a winner. Hardly fair on the time that the template designers put in. Nine individuals entered the contest with a total of 14 entries/revisions submitted, I think that's enough to warrant that someone gets given a prize regardless of whether you're going to use the winning design or not.

Sure, if only one or two people submitted anything then it would be a different story. Contests have a poor reputation over here, at least be generous and provide those few people with what they came here for -- the winners. You ran a contest not knowing if you would have liked anything. By chance there was a logo that you liked, but what would you have done if there was no such logo? Yay, another failed TalkFreelance contest.

To mods/admins/Steve, sorry for barging into this topic. I could've just left it for bazza` to sleep on and get back to us. But I care for the community and would really love to see contests being a great focal point for us all. At this rate, that'll never (ever) be the case -- especially if all contests either end with the contest holder disappearing, or all contestants walking away empty-handed.

You've nailed my sentiment to a T. And it has nothing to do with my entering this contest, it has to do with the history of contests here.

i get what your getting at and i see your point. but i honestly to have a winner here and never thought that i wouldn't. i guess i expected more because of the talent i know is on here. that could be my fault for not having a winner. but i cant and shouldn't be forced to chose a winning project when i really don't like any of them.

i know that the members which did submit a design worked hard on it but i hope everyone sees my point. i guess ill just wait til one of the admins posts in here and gives his 2 cents.

Not if he permission from an admin.

The only one who should get in trouble is Bazza for not telling the contest participants about the modified rule.

Then why in the world would you agree to the contests rules. You obviously must have seen that you MUST choose a winner regardless to what happens. By posting in this section, you are agreeing by those rules. Even if one of the designs are terrible, you agreed to the rules. You should have discussed / thought about it before posting.

SteveAR, if you want the talent to enter, offer more money.

$100 is peanuts
