Practical Photography

Since I recently abandoned the crowdsourcing site of 99 designs because of the way people could put briefs up then not pay out even after giving great feedback 99 designs has taken heed of this.

I recently went back on the site to have a browse at the contests that were being held and saw that now you can get a score which shows you if the contest holder has payed out before how many contests they have held etc.

This is much better because it basically names and shames bad contest holders who are just out for free ideas for designs and are not prepared to pay out for the hard work many people out into the designs.

When viewing a contest you go to the view more details and box comes up detailing when the contest started, how many designers have entered, the amount of successful contests the contest holder has put out and the feedback given.

This is a vast improvement and I may be inclined to start using the site again.
