    So, they awarded 9 million dollars for more than 3 million designs have been submitted. That means that the average price for each design is, what $3.00. Of course some would argue that the best designs always win and that this filters out the bad designers. So it's possible that the good designers got paid way more. We all know that the client always picks the best design.

    There are 59,178 designers. If you divided the prize money up among them it averages $158.00. There's probably another way to look at these numbers and put a positive spin on this but I don't see it at the moment. There was a thread on UnderConsideration.com/BrandNew where almost half of the people argued that this is the future of design.
